The Tao Yin Online Course with Lee Holden

A 30+ Hour Online Course to Help You Cultivate the Flexibility of a Leopard, the Energy of a Child, and the Calm of a Morning Lake

What is the Ancient Healing Practice of Tao Yin?

Tao Yin is a remarkably simple set of exercises, stretches, and breathing techniques.

The practice helps you conserve your own vital life-force energy (Qi), recycle it through your body, and transform toxic or unbalanced energy into pure positive energy.

The goal of Tao Yin?

To help you become pure, responsive, and full of energy (like a child).

Tao Yin helps you harmonize your Qi, develop strength and flexibility through gently stretching the tendons, and releasing toxins through the breath.

Tao Yin has more “flow” than yoga, but more “stretch” than Qi Gong.

A typical Tao Yin exercise involves movement of the arms and body with controlled inhalation and exhalation. Each exercise has a different goal. For example: calming the mind, expanding lung capacity, or restructuring the spine.

Get All the Benefits of Meditation, Yoga, and Qi Gong in One Simple Practice

Maybe you love to meditate or want to meditate more…

…but you can’t sit still for 20 minutes at a time.

Tao Yin is the perfect blend of meditation, movement, and exercise.

As you practice Tao Yin, you get the mind-calming, anxiety-relieving benefits of meditation…

The improved flexibility and strength from yoga…

And the deeply satisfying and profound experience of your life-force energy flowing freely through your body.

Tao Yin is a true “Moving Meditation”.

A Perfect Supplement to Any Existing Practice

Because Tao Yin improves the flow of energy through the meridians (energy pathways) so well…

Shaolin monks used it to warm-up and exercise before martial arts training, Qi Gong, or meditation.

It’s the perfect practice to use before almost any activity, whether it’s passive like meditation or active like martial arts, working out, or even massage and acupuncture.

• Fitness
• Hiking
