A different kind of break
Baduanjin is a set of eight slow, flowing movements coordinated with breathing. It has been practised for centuries and is gentle enough to do in work clothes, in a small space.
This is a movement and stretching routine. It is not medical treatment.

Meet Old Pine and Brother Stone
Old Pine leads our slow, refined forms: about 72, a silver beard, undyed linen. He never speaks; he simply moves, one clean movement at a time. "Slow is the lesson."
His senior disciple, Brother Stone, spent years at a desk getting nearly everything wrong, so he guides the beginner and desk-friendly versions and shows the common mistakes.
