Another wonderful class. I am at peace, as I usually am after your classes. Your generosity in sharing your knowledge is such a gift and is greatly appreciated. Bringing health and wisdom to the Galaxy !

[@hip-hopman6636]

I've done so many Qigong routines and I love them but the way you combine the movements makes it 10x more effective

[@pipiponce]

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart , i have been struggelig with depression and other health issues. Your bideos have saved my life. God bless you❤

[@TheNickLoffree]

I’m so happy to hear you’ve been finding some relief! Don’t stop 🕊️ The darkest times forge the brightest hearts 🌞

[@karenlorentz5048]

Much as I love your live classes, this scenery beats your house!

[@TheNickLoffree]

Hahaha I thought so too! ;P

[@dreamweaver1832]

I get lost in each of the tai qui videos. Find myself relaxing and finding peace within. Plus the beautiful scene where the practice is taking place so peaceful ❤️

[@rebeccatolinmind-bodycoach]

I absolutely loved the serenity of this practice, Nick! Your cues to tune into the energy inside and outside were so supportive to my experience. This is one my favorites and I will return to it again and again! Thank you for cultivating your own deep practice and sharing it so generously.

[@SydneyReed-zr9ou]

Thanks Layla for linkng us to this. Perfect for my cold, and UTI. Thanks Nick Loffree

[@GroovyButterfly]

Very nice, thank you Nick! I really enjoy when you explain the “why” of movements & postures. I also appreciate your poetic descriptions, like “moving through mist.” 💚 One thing that pulls me out of the moment, is when you say “acrossed.” That is not a word. Across is always across. 😉

[@jyoung11650]

Found this (again) on 2/27/2024. Perfect for what I needed on a cold winter day in Columbia, MD! Thanks so much.

[@carolhalter5680]

Another gorgeous session. Your soothing voice and commentary during the practice are so mesmerizing and really enhance the experience. Thank you for your dedication, Nick!

[@avm9647]

Lovely. The visualisations you use are so helpful. Happy 2025 everyone

[@meleakua]

The snow is so gorgeous! ❄️ What a perfect, soothing practice. I will definitely be coming back to this one whenever I need a little peace & calming- thank you!

[@SantoshaRoseYoga]

This was so beautiful, I feel so grounded and peaceful and also very gently energised. The setting is stunning and really added to the feeling of serenity. Thank you for creating such wonderful experiences for us Nick 🙏😊✨

[@cmadge7474]

This is a wonderful class. IT is currently very cold in the UK and I do this class to warm up my body and relax my mind. Thank you. Much appreciated.

[@user-zz4uc7lu4m]

Thanks Nick; another excellent session. I love being subscribed because "new" to me sessions pop up that I haven't seen before! perfect.

[@lizanderson290]

What a beautiful and serene backdrop, Nick! It was a wonderful treat from my unchanging environment in Florida. Thank you for this great class.

[@spiritflower222]

Not only is this practice deeply grounding and relaxing, but your voice really got me into the vibration of the water element and Winter energy. Thank you so much! Love❤

[@TheNickLoffree]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@amybernard4638]

So good! Exactly what I needed. Thank you! I'll be returning to this again and again. Thank you, thank you for sharing!!!

[@lordsnoot]

This was special Nick, thank you from an older man. Keep doing what you're doing friend❤

[@EveCostarelliAlwaysBeDancing]

Thanks Nick! Just what I needed for myself and my inspiraton this morning!

[@naomilim2378]

superb as usual❣️

[@chimanstan]

Great work Nick, love seeing a teacher with a similar approach

[@Laneyharbor11]

I love the scenery, the music, your calming voice and the movements in this class. Thanks Nick!

[@yogawithnicolespirit]

Lovely practise and the setting is gorgeous! I really enjoyed that class and your efforts to snowshoe into the snow was worth it, beautiful class. Ps. As a student of your teacher training, I highly recommend you to anyone wishing to further their studies. You have amazing Teacher-Qi.☺️

[@TheNickLoffree]

Thanks Nicole!!

[@susanferguson3390]

thanks you that was a beautiful class. Your voice is so calming

[@debrawolf6811]

Thank you, Nick. This is wonderful! I really like your explanations as well as the movements and background music. I learned why we sometimes breath out the mouth and sometimes out the nose. I had never heard a clear reason before.

