“…thousands of illnesses vanish into dust.” –  the last line of the Eight Pieces of Brocade poem.Also known as “Ba Duan Jin,” The practice was developed by General Yue Fei about 1000 years ago in China. It was originally created to help warriors become stronger and heal for battle, but soldiers soon realised that it was effective far beyond the battlefield.

The practice contains eight separate movements (or pieces) that practitioners use to work with various energies and meridians. It can be completed in 15 minutes.
