Posture

Qigong — repeated breath-linked movements rather than a choreographed sequence
Teaching
The teacher moves with you, with minimal talking.
Spoken cues
English
Verified
Runtime verified against YouTube on 2026-08-02. The number above is what YouTube reports, not what the title claims — titles routinely round a fourteen-minute class down to “10 min”, and the session timer budgets against the real figure.

Where this fits in a session

Every Cloud Hands session is the same arc, and each class is eligible only for the phases it can honestly fill. This one can take one slot:

Qigong氣功
Repeatable breath-linked movement. Builds the coordination the form assumes.

The engine will reach for it when you have asked for gentle and moderate intensity — intensity in tai chi being stance height and single-leg time rather than speed — and it suits someone with a few months behind them and someone with an established practice. Against the six things you can train for, it earns its place on down-regulation and breath; joint mobility and comfortable range. Choose one of those as your focus and this class becomes more likely to appear; choose something else and it will step aside for a class that serves it better. It will not appear twice in the same week if there is anything comparable to rotate to — keeping tomorrow from feeling like today is the selector’s main job.

Is this safe for me?

Not if you are unsteady on your feet. This class asks for unsupported standing — the stance or the single-leg time goes beyond what can be done holding a chair, and pretending otherwise would be the kind of hedge this site avoids. If that is not you today, the library has classes taught seated instead.

The universal cautions apply here as they do everywhere: stop for sharp pain, chest pain, dizziness or breathlessness that does not settle; never force a knee past the toes; let the knee track over the foot. If you need to make a session easier, raise your stance before you shorten it. Cloud Hands does not screen for contraindications and does not personalise around a diagnosis — the safety scope is written out in full, including what it refuses to do.

Classes the engine treats as neighbours

These fill the same slot for similar practitioners, which is exactly what the rotation draws on when it is avoiding a repeat.

You do not have to pick classes yourself. Open today’s session and tell Cloud Hands how steady you are, how long you have and what you are training for — it will place this class, or one of its neighbours, into a 12 min slot on a day when it fits, and it will not hand you the same thing tomorrow.
