Build Yang energy in a calm and gentle way. Exercises are done in a very slow manner and with focused intention. Simple movements when done slowly have a stronger effect.

The light mist made it a magical place! **Note - if you prefer a "spacious" version of this routine (minimal cues and mostly silent) you can find it here: https://qigongforvitality.vhx.tv/videos/gentle-yang-qigong-spacious-version-18-mins
