Ba Duan Jin, also known as the "Eight Pieces of Brocade," is a traditional Chinese wellness practice with over 800 years of history, originating during the Song Dynasty. The name symbolizes the eight elegant, flowing movements likened to precious silk, reflecting their profound health benefits. Guided by traditional Chinese medicine theories such as yin-yang, meridians, and organ systems, Ba Duan Jin embodies the philosophy of preventive care, focusing on health preservation, disease prevention, and rehabilitation. The practice combines slow, continuous movements with relaxation, harmony of body and mind, and coordinated breathing to promote overall well-being.
