{"product_id":"jiangan-the-chinese-health-wand","title":"JIANGAN THE CHINESE HEALTH WAND","description":"\u003cp\u003eLong before Tai Chi and Qigong became household names in the West, an American sailor visiting Shanghai discovered a gentle Chinese exercise called Jiangan - The Chinese Health Wand. This exercise system is simple yet potent and involves the manipulation of a lightweight pole traditionally made of bamboo. Jiangan co-ordinates slow diaphragmatic breathing with graduated stretching and strengthening exercises to promote circulation and stimulate the cardiovascular system. This book offers a concise practical guide to Jiangan exercises, providing detailed instructions and illustrations while also exploring the Chinese philosophy behind the art. Although a gentle and meditative form of exercise, the book shows that Jiangan has the muscle-toning and weight-loss potential of more robust gym workouts and is an ideal daily exercise routine or warm-up for a range of sports and martial arts classes. This book will be a valuable resource for teachers and students of Tai Chi and Qigong, as well as anyone looking for a simple and effective way to improve health and fitness using Eastern health arts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Singing Dragon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45882432716998,"sku":"DADAX1848190778","price":45.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/61JuqX1so6L.jpg?v=1779772194","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/jiangan-the-chinese-health-wand","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
