- Evening Qigong for Longevity in Okinawa, Japan | CHILL GONG
This video includes gentle silk reeling qigong exercises, and qigong for the kidneys, qigong for the lower dan tian, and qigong for the water element.
Filmed on the Japanese tropical Island of Longevity, Okinawa. This set was inspired by the soft ocean waves, and laid back yet energetic lifestyle of the locals here. This routine is designed to improve mobility, resiliency, and fluidity of the joints of the hips, neck, and spine. It also works on developing the "Water Element" within, which in Traditional Chinese Medicine relates to our kidneys, adrenal glands, hormones, and overall longevity.
Video recorded, edited, written, and performed by Nick Loffree.

Lovely practice! I was a bit surprised, though, when commercials started to interrupt the practice.
I don't recollect this being the case before. Just so you know, Nick. Perhaps CZcams changed some settings.
Oh, thanks for letting me know! It looks like I can’t control the settings on this video because I’m sharing the copywrite with the musician… darn
So many wonderful classes. So many wonderful experiences. A great practice. Thank you Nick.
Great routine & location! Can you please do a morning routine version?
Already did! :) Here you go:

@@TheNickLoffree oh awesome, thank you! Also my mom suffers from moderate kyphosis hunched upper back & forward neck. Are there any qi gong movements you can do to help improve posture, reverse kyphosis, & enhance balance for fall prevention etc.?
Thanks!
Welcome!
What a beautiful and effective practice! Thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
What a peaceful and gentle practice. Having missed the livestream I am so grateful for the Chi Dojo. But how strange that a lad from Toronto ( the wet, slushy winters and nasty humid summers ) would consider moving to Okinawa, a place of beauty, grace, ocean, flowers, fabulous food and no snow. I wonder why ? Thank you, Nick, for not only sharing your knowledge and the lovely variations of movements but also for sharing the beautiful places that you find.
Been a busy few weeks and been lacking on qigong practice, so this was the perfect mix of getting my body loose and calming the mind that I needed!
Awesome 😎
So ready for sleep after this wonderful practice
this is my first practice on your channel and I loved it ; very smooth and well guided, thak you so much.
Wonderful!
I loved this routine! Thanks so much Nick ❤
This is such a lovely routine in a wonderful location. The little bit of music at first was also a treat. Doing your classes and dojo seems to be bringing the world to me. Thank you, as always Nick .
Wonderful again, Nick. Thank you so much for your videos!
I have just done your new version of the swimming dragon routine. Awesome job, thanks!
Glad you dig it!
Beautiful and peaceful. The sound of the waves really adds to the zen feeling! Thank you Nick!
Thank you, Nick for the Chill Gong on Okinawa!!! 😍
thanks i like the long practice, i would have preferred less ad breaks as they took me out the flow state of relaxation with abrupt unexpected voices which created anxiety and i guess everyones just trying to meet their needs
CZcams premium means no interruptions to your practice.
Nick, This is wonderful. I have a wonderful sense of well being all over. Thank You.
Lovely class with beautiful, restful scenery
Man these practices are highly effective 🙏 digging a little deeper every week
How I love your teachings!🙏Thank you so much!
Glad you like them!
What a wonderful practice after a long and tiresome day. Thank you so much!
Great Nick! Love the sound of the water too. Nature is helping us to get back to her soothing rhythms. This was a good routine after missing too many sessions. 😊
this was really good , it really hit the spot
Oh but such a wonderful class. I am at peace. Didn't know I needed it quite so much. Thank you , as always .

Shucks 😌
Lovely practice and setting but 4 ad breaks were pretty disruptive 😕 This is the second time i have done this routine but don’t remember the ads before 🤔. 🙏
Awesome lesson , thank you for your encouragement and guidance!
My pleasure!

Wow, thank you!
Lovely routine in a beautiful setting thank you 🙏
Thank you!
hi Nick, what a beautiful practice guided by you and the japanese waves.. very soothing.....I could follow this practice much better than the Shaolin practice...I really prefer this type of qi gong flow....thanks very much and see you in the teacher's training in February.... happy and very healthy holidays to you and your family.... namaste, Mark
Thanks Mark! Looking forward to meeting you soon!
Such a pleasant routine before bed while getting over a cold. Your Okinawa videos are my faves!
Get well soon!
Beautiful location and excellent class! Thanks so much!
Thank you!
This was so nice. It would be great if you could do a routine specifically for hormone balance, and also for fibromyalgia. It was almost too painful for me to do this, but the breathing was very helpful.
Lovely practice. Love the quality of light where you are!
Thanks! It was a beautiful sunset :)
Thank you for this nourishing practice. I'm really liking the new logo!
Glad you like it!
Hell yea Nick! This was the top video for “evening qigong”… following along from Santa Cruz 🤘
Dude that’s awesome! Miss ya bud 😆
Wow...what a gift right on Christmas time. Arigatou gozaimasu Nick Sensei! (The next best thing to be able to get to the amazing Retreat you are holding on Okinawa:) ) There is additional magic in being able to practise in Okinawa for sure....Merry Christmas to you and the Family too:)

Okinawa - the birthplace of karate as a result of Japanese and Chinese culture.
Dare I say that the meeting of American civilisation with the same culture may have led locals to become morbidly obese😮. The island known for longevity is all of a sudden facing the threat of the effects of ultra processed foods. 😢
Thanks again for this wonderful routine Nick.
I’m coming back to it again and again. Arigato gozaimas.
Chill Gong! Lol....😂
😜
Are you aware there are ads right in the middle of this?

How did you detox antipsychotic from your body?
What was the name of that flow you did immediately prior to monk holding the pearl? It was cool whatever it was.
Wish I knew the name!
🙏🏽💝🌹
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you! 😄
Thanks!
Thanks!
