Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body - This set contains the core of our entire system. The set begins with the standing and dissolving practice which increases awareness of the body’s natural alignments and clears energetic blockages. Also included in this set are the body unification and waist loosening exercises Cloud Hands and The Three Swings. These are a crucial part of developing hip and waist flexibility, leg stretching and knee stability which are the basis for safe and effective long-term practice.

The final stage of Energy Gates is the Spine Stretch. This movement open each individual vertebra of the spine which allows for maximum stretching without the danger of pulling a muscle. The Spine Stretch is also the basis for the later spinal chi gung practices taught in more advanced sets.

This is an excellent set for beginners and intermediate students alike.
