Filmed by the ocean, these beginner-friendly exercises can be practiced by anyone, with no experience necessary. This invigorating qigong style is moderately-paced with simple arm and leg movements that are accessible to people of all ages and abilities. Unlike most qigong that requires a lot of concentration, this routine is so easy that you can practice it without serious concentration, even while talking with friends or watching television. This modern form is known for its healing benefits. In this video lesson, you’ll receive clear instruction by qigong master Lisa O’Shea as she guides you through two 15-minute “follow-along” forms known as Fragrance Qigong. Learning these ancient movements will maintain and increase your Qi energy flow, enliven your entire body, and heighten your senses. The system was developed by a monk during the Tang Dynasty and is also known as "Fragrant Enlightenment Qigong" due to a unique aspect of the practice where practitioners sometimes experience fragrant scents, which signifies healing energy flow. The practice was kept private for centuries until it was made public by Grand Master Tian, Rui-sheng in 1988. You will experience positive changes in your health simply by following along with either of the 15-minute routines daily, or even just a few times a week. Rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit Can be done sitting or standing Especially good for the shoulders, arms, and wrists Includes two simple 15-minute follow-along workouts Mirror-view movements for easy practice Harvard Health recommends a minimum of 15-minutes exercise per day to prevent many common ailments. DVD plays worldwide (all regions, region 0) NTSC. 60 minutes. Review: BEST Beginner Qigong Instruction - The instructor, Lisa O'Shea, demonstrates and describes every move in a clear manner. It is very well paced and easy to follow her. She ends the DVD with a description of Qigong which is very helpful. Review: Not the traditional version - This version is not the traditional version which can be found on youtube being performed by the daughters of Tian Ruisheng who first taught it publicly. Unfortunately, the youtuble version is only in Mandarin Chinese. So this dvd is better in the sense of being in English.

Not the traditional version
This version is not the traditional version which can be found on youtube being performed by the daughters of Tian Ruisheng who first taught it publicly. Unfortunately, the youtuble version is only in Mandarin Chinese. So this dvd is better in the sense of being in English.

Helped with my stress
I have a nervous habit of picking my fingers. Nothing has ever worked to stopped this. After doing Qigong , I didn't pick at my fingers once that day.

different version of qi gong. fast but fun.

Not Authentic
Teaches Fragrant Chi Kung (xiang gong) the wrong way. Watch Youtube videos (in mandarin) instead for the correct movements. You can also google fragrant chi kung and download pdfs of the correct movements.

Excellent DVD
As all YMAA titles, this is one is pretty faultless. Great routines - 2 of them, just the right amount of explanation, nice set-up, nice audio (nothing overwhelming). Just buy it.

Relaxing and easy to learn qi gong
I was requested to review this DVD along with "Lee Holden's Qi Gong 30 Day Challenge" (please see my separate review on Amazon). I am not compensated for any of my reviews. I am a long time student of Chinese martial arts and cultivation exercises, and am honored to perform this task. Ms. O'Shea was easy to follow and the presentation of Fragrance Qi Gong was detailed, informative and fun to do. This is an excellent DVD for beginners and is composed of both the beginner form and the intermediate form. I hope they release an advanced version soon. Unlike Tai Chi, Qi Gong is usually taught as a "static" exercise either standing or seated. There is no need to learn steps or the movement of forms. Your exercise is more yoga-like in that you are assuming postures and performing limited motions from that posture. I was very pleased with this DVD and highly recommend it to others.

New, Easy Qigong for Beginners DVD
YMAA sent me a review copy of their new DVD program by Lisa B. O’Shea, “Qigong for Beginners: Simple Exercises to Energize Your Whole Body.” The program is very simple to follow, leading you through a beginner set that emphasizes the shoulders, arms and hands; and an intermediate set that builds skill by incorporating lower-body movements that resemble relaxed, easy dance with hip, waist and knee moves. The setting here is the beautiful Cape Cod seaside. Lisa makes the routines simple to follow by performing mirror image motions. Anyone interested in engaging in the Chinese art of qigong without memorizing complex forms or spending time and money to travel to a teacher would do well to pick up this program.

OMG! I LOVE THE FRAGRANT QIGONG.....and the beautiful view of the ocean....
Amazing workout because it doesn't feel like you are working out but after I finished, I was so relaxed and I felt different in a good way. Like the teacher a lot! The OUTSIDE LOCATION is amazing.....I would alway choose and buy OUTSIDE workouts before I buy inside workouts.
