What are Chinese Movements
The “7 Chinese Movements” are inspired by traditional Chinese exercises that focus on releasing tension, improving flexibility, and boosting lymphatic flow throughout the body. While not a standardised set, these movements are often drawn from practices like Qigong, Tai Chi, and other therapeutic Chinese exercises, which have been used for centuries to enhance physical and mental well-being.
