{"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJiangan 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44787391856819,"sku":"9781848190771","price":1080.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17477371269781848190771.jpg?v=1762818773","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/jiangan-the-chinese-health-wand","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
