Yoga & Qigong

Two of the oldest civilizations in the world are in Asia - China and India. Both are the most populous countries and have brought to the modern world its art of living well through its distinct traditional medicinal practices and the importance of a balanced well-being. India has its ayurvedic medicinal practices utilizing Indian Herbs and massage. China has its Chinese Herbs and acupuncture/acupressure methods in creating the balance health.
In exercise, India has yoga, China has Qigong each so different yet shares lots of commonality. Somehow the masters who originated these teachings found the same source of the human inner energy Qi although each may not know the other had existed. There are many branches of yoga as there are branches of qigong.
I once learned a qigong called ZhenQi Yun Xing literally means Circulation of Real Vital Inner Energy. Qigong essentially focuses on breathing exercise along the meridian that travels from "DanTian" ( in yoga, this is manipura) to the crown; as in the 7 chakras noted in yoga breathing during meditation. And there are also various other qigong practices that promotes active breathing (rapid and deep abdominal breathing ) similar to Kappalbadi in yoga. Combining both yoga and qigong practices is like blending the two best parts of Asia into one.
