Stretching is one of the best things we can do for our minds, bodies, and spirits. In this DVD, set in a lovely Japanese garden, host Karen Holden guides viewers through a gentle routine of standing stretches designed to clear tension and increase flexibility. The standing stretches in this DVD complement the seated stretches in Exercise To Heal’s floor stretching program (Exercise To Heal™: Stretching with Karen Holden). Regular stretching relaxes the muscles and ligaments, increases freedom of movement, and improves overall vitality and well-being. Join Karen Holden in this program, and start feeling more flexible and free today.

QiGong (pronounced "chee gong" and alternatively spelled as "qigong," "qi gong," or "chi kung") is sometimes called “the new yoga” - but the practice dates back thousands of years to ancient China.

The word “qi” (or “chi”) means “life force” or "vital energy of the body," and “gong” means accomplishment or skill that is cultivated through steady practice. Qi Gong is specifically designed to cultivate the body's vital energy, using it to heal and strengthen every system throughout the body. Thus, qi gong means “cultivating energy,” and it involves working with energy to strengthen and cleanse the body. Using these Qi Gong DVDs, CDs, and videos will improve your relaxation, reduce pain, and improve your health.
