One of our Zen monks in Washington State, who teaches qigong, just started us on the dong stick. He mentioned that Thich Nhat Hanh's group ar Plum Village does these exercises daily, and I was so happy to find that you are teaching us the exact method so I can practice at home. Well done!

Great exercise! I've been looking for a qigong exercise using the stick, and this showed up. Thank you KZbin for this video and thank you June Mitchell for demonstrating the movements. It's deceptively simple movement, yet very powerful to strengthen the overall body, especially when the breathing is done correctly. There are a couple of movement that were quite challenging for this was my first time doing it. With daily practice, I suspect my body will adapt. Feeling Good..."live long, be healthy, and prosper..." Namaste.

Thanks to June Mitchell for demonstrating these lovely Chi Kung exercises. I have done them while a retraite and my body really loves these smooth but firm movements. Very good if you work a lot at your desk or car! You should try them!!

I have just discovered your video and i'd like to know where i could join you if possible. Anyway thank you for these demonstrations

[@annabelleanasuyasaini2062]

thank you 🙏❤

[@Tashio240]

Is the idea of the stick being Bamboo so that it will move with you rather than oppose your movement?

I am a patient of ankylodging spondylitis. I have hip joint replacement on both sides. Can I do these stick exercises? If I can, which ones can I exercise?

Dear Tuhin, we have passed your question on to the teacher on the video to see if she can answer your question and will respond as soon as we hear from her. Thank you for watching. 😊

@@tuhindey5478 Tuhin here is what June has written for you - sorry for the delay - I couldn't find out how to reply to you but here it is: Dear Tuhin, I suggest looking at the U tube and trying exercises that look possible for you. Try the easiest - do 3 of each exercise very slowly. Stand and breathe, smile, enjoy. Maybe start with one or two exercises. Pay attention to your body. How does it feel? Continue if you feel like it. Once a day every day. Use a light stick the same length as your height. Enjoy. June
