Review on the Qigong Workshop with Tina Faulkner 2025

Once more we travelled to a workshop weekend at Nils Klug’s TaiChi-Forum, where Tina Faulkner arrived from Aberdeen to teach Shi Jingluo Donggong by Professor Zhang Guangde. This form is a yangsheng qigong form to support or start the opening and activating of all meridians depending on one’s state when starting the exercise. Because of the hot weather have the exercises been even with – quite necessary – explanatory breaks physically quite demanding, but very quickly one could experience their effectiveness.

As usual Tina taught very precisely and humorously and created thus a relaxed, but also very concentrated atmosphere in the dojo, which very much helped the learning process as well as the cycling down after a quite long and intense working week and a jam-packed trip to get to Hanover.

Nils’ hosting of the workshop was also as hearty and professional as always and we were very happy meeting again after too long a time. We are looking forward to what will bring us to Hanover-Linden the next time into one of the most agreeable dojos we know. In any case we hope that the plan to make Tina’s workshops at least an annual event can be realized.

The Baduanjin is one of the oldest and most common forms of Daoyin Qigong. Its endurance and popularity are a testament to how effective these ancient movements are at preserving health of both mind and body.
