Prubangboy Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I just signed up for 35 Qi Gong classes here in Chiang Mai. It seems like Tai Chi, but with more emphasis on balance. It's like, if I lived in Paris, I'd drink more wine: I live in CM, so why not study with a semi-name Qi Gong guy? I'm going to shorten my gym visits to squeeze it in. Anyone here done any so-called spiritual exercise? Muay Thai qualifies. What did you get out of it? Bonus question: Anyone had any romantic experience with a yoga-enthusiast? Was it chill or hot? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandtee Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) My spiritual exercise is lifting a couple of gin and tonics most evenings, while relaxing on my veranda, enjoying the lush vegetation and cool breeze. I think it's called chilling out, in the modern parlance.😉 Edited May 13 by Gandtee punctuation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunmaster Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Muay Thai is not a spiritual practice. The Hatha Yoga, now so famous around the world, is more like a stretchy exercise for the body and a lot of superficial "spiritual sounding" rubbish. True Yoga is something else. I'm not sure what you're looking for or what you expect Qi Gong or Thai Chi to do for you, but from the way you write (especially your bonus question), I think you should first examine your motivations behind this decision. Good luck 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's in The Old City, which I love, but barely visit. They have a tantric sex workshop too. I am so on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learnt yoga in chiang mai, I fully recommend everyone to give it a go. No romantic experience with yoga experience but a great place to meet ladies, probably ten ladies to one male 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignore it Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and Yoga. Those just happen to be the names of my wife's cats. Note: No sexual encounters as they are all neutered, as am I. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Moonlover Posted May 14 Popular Post Share Posted May 14 I've been practicing Qigong for around 15 years now. My main goal is to maintain a healthy mind in a healthy body and certainly seems to work. I've had none of the ailments that seem to plague us as we age and I have never needed to visit a doctor or hospital. I do not take any medications and have no intentions of doing so. I'm 78 years young now and still fit and healthy. My current Sifu (teacher) is an American who runs an on line academy and I have greatly benefited from his teachings. I've read some good reviews about the centres in Chiang Mai. I hope you enjoy the classes and make Qigong a life time practice. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
