At our school a variety of Qigong skills are practiced. These include static qigong, dynamic qigong, standing meditation and sitting meditation. Static qigong involves holding different stances for a certain amount of time. While dynamic qigong such as Bauanjin and Five Animals Qigong uses moving postures. Finally standing and sitting qigong are practiced throughout the week to calm the mind and correct posture. These different arts have the combined effect of strengthening the body and tendons, aiding circulation, realigning the body and calming the mind.
