Qi Gong exercises
explained
Exercise description
Starting position is a slightly wider stance than the basic position specifies. This brings more stability and prevents you from tipping over sideways. With the exhale, let your upper body sink down in front. With the next inhale, now begin to bring your torso up over your left side until both arms are above your head.
Now begin to exhale and let yourself sink down over the right side of your body until your upper body hangs down in front again. Repeat this movement several times. Then stop the movement at the position where your body hangs down in front.
Now do the same movement to the other side. So come up with the inhale over the right side. And with the exhale, come down over the left side.
Frequently asked questions
I can't bend down that far?
Do the exercise as best you can and go down only as far as you can easily. In your mind, however, you should do the exercise as if you were getting to your feet.
Can I do the exercise even with disc problems?
Please do not do this exercise if you have problems with your intervertebral discs. Such problems always belong in the hands of an experienced doctor or therapist. He can then decide together with the patient if an exercise like this is appropriate at the moment. What you can do, however, is to do the exercise in an upright position. Just rolling down, it's not done. You just visualize yourself doing the roll down. The upward movement of the hands can then be done again without any problems.
Pro tip from Wolfgang
In this exercise, imagine how the breath flows into you and then fills you from the inside until the upper body begins to straighten over the side. So it is the breath that gives you the power to straighten up, not a muscular tension.

Most common errors
Breathing is not synchronized with the movement, because the movement needs a relatively "long breath". Make sure that your breath is not finished until the movement has also reached the top or bottom.
Training tips
If possible, train again and again in front of a mirror or record yourself with your smartphone and then study this video for mistakes.
