I had only experienced static Qi Gong exercises before seeing this DVD.
I liked it very much. Matt Cohen explains each move and its benefits. The water and fire exercise sets are a lovely contrast to each other - fire being stronger and the water being more meditative in the stillness and gentleness of the exercises. After 40 minutes, the little legs certainly feel as if they have had a workout. The scenery and slightly aboriginal music in my view , combine beautifully to create a mood of calm strength and the music is not intrusive.
The dvd has a facility to turn off the commentary so that the exercises can be done to the music only, which will avoid listener irritation and consequent reluctance to practice. Matt Cohen and the Chinese lady practising alongside him are easy on the eye. Seeing a lady do these exercises is a great encouragement to practice. Worth buying.

This DVD is so worth the money! It came really quickly and I have done the water part of the programme, which is gentler than the fire part, for the last 3 days. I think that the exercises are really good for those who are trying Qi gong for the first time like me. There are two programmes fire and water, fire more energising and water more calming. Both programmes last for 40 mins and are very clear and easy to follow, music and scenery also very calming. I liked also that you can turn the instructions off and just have the music when you become more proficient. I use to do ballet and I really like Qi gong as a practice because it incorporates both grace and strength. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue I use to exercise a lot before I became ill but exercise generally has left me feeling worse, except for doing the Qi gong. So glad I bought this DVD!

I initially saw part of this DVD on TV's Body in Balance. I'd never done any Qigong before but am a Reiki practioner so I was used to working with energy or 'Qi'. I was amazed how energized I felt at the end of the programme and this set me up for the whole day. I play the DVD most days and really find it both energises and relaxes me at the same time. It's easy for anyone to do, I have some back problems that I am working through and I have found them easing as I do the exercises but I have to go gently into some of the postures. It's great for beginners and now I'm learning more about the other internal Qigong exercises but I usually begin with this DVD first. I recommend it as a means to learning to relax, to feel more present, to learn more about active meditation techniques and for feeling energized and positive all at the same time.
