This yoga alternative is equipment-free, beginner-friendly and all the poses in this flow are done from standing

If you lack the flexibility or balance to do all but the most basic yoga poses, you might find yourself looking for an alternative breath-focused practice. Enter Qigong.

I was introduced to Qigong by Lee Holden, who is the founder of Holden Qi Gong and a master of the art. It is a great alternative to yoga because it is even gentler on the body, and the movements are accessible even to those with limited mobility. Every exercise Holden shared is performed standing, so you won’t have to worry about getting down to the floor and back up again.
