Ba Duan Jin Training 2026
The Ba Duan Jin or Eight Pieces of Brocade is an ancient traditional Chinese Qigong practice designed to bring a silken quality to the body. A piece of brocade found in a 160BCE burial site is said to picture the movements of the 8 Ba Duan Jin.
This is the first time that Master Shen Jin has taught Ba Duan Jin in the UK. The training will take place over two weekends in 2026 and it will focus on activating the lower dantian and the movement of Qi through the meridians. Each exercise has a specific health function and practised together can promote health, vitality and inner calm.
