Review
------
Over the last 1.5 years I have purchased a total of 14 of Dr
Yang's videos. They are all excellent in every way. I could not
begin to recount all that I have learned, but in a nutshell, so
much about body awareness, centeredness, breathing, energy
manifestation, channeling energy, mind-body-spirit connections,
are you starting to get the idea? These are DVDs that reward
repeated viewing and practice over time. Dr. Yang's gift to
mankind is treasure for those who seek it. -- websites
I've been waiting literally for years for this disc to come out!
I was very pleased with the outcome of all of Dr. Yang's efforts.
The disc is well produced, with almost too much information, if
that's even possible!? This is what has been missing from all
other videos in the world teaching this very ancient form of Qi
Gong...... proper instruction! Dr. Yang imparts quite a lot of
detailed information on relaxation, mood, beathing, and even a
large section taught by one of his students on the relationship
of the 5 Animals to the 5 Elements in Chinese medical theory and
which organs they affect. The 5 sounds for the 5 organs are
introduced as well. It's absolutely a wonderful disc if for only
the information alone! The disc is well over two hours long, so
the instruction is more than enough. ...To sum things up, I
couldn't recommend this disc enough! Dr. Yang's teaching style is
very warm and personal. After just one viewing you will know so
much about Qi Gong and Chinese medicine that you'll be the center
of attention at your next party! Just be sure to dress as your
favorite animal....the monkey maybe? -- websites
This DVD covers the 5 Animal Sports Qigong set that displays the
movements and spirit of the Tiger, Bear, Monkey, Deer and Bird.
Master Yang's daughter Kathy Yang helps to perform the set with
her her. These five routines are far from short and simple.
They are complex and long. Each of them in their own right would
be a wonderful Qigong routine. One of the important aspects of
doing Qigong, Taijiquan and many other internal martial arts is
intent. Without intent the moves become empty in meaning and lack
focus, balance, rooting and power. These Qigong routines display
the characteristics and spirit of the five animals, which brings
life to these routines. The DVD starts with a lecture by Master
Yang on the history of the Five Animal Sports Qigong set. This is
followed by discussions of the healing sounds, and their
relationship to the Five Elements. -- website
