    I endorse all of the wonderful comments below. This is pure magic. This is my second day doing it, and I just love it. I am 74 and have RA, and am able to stand to do it. However, it is so wonderful to know that if I need to sit one day (in the far off future because I do QiGong), I will be able to. Lee, you and your parents are just such beautiful souls that it warms my heart to know there are people like you in the world, particularly in this time of great distress on this planet from a multitude of causes. May all those of us who practise QiGong send love and healing to others and this planet whilst healing ourselves. And, for me, may I become more like Lee and his parents who must surely be so proud of their son and the benefit he is bringing to the world. Thank you. 💗🌹🙏

    I have been doing this particular exercise everyday for about 3 months. I feel so much better afterward, ready to face the day with positivity and happiness! I can't get through a day without it! Seeing the love and respect the family members show one another is very inspiring -- it is the love shared between them and the love for all that makes it work for me!

    These gentle movements with lovely clear explanations are also ideal for people with disabilities, who may be able to stand for a while, or may need to sit, or both! I practice daily with my son who is 25 and has disabilities that leave his joints in pain and stiffness and these lovely classes do us both the power of good, thankyou ♥️

    Lovely session. Thank you Family Team Holden! Lee's Qi Gong instruction and meditations helped me get through cancer treatment in 2012 and I have practised Qi Gong and Tai chi daily since then. Now 70. I feel stronger and healthier than I was in my 20's!

    By following along this perfect-length session, my morning stiffness is gone, and I feel open and energized for the day. I could see this becoming a regular morning practice for me, a 74-year-old woman in California. Many thanks to each of you in this lovely family.

    This video is so sweet, it just brings a smile to my face. Hearing the gentle coaching from Lee's mom that we are more than our limits, doubts, and fears - just what I needed today.

  • @briganfree3656
    @briganfree3656 Год назад

    Thank god for your Mother and you. This is just what I needed. I have 3 rare genetic illnesses which tend to be co morbid. These have gotten worse with age. Medication I was on caused me to lose muscle mass and become very fragile. Though offbthat now as I am 60 I might never build that muscle back as a younger person would. I am now as fragile as a 100 year old. This is the only exercise I can do and I would lime to thank you all because I do feel better because of it.
    Other peoples beginner vidos are too fast and do not expkain the excercises well enough. I am now going to explore your other offerings. I love your mother. ❤️

    I wish all exercise instructors had to have their parents in their videos that are geared toward seniors (though it might not help, even then). Lee is the only instructor out there who does not inadvertantly patronize or condescend to seniors in his videos. Just like any other type of exercise class (e.g. yoga, aerobics, pilates), you simply generically suggest using a chair for balance, or a simpler version of a move if needed, not addressing an age group. You wouldn't believe how many other video instructors show a move as simple as lifting your baby finger and practically say, "Now Granny, if this is too hard for you..." Or "You older folks, blah blah blah." Lee's classes do not express any age bias. Love his stuff!
