An enjoyable way to learn Qigong February 10, 2007
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
"Qigong Beginning Practice" is a two-disc set with a total content time of 2.5 hours. The first disc is the workout demonstrating the exercises and the second disc is an excellent documentary putting the exercises into their historical and cultural context. I bought this DVD because I truly benefited from the "Qigong for Stress Relief" DVD.
Francesco Garripoli is an engaging instructor who clearly loves Qigong. The snow-capped mountains in the background are spectacular, the music is great and the demonstrations and explanations are succinct and spot on. A few repetitions and you get it. I took some notes. Sometimes I'll sit back and play the workout disc from beginning to end just to fine-tune the movements and make sure that I'm synchronizing the breathing properly.
I particularly like the concluding section of movements aimed at specific illnesses, e.g., if you have sore shoulders do this practice. It has been proven that if people can exert even a small degree of control over their illness it will increase their self confidence and they will get better faster.
The only complaint I have with the workout DVD is the menu. There is a lot of material here (some 28-30 exercises) and you have to search for individual exercises linearly, which I found a bit annoying. An index/menu would have helped.
Otherwise it's a great DVD for Qigong beginning practice.
