Yang Sheng Gong includes a series of physical exercises designed to soften the body, develop functional flexibility and promote general health by increasing the power of the immune system, strengthening connective tissue, tendons and joints and increasing the flow of Qi, blood and subtle fluids. Lung resiliency develops through breath exercises (Tu Gu Na Xin). Standing meditation postures help cultivate internal energy and regulation of the mind and consciousness by uniting movement and stillness. Yang Sheng Gong reduces stress, tension and anxiety, celebrates breath, opens brachial pathways, clears stagnation, expels toxins, develops balance and coordination, oxygenates the muscles, promotes healthy organ function and regulates the nervous system.
