The reputed Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Wang Ji Wu, (1891-1991) created this series of exercises in the 1930s to serve as a front line therapy at his busy clinic in Beijing. Distilled from the centuries old method of xingyi quan the Longevity Exercises artfully combine physical movement with intention to stretch and “polish” all the joints of the body while balancing the energetic system and remaining easy to learn and easy to practice.  We consider this system to be an essential hygiene, like brushing your teeth and washing your hair. When practiced daily, they have been shown to increase vitality, improve strength, coordination and balance. They can also calm the spirit, aid sleep, improve resistance to disease and reduce joint pain.
