Coiling Silk Qigong: 5-part 'Stretch Out Over the Far Leg' Technique

Coiling Silk (chánsī 纏絲; sometimes called "Silk Coiling" or "Silk Reeling") is a training practice associated with Chen-style taijiquan (tàijíquān 太极拳) (i.e., “t’ai chi”) that involves moving the arms and rotating and shifting various parts of the body in coordinated ways to produce specific kinds of more-or-less circular patterns of movement.

In this video, I am playing around with a Coiling Silk practice that I learned from one of my main teachers, Ken Cohen.

All mistakes and misguided wanderings are my own.
