    I am a 71 year old retired yoga teacher/ caregiver. I have taken literally thousands of Qigong classes as time allows on line. I am a member of Marissa's Yogi site and practice it daily with gratitude. That;s where I first saw you a guest on her couples practice and looked you up. It was a one way turn. This Morning Dragon Qigong class is simply the BEST Qigong class ever on the planet. Just had to let you know. I am truly grateful.

    Oh I needed this, I have been with a stomach virus or something doe the last 4 days. . At 64 I started Qi Gong about 9 months ago and it has been such an improvement overall, Even my 2 horses and goats are thankful I do it. 😄. By the way I have been sleeping in a hammock for 5 years and sleep better as well. I am so thankful for you.

    I am asthmatic and always exacerbate with more vigorous exercise. I started with Qigong not even 60 days ago and I am finding my overall exercise tolerance is slowly but surely increasing. It has also really helped with work stress and I can see how much more focused I am. Thank you.

Qigong has definitely transformed my health and I am grateful for all of Qigong teachers out there that are sharing their knowledge. For me, Qigong is the key to age gracefully, healthy and strong.

    Where is that Nick? We live in a beautiful place similar to that in S France with gauges and beautiful running water, where we can swim to get away from the mosquitoes. Struck by the oranges whites and grays of rocks. Wonderful morning exercise - thank you so much! I have lost my teacher for Qigong as going to Art class now and can't afford both!

    wonderful and gracious free routine. Very kind of you, Nick. Much gratitude coming your way. i do belong to another group, but as resources unfold, i may be able to join. soft voice, minimal explaining, but thorough. hope it may be taken as helpful perhaps to have a few moments here and there to have stillness--especially in places like this incredible waterfall! i really loved the stillness at the end--wish that could have gone on for a long long time!!! sending love to you.

  • @poetry2024
    @poetry2024 Год назад +1

    Nick, this is a nourishing ritual. I feel calm, centred and yet more alive and that aliveness is contained which means it's not spilling over and then dissipating. I appreciate your gentle voice, without music. You do find some magical locations which means you probably need to hike a long way to get there and present your Taoist wisdom. Thank you for sharing your essence. (from Australia).

    • @TheNickLoffree
      @TheNickLoffree  Год назад +1

      That’s amazing to hear, I’m so glad it affected you in that way :)
      This one was actually an unusually short hike 🤓 Just a 2 minute walk up from a Shinto shrine. They usually build them near a source of clean running water so it can be used in the fountains. Such a fun place!

  • @thesunforest5178
    @thesunforest5178 11 месяцев назад

    I didn‘t even know that the dragon stands for the spine and wasn‘t even looking for a Qigong exercise for my back - but it is always much needed as I have a lot of back pain. Thank you for this session🙏

    This routine is one I like coming back to again and again. Kind of nice to fall back in and immersing oneself completely to the fullest. What makes a perfect set of moves for every morning or evening is still a question for me.? Can you recommend a set? Thanks for sharing and taking the time to consider. 😊

    What a wonderful routine. It feels so good to focus on mobility in my spine. Thank you! And I have a question: doing the Waterfall, are the backs of the hands touching as they go down? And are the sides of the hands touching as they come up?
