Online Qigong: Five Taoist Yin – enhance your Qi
The set being taught as true Qigong in the Online Qigong: Five Taoist Yin is also known simply as the Five Yin Qigong. The name of this set is a bit of a misnomer as there are six yin meridians and these exercises work with all six. In all, there are nine separate exercises in this course as it also covers variants for some of them.

The course is OUTSTANDING and one of the few things that’s actually providing relief… so thank you!” E.R. - “Precisamente o que estou a obter: Competência e praticidade.” J.S.
(Translation: “Precisely what I am getting: Competence and practicality.”) - “Very impressive! Professional, encouraging and enjoyable as a doorway to Qigong for a regular daily practice. I do appreciate the high quality of this Qigong course and the friendly, clear presence of Des. It was perfect for me to learn online at home without too much doubting whether I will do wrong movements. Every detail of the moves is explained thoroughly so I was able to follow it easily. Thank you!” H-A. G.
- “I really love this course, I just started to learn those exercises a few weeks ago, and I am enjoying practicing this qigong in the morning before work. The instructions for each exercises are clear, and the teacher, Mr Lawton is very good at demonstrating and explaining the movements. It is a beautiful set of qigong, I especially like that there are not to many movements to learn for a beginner, and that I can focus on just a few movements done well with feelings. Thank you Mr Lawton.” G.L.

Description
The Five Taoist Yin Qigong, like many other sets, has gone through a few transformations as teachers emphasize different aspects of the exercises. With three of them, that is Earth, Metal and Wood, along with the original exercise, I will be showing you alternative methods that are equally valid, that move the Qi in the same way, and I’ll let you choose whether you prefer one or other. In my own practice, I tend to use both and just flow into the one that my body mind leads me to. Heart and Heart Governor meridians can be worked either individually, or together.
The course contains
- Fire: Heart and Heart Governor – This exercise is done in three different ways, to do three different tasks, and you will learn all three.
- Earth: Spleen – You will learn two variants of this exercise, each working with the meridian but having slightly different uses.
- Metal: Lung – You will learn two variants of this exercise.
- Water: Kidney.
- Wood: Liver – Again, you will be taught two variants, each with slightly different qualities.
There are also downloadable files that contain information pertinent to the course

Question from Robert
Is there a particular sequence for this set?
Answer from Des
Hello Robert,
Each of these Qigong can be done as an individual exercise if the practitioner wants to focus on that particular quality. However when you want to perform the entire set it is most beneficial if done in either of these two sequences: –
- Using the Sheng Cycle, the feeding cycle, of Fire – Earth – Metal – Water – Wood. Depending on what Element you wish to finish on (to focus on most) you start with the next Element in the sequence.
- Using the Ke Cycle, the controlling cycle, of Fire – Metal – Wood – Earth – Water. Again, if you start on the next Element in the sequence to the one want to finish/focus on.
Regards,
Des

Question from Lorraine
First thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
When you talk about the tip of the tongue touching the palate…. Well.. should I be removing my full upper denture in order to actually touch the physical palate ? Or is it more an energy connection that will work “through” the denture material?
I know it seems a silly question, but it is nagging me to no ends.
Again many thanks for sharing and apologies too. .. I already bought 3 other of your courses through Udemy. before I got to lesson 32. 🙁 But I will keep your website in mind from now on.
Cordially, Lorraine
Answer from Des
Hello Lorraine,
LOL, the denture can stay in place………..
The position of the tongue is rather like the postures, stretches and tensions we use to help guide the Qi. By using this position we are “programming” our Qi to follow the microcosmic orbit, flowing up Du Mai (Governing Vessel) and down Ren Mai (Conception Vessel).
There are actually three different positions that are used in Qigong with this being the most used. The positions, through practice, determine the direction of flow and what Vessels are being used.
I’m glad that you are enjoying the Qigong.
Kind regards,
Des

Online Qigong: Five Taoist Yin – More Reviews
- “Professional course with fair bit of detail – by FAR the best information I have been able to find on the Daoist Yin Qigong moves. I’m reasonably experienced in taiji and qigong, and found this helpful, including the repetition of the basics (you really can’t get enough of that).“ S.D.
- “This is my fifth course with Master Des. Such depth, clarity and authenticity in teaching Qigong are very difficult to find elsewhere. Thank you!” – S.K.
- “Fantastic. I feel brand new with a new health toolbox. Many thanks Desmond.” J.M.
- “This is one of the best courses I have ever taken part in. A lot of information is offered ,, and since we cannot absorb it all at once, i will need to revisit it again and again. … and each time there will be new stuff for me to learn. It is so much better than just a “regular class” .. I am looking forward to practicing. and coming back for more tweaking. .. Thank you so very much :)” L.R.
- “Enhance health and expand consciousness. The instructor is easy to understand and he presents clear explanations for the movements and their benefits.” D.T.
- “I really like the emphasis on the subtlety of movement. This is something I’ve felt lacking in other Qiqong courses I’ve done. I also appreciate all that Des has said prior to doing any of the movements and how important it is to get the stance right.” V.F.
- “This is the second of Des’s courses I have completed – I have another waiting – and the more I do of these the more I appreciate the way Des tells you everything you need to know and guides the through each stage carefully, sensitively, and in a friendly way. All in all you learn Qigong in great depth with it being a thoroughly enjoyable experience.” R.M.
- “Yes often times Qi Gong Courses are too pricey and give you little explanation. As a practitioner of Chinese Medicine, it is nice to have something in line with what I know is true.” J.P.
- “The Five Taoist Yin Qigong course offers detailed instruction and explanations regarding both internal and external aspects of the practice in addition to the instructor modelling poses, often shown from two angles and with arrows and lines added to highlight key areas of attention in posture and activation of qi: Des Lawton demonstrates teaching-integrity and respect for his students, and knows how to facilitate student understanding, awareness and true progress, encouraging the students’ desire to learn. I’ve taken other courses from people who may know how to go through the outer movements with good form themselves and have impressive “temple” credentials and an exotic nationality, but they lack the ability to impart knowledge which is the essential attribute of a teacher and also calls into question their own depth of understanding. Other aspects of this course that lead to more rapid personal growth are paradoxically the emphasis on 1) form and awareness versus speed and 2) cultivation of listening jing, which both initially require an exercise of patience. The course supplemental materials are helpful, including the subtitles, and it is also a tremendous resource that Mr. Lawton makes himself available to answer questions.” L.A.
- “clearest Wuji stance definition I’ve ever received :)” T.H.
- “Yes. It delivered fast effective results in a short amount of time.” S.E.
- “Very clear and expert instruction” J.D.
- “I like the instructors openness with regard to his own experiences and his aims for the course. The lessons which he intends to impart will lead to a truer understanding of Chi.” M.H.
- “A great wealth of detail presented in a very clear way. Following the instructor as he carries out the exercise gives me a chance to experience the ‘Chi’ flow. Setting and quality of the recording (picture and sound) is excellent.” L.R.
- “The best, most detailed, course in everything-important tai chi. The teacher is sincere in striving to relate all the nuances. LOVE this course and very much appreciate!” M.C.
- “Very good explanations and contextualisation; the subtitles reinforce the very valuable content.” M.
- “Excellent course and detailed instructions as to how to do the movements – in particular the Wuji stance is explained in detail and very thoroughly. This stance has such a lot of different and confusing explanations online and in Qigong/Tai Chi books.” R.L.
- “Very detailed and useful. I feel that this is authentic qigong with all the benefits that go with it.” K.L.
