Course Overview
Rotational movements involve the jingjin (channel sinews) of the jueyin channels. Engaging these channels mobilizes the pelvis, moves the diaphragm and lower ribcage, and allows full movement of the shoulder girdle. This class explores the biomechanics of rotation, emphasizing a full range of motion throughout the torso. Several rotational qigong patterns are taught, with the goal of improving function and health in the spine, ribcage, and pelvic and shoulder girdle. We highlight the relevant jingjin anatomy and functional movement patterns, and address health applications. These qigong exercises can be practiced for one’s own health but are also excellent for use in a clinical setting for treating patients.
