    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.

    Wonderful dragon practise, I loved every move. It was so calming to hear the waterfall in such a beautiful setting with your excellent instruction and peaceful voice.

    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.

    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!

  • @poetry2024
    @poetry2024 9 місяців тому +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  9 місяців тому +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!

    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. 😊
