Wild Goose Qigong 1st 64 | 前六十四式

Around 1,800 years ago, the Daoist originators of Kunlun Dayan Qigong, devised their style from the movements and qualities of the highly revered Da Yan / Wild Goose (thought to be the Bar Headed Goose). Designed into these movements were also the principles of Yì jīng 易經 the Bāguà 八卦, Jīngluò 經絡 and ancient Chinese medicine theory. Hence, a 128-movement form was created. The 27th Generation Grand Master Yang Mei June, taught the form in two halves, to make it easier to learn.

The Wild Goose Qigong 1st 64 (also known as ‘Front 64’) is part of the Foundational Dong Gong / dynamic exercises within the system. Based upon the Later-Heaven Bagua, it consists of 64 flowing movements and works on postnatal Qi issues. It is, in itself, a very comprehensive gong, suitable for everyone. Performed here by Gregg Wagstaff, Senior Instructor for the Da Yan Qigong Association (UK)™ and Creator of Da Yan Academy.
