In this vlog I talk about the emerging trend of combining qigong with yoga, how people are doing it, and whether it is possible to do it well.

Thank you so much John! I have been very curious about this and now it's more clear! Namaste

I love this
I was just asked to teach a short yoga sequence for my sons high school class, and I want so badly to add some of the Qigong I have learned from you.
Thank you for this. We were calling it qiga!!! Haha

There is a lot of overlap between QiGong and Kundalini yoga. There is a lot of similarities between the moves and the reason for the moves. If you are familiar with QiGong and you take a few kundalini classes you definitely understand what’s going on. But in the end QiGong is QiGong and kundalini is kundalini.

Hi there I’m new to Qigong and one of the practices I do every day is meditating to yoga chants for a specific chakra and allowing my hands and arms to spontaneously move the Qi around me - I’ve found this to work very well in opening and balancing that particular chakra. Should I keep practicing this technique or would you advise against it? I always start with my root and work my way up to the crown if needed over the period of at least a week. I should add that I’ve had no Qigong training but Qi has become very natural to me over the past couple of months

Did anyone get jumped on at the festival?

Dear John, thank you for this video. I have been studying Marisa Cranfill's approach of a standing Qigong practice, followed by long holding Yin style yoga stretches to finish. What are your thoughts on, to use your food analogy, a delicious Qigong meal followed by a Yin Yoga dessert?
