  • Goulin workshop students practising in the park
     
    Gou-lin Chi Kung is made up of a series of movements, performed with walking

    Walking Chi Kung (known in China as Gou-Lin Qi Gong) will produce a large amount of vital chi inside the practitioner's body after a long period of practice. It can help regulate the excesses and deficiencies of human organs and stimulate the circulation of the internal breathing current.

    In China this Chi Kung is used clinically in the prevention and treatment of cancer, tumors, high and low blood pressure and is effective in reducing stress. It is also fun to do!
