Qigong Box Set (2 DVD's, Qigong Basics & Qigong Flow) with Mimi Kuo-Deemer

These films were shot in pleasant outdoor settings. This seemed very appropriate for a practice intended to help us align with the natural world and it also makes them nicer to watch than sessions filmed in a gym. The 'forms' were shown from several different camera angles which made it easy to see exactly what Mimi was doing, and Mimi often 'mirrored' the movement to help those following along at home. The explanations of the intention behind each form were detailed and enthusiastic. The sound track was peaceful and un-obtrusive. I've also found it very pleasant to turn off the sound track and just follow along with these graceful movements silently. Whether you are just looking for a gentle way to get your body moving after a sedentary day in lockdown, or whether you aspire to a deeper level of harmony with the natural world, I'm sure you will find these DVDs helpful.

I am a yoga teacher and had the honour to train with Mimi on a course to integrate Qigong into both your own yoga practice and within Classes that you teach to your students. Discovering Qigong and wonders it creates in mind and body have been the intertwining energy to give meaning everything I do.I have watched the first DVD and already feel compelled to recommend that if you have an interest or practice of Qigong this DVD is a true joy to use in the comfort of your front room. Mimi’s clear concise instructions and gentle voice teamed with the beautiful flow through the 5 elements really are wonderous fluidity of practice. Mimi is intriguing watch and listen to as she weaves information about what is happening in the body and how all of this can be carried through into our daily routine. I just can’t recommend this DVD enough. I shall review the second as soon as I have practiced it.

Terrific but all you really need is the 8 stands of brocade and the 18 forms on disc 2, so it's quite pricey. But you do get full explanations of the medical properties of each move, their relation to each other, the 5 elements categories - and even the names of the moves in Chinese! - for those who are interested. Mimi presents the moves as more of a flowing sequence as in Tai Chi, without the more often usual Qi Gong emphasis on holding each pose for a long duration. Mimi is a very good presenter and it's all at the right pace for you to follow her.

I bought this to learn Qi Gong while my family was away and I had some time to myself. I spent every morning learning this technique and I use it most days still. It's beautifully taught and the sound track is well produced providing a good quality sound. It is shot in wonderful English countryside locations, that put ones mind in a peaceful and mediative state. Highly recommended, I cannot fault it at all.

Delivery excellent2 Disc box set not as expectedReceived two discs labelled Qigong Basics, one should have been for Qigong Flow

Saw me over lockdown and I was inspired to read her books and follow her on YouTube. The CD format is very handy, I always take the discs to our holiday place in Cyprus.

In these two DVD’s Mimi Kuo-Deemer offers a good variety of active Qigong forms. The physical movements are described in great detail and easy to follow. But what makes this video special is Mimi’s explorations into the energetic and healing aspects of the forms. In beautiful, non-dogmatic and crystal-clear ways the ideas behind the practice are explained. We are invited to really feel the movements and experience the effects it has on our bodies and minds. If you want to do some Qigong these DVD’s offer a good starting point, but they are also a great way to deepen your knowledge and learn more about the many different levels of the practice.

This box set is exactly what I needed.A wonderful resource for cultivating a home practice in Qi gong. Mimi begins by setting up and explaining the basic structure and movements of each form, then continues on to seamlessly integrate beautiful imagery and context as you progress and feel more at ease with the practice. Just like going to her classes but in the comfort of your own home.So far I have only practiced the basics dvd, can't wait to practice along to the flow dvd tomorrow. The five elements forms and mudras are incredibly grounding and nourishing. Thank you ^_^

These seemingly boring exercises have a profound effect on my awareness of the body, energy flow and sense of emotional tones stuck in the guts. Who would have thought?If Bruce Lee had a female counterpart, this would be it. She is a tough player, one can see immediately. So I sweat and shake and have waves of heat bursting.The pace, however, is way too slow for me to follow the breathing pattern. I just run out of air and then get heart rate crazy. So I play in 1.5x pace and that works great.Mimi never gets quiet, just keeps talking, which can be tiresome. So, I listen a few times and follow along with the video, then mute her. I try to learn the movements as fast as possible to be completely independent.I would perhaps appreciate more the nitty gritty, the explanations of why this movement you do that way, or how to do it, what to pay attention to. But I guess this is not for the DVD of one hour and 25$. This would be for full day workshop.All in all, solid product. Worth the monies.If you want more action, go to a dance class. This is energy art, internal action.Enjoy!

Excellent DVD set. Mimi is a wonderful and positive teacher. I would definitely order her other boxed set if we could still get it in Canada.

Eccellente box per chi comincia la pratica del qui gong. Mimi Kuo Deemer l'ho conosciuta attraverso il suo canale You Tube ed è una insegnante fanstastica. La voce di Mimi è molto dolce e accompagna le sequenze spiegando ogni movimento in modo puntuale. Il suo inglese è molto comprensibile. Non ci sono sottotitoli. Consiglio anche l'altro 3 DVD Box Set Qui Gong for Health & Wellness e il suo dvd di yoga/quigong. Per chi vuole avvicinarsi alla pratica di questa disciplina è un ottimo punto di partenza. Segnalo anche la pagina Facebook di Mimi, ricca di consigli e video gratuiti. Grazie Mimi per la tua ispirazione.

Ich habe schon lange nach einer authentischen Qi Gong DVD gesucht. Hier bekommt man zwei DVDs.Auf der ersten sind die Fünf Elemente, die, nach einem ausführlichen Programm zum aufwärmen, langsam und mit guten Erklärungen vorgeturnt werden. Danach kommt noch einmal eine Art Meditation, also noch langsamere Bewegungen zu jedem Element. Immer wird der Atem mit einbezogen und die Vorturnerin hat eine nette Stimme. Es macht Spaß, die Anweisungen zu befolgen und den Erklärungen zu lauschen. Es gibt viele Wiederholungen und alles passiert ganz langsam, damit man es auch begreift. Einfach super.Aber man bekommt noch mehr für das Geld. Auf der zweiten DVD sind sogenannten Acht Brokate und die Achtzehn Formen. Hier finde ich, dass es besonders bei den achtzehn Formen mehr Wiederholungen hätte geben können. Trotzdem bekommt man viel für sein Geld und ich bin glücklich, es gekauft zu haben.

Muy buen dvd para practicar la disciplina
