DVD Reviews of The Spirit of Qi Gong- Chinese Exercises for Longevity

DVD Review: Too fast for me!
Summary: 3 Stars

This got lovely reviews and I want to learn Qi Gong. I thought because Deborah included info for women of different ages, it would be right for me however, I am 72 years old and have had two joint replacements. This makes it impossible for me to do being that my range of motion is not adequate to the exercises in this book/video combo and the movements are much too fast. I think I need something slowly done and meditative.
Thank you.

DVD Review: good companion to her book
Summary: 5 Stars

I won't add more to the already positive reviews. I bought this as a companion to her book "Women's Qi Gong for Health and Longevity" and am very pleased with both. If you like to be shown how to do something rather than reading about it and figuring it out from there, this is a helpful addition to the book.

DVD Review: Wonderful Qi Gong
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this DVD because it is beautifully made, easy to follow and I never tire of it. The movements are clearly shown and explained and the grouping of the elements is elegantly supported by the scenery in the background and by the music.

But best of all are the results I have had from doing the Qi Gong: I noticed I slept better after the very first time I did the exercises, and after the first week I noticed increased flexibility and I had more energy. My ability to deal with stress has also increased and I feel generally happier and my moods are more even.

DVD Review: Opens doors to health
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent source of learning and practicing a very healthy exercise/moving meditation.

Walk through the various movements to energize your body, mind, and mood. Do just one a day and see what a difference it will make. Somedays you will feel like doing more than one or even all of the exercises.

I have been practicing over eight years. These exercises have made a fantastic impact on my health. Now as I teach Seniors, I share some of these movements with them to improve their health. They have a great time learning these things and are so proud of themselves when they see the results.

Try it - you'll like it.

DVD Review: Not even close to Terry Dunn
Summary: 2 Stars

This DVD was really a disappointment. I'll try to hit all the fronts here:

1) The editing of the scenes is bad; you are told to do something first on way and then in the reverse, but the video shows the instructor first doing it one way then... in the next cut, doing it the other way, and transitioning to the way you were supposed to have already been doing it. Hard to follow.

2) Each section seems to end with movements and positions that are never named, described, nor explained. I still wonder what they were for...

3) The instructions are frequently incomplete. How should your hands be? Where are your feet? What is the focus? What is your weight distribution? You are left to guess.

4) The demonstrations often don't match the instruction. She indicates that you should breath at one time or another, but then doesn't do it that way herself, or in some sections doesn't provide instruction on breathing at all.

5) Her "co instructors" do it differently than she says to. Ugh.

If you want more precise instruction, see other videos like Terry Dunn's Chi Kung For Health ( Qi Gong ) - Five Standing Meditations to know that you should have your toes pointed in or out, that your palms should be pointing down, and that your breathing should be rhythmic and slow.

This video (and instructor) are a pass.