[@sabrinashea198]

Another excellent class! ❤Thank you, Nick. You are so kind. Would love to see a video for chronic tendonitis of the arms. Can’t seem to get rid of it. I play sax in 2 community bands so really have to try and minimize my playing time. Darrrrn. ….😊

[@denisel780]

This was such a beautiful practice. Perfect for today. Loved the scenery too. Thank you.

[@murattascioglu3842]

Great class, thank you, Nick. Maybe some spring qigong (dragon or leopard) next time?

[@michelledestefano5410]

I too am a teacher of Qigong. I appreciate the way you presented this set. I really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing. Absolutely beautiful!🙏🏼

[@nancybernard955]

I do Qigong with your videos and came back to this one today. It was a very enjoyable experience. Thank you. It is a beautiful presentation.

[@janiceacken2908]

I loved this practice. Just what I needed today, the water energy was perfect. Thank you for sharing , I enjoy so much your videos.

[@lerx2112]

The weather is getting colder and this is absolutely perfect for this time of year. Thanks Nick. Really solid class. Adding this one to the playlist to keep it in rotation! 🐉🤲

[@amandaromain6329]

Just found this very appropriate class Nick, so so good, I struggle in winter but doing your classes every day changes all that. Thank you for another excellent class.🙏🎉

[@MyFrancesanne]

Thank you Nick 🙏 this was a beautiful practice this morning. I’m feeling refreshed and ready to take part in the day whatever the stresses of the world 🕊

[@Antarpriti]

Thank you, Nick, for this beautiful routine! I have a question: during the winter, is it beneficial to focus only on Water element/Kidney meridian routines, or is it better to also include routines meant for other elements/meridians/organs? If it is better to include them as well, what should be the ratio for general health and better balance?

[@jacquelineauld1036]

Amazing Nick thank you. 🙏 beautiful location, lovely refreshing energising workout. 🙏

[@knowledgeofhealth7821]

I like how u just transrelocated into another dimension at the end

[@TheNickLoffree]

[@terrywalker7682]

I really enjoyed this tonight - felt so relaxing.

[@goldengaitstable]

[@barbarapanno6319]

Well done and love that you were practicing in the snow.

[@claudiaelwell7627]

Great Class! My friend said you were on a "Snoga Mat"!

[@TheNickLoffree]

Haha! I wish!

[@nboris]

Merry Christmas Nick and everyone! Thank you Nick! This looks like a class which I could benefit from. Do you think we should focus on our work needing areas while selecting Qigong videos of yours, how and when should we transition to specific practices, can you give a hint on this one please? I really feel grateful for your videos. Thank you 🎉❤

[@federicohijano]

Thank you for this practice Nick!

[@katelynde1537]

What a beautiful class, very nicely presented!!!will be repeating! Thanks so much🥰👍🌟

[@hinewhiuwinks8332]

Kia Ora Love them movements .Beautiful surroundings, .

[@Spicynuggetdj]

Thank you, Nick! This is lovely! My acupuncturist said that I have a kidney qi deficiency. That my heart is not communicating with my kidneys. I am hoping this routine will help get me back to good.🙏

[@soniacravillon2675]

Dank u Nick ook voor de duidelijke uitleg

[@24sparker24]

I love your classes. Thank you

[@EmbodiedLight]

Excellent as always. Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@elsophie1907]

Ohhhh i love this winter practice, thank you Nick! Looking forward to a Spring version🌷🌷🌷

[@lidiaabasolo8405]

In my opinion it is very well explained your winter qi gong, also the music that goes together is great. I'll be very interested in more of your videos of qi Gong I want to see these courses you say to teach but I did not understand how to reach them. Maybe you can write it down please. I"''m not English and I did not get this. Thank you so much your teaching is helpful Maybe it will be great to say at the end to lay down for a short relaxation...

[@Bamstudio333]

Hi Nick! Thanks for all your videos we really enjoy them in our family. Curious, when does your teacher training open again or is it evergreen? Thanks again! 😊

[@ghyslainemichaud9978]

[@TheNickLoffree]

Thank you!

[@alisoncolyer9572]

Another wonderful routine - thank you

[@josie968]

Magical! Thank you!☯💗

[@manonruel9047]

Great background for this one, we have a lot more snow over here but not these beautiful mountains ;) Thank you for this routine !

