The ba duan jin qigong exercise, which doesn't require much space or time, uses special breathing and concentration techniques to improve both the body and mind, with eight well-designed sequences of movement.

To cater to the needs and tastes of young learners, the authors of Ba Duan Jin Exercise for Children have made certain changes to the traditional version of the century-old qigong exercise. They offered simplified instructions as well as information on the health benefits of performing the exercise, historical background, anecdotes and rhymes, coupled with color photos for each movement of the stances in ba duan jin.

By scanning QR codes in the pages, the readers can watch video clips which explain the key technical requirements for every move of the traditional fitness exercise.
