Truly inspiring DVD
Date: March 9, 2010
"Qigong Beginning Practice is an excellent investment in all aspects of health. I originally purchased the DVD for breathing and stress relief, but, surprisingly, it has also helped heal an old arm injury. The video is totally relaxing and at the same time a good work out. Each move is beautifully demonstrated and easy to follow. I have enjoyed the DVD so much that I have purchased several copies to give as gifts to friends ."

qigong Beginning Practice

"This is a great review of basic practices, plus more detail than I have ever had in classes. It is easy to follow the teachers, clarity both in verbal instructions and the video. It is good for beginners and rehab."

Great DVD!
Date: February 13, 2010
"David Garripoli does a great job narrating this DVD, and the instruction is detailed and excellent. I especially like the fact that each movement is shown with the name first, then instruction and demonstration. The only thing that might make it better is an index for each movement on the DVD so one could search for it. I have used it to learn the movements so I could practice them without the DVD and that would have been useful. The accompanying documentary is exceptional."

Wonderful DVD!
Date: February 12, 2010
"This has been wonderful for me. I struggle to quiet my mind with regular meditation, but this "moving meditation" has been perfect. As I focus on coordinating the movements and breathing, I am totally in the moment. Twenty minutes seem to pass by in just one! As I practice regularly, I am watching my health issues fade away."

I love this!
Date: January 21, 2010
"The Garripolis do a wonderful job of explaining and demonstrating the moves. I find them both to be very inspirational. The music is very relaxing and helps me to get the breathing techniques down. The lovely mountain location adds to the serenity. I think this is great choice for anyone interested in QiGong or this type of exercise."

Wise Buy
Date: November 30, 2009
"This was my first experience seeing and doing QiGong. It is very easy to follow. The instructors explain how to do it and why. I start my day with it to begin my focus in the right place and feel a bit energized. Because my day is so busy, I forget to take time to breathe. The hand movements that I have learned in the cd are, at times, repeated in my work day and it snaps me back to a focus and breath. Originally, I did this in the evening and realized that I felt so good, I had a hard time getting to sleep. The documentary cd is invaluable. Great information on this practice. I just purchased two for gifts."

excellent dvd - heal yourself!!!
Date: September 30, 2009
"I love this DVD. I'm a healer/bodyworker, and am always looking for ways for my clients to empower themselves and move beyond what our sessions facilitate. Qigong is remarkable work - in all its various forms. In particular I loved the way this DVD offers so much information (and the breath is actually clearly explained), and I love that this style of Qigong is easy enough that even my most physically challenged clients can do most of the work and begin to cultivate their own ability to heal self. I'm buying copies for all my clients as gifts...and the half dozen people with whom I've done this DVD LOVE it! Additionally, I've realized that this is the work I need to do to keep my body healthy and my well as a healer full - which has been a wonderful and profound awakening."

mixed feelings
Date: September 25, 2009
"Parts of this dvd are really well done, with clear instruction and video following, while others move too quickly, don't explain where to breathe with movement, and the verbal instruction is not followed by the cameras lens. Hand movements can be important during certain series of movements, and the camera zooms in to the chest or face, missing hands completely. I found that frustrating. Thankfully, I rented the dvd before committing to the purchase - will I buy it? no."

Please be aware that even if you had purchased this video you wouldn't have been forced to keep it after finding that it wasn't your cup of tea. All of our DVD's are returnable even after viewing.
