Ba Duan Jin (English-Chinese Edition): The Eight-Section Brocade – Body, Breath & Mind in Three Stages

Ba Duan Jin (English-Chinese Edition): The Eight-Section Brocade – Body, Breath & Mind in Three Stages

From “Holding Both Hands High to Regulate the Triple Energizer” to “Raising and Lowering the Heels Seven Times” — Each Routine Explained Step by Step, with Breathing and Mental Training Built In, for Chronic Disease Prevention & Rehabilitation
This is not a picture book of poses you copy without thinking, and it is not a medical textbook about exercise physiology. It is a bilingual practice manual that teaches Ba Duan Jin in the order the tradition actually intended: first you learn the body movements, then you match them with breathing, and then you add the mental training—so the three layers build on each other instead of being thrown at you all at once. Each of the eight routines is broken down step by step, with clear English that explains not just where to put your hands, but when to inhale, when to exhale, and what to pay attention to inside. The author, Wei Yulong, has practiced these methods for thirty-five years and teaches at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. The book is designed for chronic disease prevention and rehabilitation—back pain, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke recovery—but it works for anyone who wants to practice properly rather than just follow along. If you want to learn Ba Duan Jin as a complete system, in English and Chinese—rather than watch a video and guess at the breathing—this is it.

Detail

What is this book?

Baduanjin (Eight-Section Brocade) is a traditional Chinese health practice with nearly a thousand years of history. It consists of eight simple, gentle movements — often called the "thousand-year longevity exercise." No equipment, no special space needed. Just 10 minutes a day to move your whole body, regulate your breathing, and relax your mind.

What can it do for you?

  • Improve physical condition: Eight movements systematically engage your neck, shoulders, waist, and legs — relieving stiffness and soreness from prolonged sitting.

  • Reduce stress: Coordinated breathing helps calm the nervous system, improve sleep, and sharpen focus.

  • Gentle and safe: Low-impact, moderate-intensity movements suitable for all ages. Easy on knees and joints.

  • Bilingual, easy to follow: Chinese-English side-by-side format. Every movement comes with clear illustrations and instructions. No Chinese language background required.

Who is this book for?

  • International readers looking for a gentle, low-impact exercise routine

  • Office workers dealing with neck, shoulder, and back fatigue from sitting all day

  • Anyone curious about traditional Chinese wellness culture who wants to practice it firsthand

  • People seeking natural ways to reduce stress, sleep better, and boost energy

How this book is organized

Part of the "Life Empowerment: Chinese Wellness Practices Bilingual Series," this book begins with the foundational body-adjustment techniques of Baduanjin, then walks you through each movement's key points, breathing coordination, and precautions-. Bilingual layout — Chinese on one side, English on the other — makes it easy to follow along while you practice.
