It was created in 1979 by Professor Lin Housheng, a renowned expert in Qigong and former director of the Shanghai Qigong Research Institute. • Professor Lin designed the form to be accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels. It combines gentle, flowing movements with deep breathing techniques to promote physical and mental well-being. The form is based on traditional Tai Chi principles, but it is simpler and easier to learn than traditional Tai Chi forms. • The 18 movements of the Shi Ba Shi form are designed to stimulate the body's energy flow, improve circulation, and reduce stress. The form is also believed to boost the immune system, improve digestion, and promote better sleep. • Due to its simplicity and effectiveness, the Tai Chi Qigong 18 Form has gained popularity worldwide. It is now taught in many countries and is often recommended by healthcare professionals as a way to improve overall health and well-being. • Tai Chi Qigong 18 Form (Shi Ba Shi) 太極氣功十八式 Demonstration with Vivien Chao • The 18 forms of Tai Chi Qigong, or Shi Ba Shi, are a series of gentle, flowing movements designed to improve physical and mental health.
