About This Course
Course Introduction
Xiu'an Dadao Movement and Breathing Practice is taught by Xiu'an. Its materials organize the content into moving, still, seated, and lying-down practices, including Paishan Daohai, breathing exercises, the seven Yijin movements, and other course movements. The first aim is to understand how these units relate and the order in which they are taught, then ask about suitable practice arrangements based on your own foundation.
Moving and still practices introduce movement, breathing, and course pace, while seated and lying practices offer study in different positions. The materials also include a three-day in-person schedule, connecting modules with demonstration sequences to create a review outline. Practice should be professionally guided according to individual physical circumstances and does not replace medical assessment.
