Tao Yin & Qigong For A Pain Free Body | Taoist Yoga & Chi Kung | Joint Pain, Arthritis, Chronic Pain

Tao Yin (or Daoyin) stretching is an efficient way to clear pain from the body. Low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, joint pain, hip pain, etc can all be helped through this gentle method of opening and releasing tension from the body. We end this program with a relaxing Qigong flow to help calm the mind and release our bodies' endogenous pain killers.
Daoyin is essentially Taoist Yoga, and is the branch Qi Gong that focuses more on the opening and stretching of the body, rather than the relaxing and softening.

There is something about the "fish movement" that I find so soothing. I love this routine and do it every morning - I so appreciate this Nick.

[@huffyoga]

Super. I used to play a video of yours in my prison classes. Then we'd meditate.

[@therapeutictemplemusing]

Hi Nick, I just discovered your site a week or two ago, I am a yoga teacher and looking for more diverse practices. I loved the yoga fusion in this one. When you don't call it revolved triangle it is so much easier! Your settings in nature, your voice and energy are so grounding and healing. I am so glad you found your way as a healer, it is clearly your dharma.

[@TheNickLoffree]

Thank you!

[@amybernard4638]

I honestly feel like crying! I'm so thankful I found you. Thank you, thank you! See you tomorrow... starting the 30 day challenge.

[@alyssadavis339]

I’ve been doing qi gong 1-2x a day for over a month. The last 3 days I’ve been busy and unable to make it a part of my day and wow, I almost immediately feel the difference in my body. The days I haven’t done qi gong I feel stiff, loss of mobility, and just less peace and tranquillity. I’m a believer!

[@TheNickLoffree]

Love this!

[@apleebee2]

I subscribed specifically because of the W-Chi-40. And I love Doa Yin.

[@evidhazelbower1527]

Hi Nick --- Well, I am so spoiled for choice . Between Patreon and your huge library here on KZbin , I can't quite keep up. I haven't done this session for a little while and tonight I have treated myself and did it twice . What a blessing ! Thank you so very much, for the gifts that you share with the world. Be well. Thank you thank you.

[@grahamwoodworth7676]

Thank you Nick. Awesome exercise and awesome locations

[@desertrose8982]

Thank you Nick, it’s amazing, I’m going through some life challenges at the moment which causes me to have anxiety and the exercises help me tremendously, after the session I feel relaxed and strong, thank you again and God bless you.

[@weepingwillowyoga183]

The fact you said W-Qi-40 made me laugh!

Achey everywhere today and so loved this session which I did after after the brain session, and so benefitted from both. Thank you so much Nick. Great videos 🙂. I'll be back tomorrow for more !

[@ripplesofinsight]

I come back to this one again and again. Such a restorative workout after a week of pickleball activity has beaten my body up. 💚

[@TheNickLoffree]

Great to hear!

[@evidhazelbower1527]

This is a wonderful practice. After doing Stoic Sunrise and a few more postings I was about to stop when I discovered this. I am floating. Glad you kept some Canadian winter clothing?? Thank you so very much, Nick.

Haha awesome, double up! I actually didn't bring any of my winter gear when I moved to california, so these were some thrift store finds in Idaho :P

[@kroyal4296]

I enjoyed this, I would like to do more of your videos and integrate it in my daily routine, is there an order you would recommend. I am familiar with yoga. Your videos look like a mixture of Qigong and yoga.

[@lynngreenaway956]

Thank you so much for this. I am in so much pain but was able to do all the movements. I could feel the muscles and joints reacting to the movements, that in itself let me know I'll have more movement in the joints. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Best regards from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@TheNickLoffree]

I really hope it helps! I have some others for pain you might benefit from too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bl7Ugn1-dsZ2brM kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpy5c314gtOlgKM

Fantastic, welcome! Never too late. The videos stay up forever! I grew up in Toronto btw. Been in Cali 7ish years - finally starting to miss snow! It's a luxury here, people pay big bucks to see it in Tahoe haha

This is going to my go to warm up and daily routine to my karate and BJJ from now on...thank you. I love the stretch and flow and you can't beat 20 minutes out of your day for a better body. Mine is so broken right now. I found your channel through martial arts of the world featuring Daoist Yoga.

Love this and where are you located and where is this pretty piece of earth located?

[@TheNickLoffree]

I live in Santa Cruz, California (Silicon Valley's surf town), but this was filmed at Stanley Lake next to the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho. I was lucky to get there in the fall when it was still warm enough to do Qigong, but cold enough that the tourists had all left. Stanley is actually the coldest place in the continental United States, so a week or two later would have been freezing! Cold but beautiful :D

[@mause1947]

@@TheNickLoffree How interesting-thanks for telling me about this.

[@lifeishealinghealthwellnes1979]

Hi Nick, Question? Is the background scenery where you are standing real, or computer generated (deep fake) using video editing? If so, which program do you used. It's a great effect for a video

[@TheNickLoffree]

It is real! 😊

There is no Tao Yin here.. if you mix yoga with qigong it doesn't become Tao Yin.
