Have you ever heard of Chinese magic? Many foreign friends have been amazed by traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese therapy, and wellness practices. Today, we're chasing the trend and taking a Chinese wellness class Baduanjin, with some foreign friends.

Baduanjin, which originated in the Northern Song Dynasty, is known as the "Thousand-Year Longevity Exercise." It consists of eight simple and easy-to-learn movements. Focused on breathing and body coordination, it helps reduce stress, improve health, and is suitable for people of all ages. It's also great for fragmented time practice, making it perfect for young people managing their health in today's fast-paced life.

Teacher tell us that one of Baduanjin's greatest advantages is its gentleness, making it very joint-friendly. Many movements can help us to relieve neck and shoulder tension, which is particularly beneficial for people who spend long hours looking down at their phones or screens.

After this Baduanjin class, my shoulders feel so much more relaxed! It's light, healthy, and the experience tonight was absolutely fantastic. If you're looking to de-stress, relax, or want to experience traditional Chinese culture, you must need to give Baduanjin a try!
