The 8 Brocades (Ba Duan Jin) is one of China’s oldest and most widely practiced forms of Qigong. Developed over 1,000 years ago during the Song Dynasty (960–1279 CE), this traditional practice consists of eight gentle, flowing movements designed to cultivate energy (Qi), improve physical vitality, and promote deep relaxation.
