Simple Qigong to release Stress and increase Energy

Here's a 40-minute Qigong class suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
We focus on diaphragmatic breath, gently warming and opening the fascia and joints, and some moves to energise the spine and move Qi (energy) up and down the back. Working on increasing mobility and strength in the spine we continue with a little fire element work, opening and stretching the chest and pericardium. Then working with the metal element, we move and stretch the area around the large intestine, opening the lower back and building strength in the upper arms, legs, and glutes. We conclude with a short, standing meditation in which we practice breathing with the whole body.

I hope you enjoy the longer class structured practice. Let me know how you get on in the comments and pop any questions in there too.
