DVD Reviews of Qi Gong Fire & Water With Matthew Cohen
DVD Review: Qi Gong Fire & Water delivers on the elements
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this DVD. It consists of two fantastic and powerful practices. As the title suggests, the Fire practice is more vigorous and energizing and the Water more calming and relaxing. Each set begins with rooting/centering, then a bunch of movement exercises, followed by a few static standing postures, and closes with a seated meditation. The Fire practice in particular is incredibly grounding and it's easy to work up a mild sweat even though the moves are performed very slowly. I just have one major criticism which is that a few of the standing postures are not explained very well. The "dragon stance" in particular is a bit complex and the instructors adopt it very quickly with little instruction to guide you into it initially. It's also a very demanding posture and although a strong beginner could do it, it's definitely not for those who are out-of-shape or weak. This is also true of a couple other postures in the Fire section, mainly because the stances are low and wide (called "horse stance"). I don't mean that as a criticism so much as a disclaimer. But if you can manage them, your legs will get a great workout (and you can always start out by holding a higher stance at first). The Water practice is suitable for about anyone though. One of the things I like about the DVD is that the moves are performed very slowly (even for typical Qigong), which makes it easy to follow and very relaxing. Also, as someone else noted, the sequencing of moves is really nice and makes a lot of sense. Production-wise, the DVD is top-notch, the setting stunning, and the voice-over instruction by Cohen clear and helpful. And the music is quite good (a tribal/new age/eastern-sounding mix) though I wish there was an option to turn it off because I find it distracting at times (you can turn off the narration though). All in all, this is some of the most effective and enjoyable Qigong I've learned so far. I use these practices almost every day right now.
