Qi Gong for Spinal Healing

In this course, renowned Tai Chi and internal arts teacher Adam Mizner shares a set of traditional Qi Gong exercises for the spine — a practical routine aimed at mobility, decompression, posture, and long-term resilience, drawn from decades of experience in the internal arts.

The methods carry particular weight because of their origin. After a serious spinal injury that doctors believed would end his training, Adam used these very exercises as part of restoring his own spine, and has since taught them to students around the world. The course brings that same routine into a form anyone can follow.

Across six pre-recorded lessons — approximately ninety minutes in total — Adam begins with the fundamental principles behind spinal health in Qi Gong, then guides the practitioner step by step through the exercises themselves, among them Separating Heaven and Earth, the Bull Stretch, the Bike Chain, the Pagoda, and the Fourth Song Gong. The aim throughout is to open and decompress the spine, improve posture and alignment, release chronic tension, and build lasting mobility and strength.

The routine suits complete beginners and experienced internal artists alike, and integrates easily into a daily practice.