[@jonathankelly2655]

Would be cool if you made videos on theory of Qi Gong. After following your work for a while, I am curious why certain movements follow after one another.

[@TheNickLoffree]

I’ve been planning some of those! Thanks for the nudge :)

[@jonnyb12]

Wonderful as always. Many thanks.

[@milena94]

I noticed your patreon isn't mentioned at the end of your vids and it's not linked in the video info. it's one of my favorite resources because it has longer practices, just tossing out the idea of linking it more places :)

[@TheNickLoffree]

Thank you, that’s a great idea!

[@btomov]

This was amazing and super helpful. Thank you🙏❤

[@rebeccahsteele8044]

Just what I am looking for and found so warming and reassuring 🙏🏼

[@TheNickLoffree]

Aw that’s great to hear Rebecca!

[@sueyork6480]

Thank you ❤stormy winter day

[@rubinaswaria-ahmad1166]

Lovely routine. As always 🙏❤️

[@jeannedeferranti2299]

Wonderful fullness meditation thank you

[@joankimminau8739]

I really like this video. For one reason, it makes me feel good and relaxed and for another reason, it's so much easier to see the hands and fingers with the dark gloves against the white snow. Thank you, Nick.

[@TheNickLoffree]

Thank you!

[@AD-rr9uz]

Every time you move your practice to these wonderful nature spots it always enhances my experience. Thanks for being a great teacher. Thought for another video, micro cosmic orbit? That gives me the most intense calming Qi I have ever had. Ty!

[@pmckinnon]

Thank you Nick! This is a great routine and the snow is so beautiful and serene. Seems like this routine is a good one for perimenopause and general menstrual health as well?

[@TheNickLoffree]

Yes, building up the Kidney Qi would generally be considered helpful. Glad you enjoy it!

[@sandibroad4099]

Thank you🤗

[@rachelstevenson9659]

[@ABSCHEF]

Hi, I would like a practice for hot flashes, because a lack of Jin energy. Tanx for this one Annebert

[@CRISISACTOR7]

thank you nick, another awesome class. I'm not sure if this is a part of your practice, but I would love to see and hear your take on the microcosmic orbit.

[@studentsofhealth]

I’m really new to chi gong and I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m really enjoying your classes. I find the standing meditation quiet challenging to hold my body completely still for that long but I do what I can. Thank you for your classes they have helped my mental health massively these Past few weeks and I’m looking forward to learning more about chi gong

[@TheNickLoffree]

Thank you!

[@joystaelens6150]

That was a great workout thanks

[@lolocmc744]

Much appreciation to you and for everything you do to make such wonderful videos and share them! I am wondering if this workout would be good to do while having a UTI.

[@simoncairns6398]

Hey Nick, what’s the soundtrack behind this routine?

[@TheNickLoffree]

Ah, wish I could remember. Try Shazaming it!

[@iberinlondon]

it's very good

[@amberlabounty8729]

Thank you for another great video! Will there be a qi gong for Spring?

[@TheNickLoffree]

Yes coming this week! 😊

[@sarahsapphire511]

Hi I've been getting back into doing qi gong again really the last month I've been doing that or yoga daily. I tried this video today and it was very relaxing but afterwards I started feeling sick and really really shaky like my whole body shook like crazy. Could this be a detox type of reaction? I've definitely been dealing with a lot of anxiety and health issues the last couple of months so maybe it's just my body getting rid of the bad energy? Just wondering what your thoughts were. I love your videos and have done a bunch of them but have never had that sort of reaction

[@TheNickLoffree]

Could be one of those “healing reactions” for sure. Could also be low blood sugar, which can cause nausea and shakiness. I usually try to practice with a bit of juice or something in my system to avoid this kinda thing. I could see the deep horse stance in this practice depleting blood sugar quicker than most 🤔

[@sarahsapphire511]

@@TheNickLoffree thank you so much for replying back. Yeah I did that without eating anything beforehand so next time I'll make sure to have a little something some fruit or something light at least beforehand or like some juice beforehand and see how I feel. Right after I drank a bunch of water and ate a little something and after about 40 minutes thankfully the shaking stopped. It was a really great video. I'm hoping it was a healing reaction and just I'm so filled with stress it just made my body feel weird after because of so much built up stress over the years

[@LiaPainting.]

Love this practice. But i need to stop drink 🍺 will i practice. I think it's blocking my chi 🤣
