Traditional Qigong Online Lesson 4 - Soft Tissue Release

Today focuses on the unique way we move in Qigong. It's not stretching or pushing the body. We follow the method of pandiculation. A cat like movement when waking from sedentary with an up dog or pawing like movement, or similar to a human yawning. Both movements are pandiculation. Which is an unconscious sensory led stretch that lengthens the muscles and tissue just enough to release tension, yet not too much to create more tension.
