Also, can anyone recommend more dynamic Qi Gong with more motion?

There isn't as much repetition from one dvd to the next as I've seen elsewhere (like with Lee). She could have made more money making more dvds if she repeated movements and mixed styles, but I like the authenticity and focus of her set.

For a single dvd I enjoy the diverse mix of 18 movements demonstrated by Shawn Phillips on his Healthy Qigong dvd which is based on Michael Tse's Qigong for Health & Vitality book. I like that both Shirsha and Shawn come from martial arts backgrounds. I think in both cases it shows in the movement sets they've selected, in Shirsha's case specifically for her students initially looking to balance their martial arts training without taking excessive time away from their other training. Both instructors are easy to follow.

As for free Youtube qigong clips, one of my favorites is a set of 14 movements demonstrated by Keiko Murakumo which doesn't include instruction, just music. They're also easy to follow. (Her instructions are in a book she wrote plus her dvds). The full 14 movement set is divided into 4 mini Youtube clips starting at the link below. All 14 movements are meant to be done in one session which is just under 20 mins (maybe 17 mins altogether?). The visuals on Youtube are a bit blurry unfortunately but still easy enough to make out.

My favorite online qigong course is a series of videoclips by John Munro, an instructor in New Zealand who has a good understanding of how energy works. I like his 20 minute Between Heaven and Earth set, along with several others of his.

All qigong in general is meant to get the body more into balance.

Lee Holden fan here: my favorite is Moving Meditation. Just got this a few weeks ago, so have done it only a handful of times, but it leaves me relaxed, calm & centered like nothing else!

I also enjoy the Extended PM routine on 7 Minutes of Magic, Upper Back, Low Back, Deep Sleep & Stress. I don't always do the entire routine; I've found there are usually natural potential stopping points after 10-15 minutes, helpful for when I'm short on time. Not sure if Lee designed them to be used like that, but it works for me.

Three of my more dynamic qigong workouts:

Petra Kolber's Breathe I and Breathe II -- I don't do these very often because the TIFTTing annoys me, but you're definitely always moving!

Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson's Chi Kung: The Healing Workout -- one segment in particular has a cardio effect. A special feature of this DVD is a qigong tutorial--one of the best I've come across.

Francesco and Daisy Lee-Garripoli's Qigong: Beginning Practice. There's an 18-minute all-motion segment involving mostly arms and shoulders and to some extent the core. Love this upper body workout!

Thanks. Can anyone else recommend more dynamic Qi Gong?

I think Scott Cole's pseudo Tai Chi routines probably are the most dynamic.
There was a BodyMix Aero-chi series which were good too but OOP
(VHS are on amazon but I bought the dvd with both routines while it was still in stores)
ETA: Also Nia is a dance and martial arts fusion

Oh, yes--I remember Aero-chi! I once had the DVD Barb mentions. I sold it because the intensity was a little too high for what I wanted from a chi workout, and as I recall it required more floor space than I had at the time. But it might be what you're looking for, Yahoo--if you can find it, and if you have the floor space.

I gave half of my Lee Holden dvds away. The ones I kept I seldom pull out anymore. But they were a great starting point in the old days.

Still not the OP, but I had to thankyou again for posting about John Munro!! (Long white Cloud Qigong). This is starting me on a whole new journey and I am so excited! He has some great courses, and I wrote to him asking which were best for working around my health and surgeries, etc, and he was quick to respond and advise me. Thankyou so much!

Glad to hear it. That's so cool.
