Da Wu also uses pulling, stretching, rotating, shaking and rubbing motions to relieve the joints, muscles and blood vessels and their corresponding channels to improve the circulation of qi and blood.<\/p>\n<p>Da Wu exercises are soft, graceful and slow, which produces the external \u201cdancing\u201d movements that harmonise with the internal movements of organs. This integration of external \u201cdancing\u201d and internal organ movements produces great positive physiological effects. This is a \u201cdance \u201cexercise\u201d suitable for people of varied abilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mawang Dui Health Qigong<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This exercise set is based on the Daoyin Tu (Daoyin Chart), unearthed from the Han dynasty tomb at the Mawangdui site, Changsha, Hunan Province, China, in 1973, and hence the name of this qigong routine.<\/p>\n<p>These exercises are mainly characterised by guidance along meridian channels and the synchronicity of mind and body. The movements were designed with the purpose of focusing on opening and closing, ascending and descending, rotating and revolving, bending and stretching of the body, its tendons, and bones. Some key features of Mawang Dui as a method of set exercises are its deliberate simplicity and elegant postures designed to cultivate one\u2019s internal and external wellness and prolong life for a promising longevity.<\/p>\n<p>When: <strong>Saturday 1 April 2023, 1pm-4pm<\/strong><br \/>\nWhere: <strong>Ashburton Primary School, Fakenham Road, Ashburton<\/strong><br \/>\nCost: <strong>$70<\/strong>, or <strong>$60<\/strong> concession.
