Taoist Yoga [Gentle Way] has a long and well-documented history in China. This style of Yoga was made popular by the Monks of Shaolin Temple and the Priests of Wu Dang Mountain, who without fail, practiced Tao Yin before engaging in their particular martial art forms.
According to the Nei Ching [Classical Book of Chinese Internal Medicine], Taoist Yoga is the third of the five components of TCM [Traditional Chinese Medicine]. Yoga is yoking together the mind and the body. In the practice of Taoist Yoga, which means "Gentle Way", you will learn how to stretch in the Asana (posture) without straining, allowing yourself the freedom to relax in a posture. Although we may practice in a group, Yoga is a personal experience. The postures we practice are Earth (ground) and Sky (standing).
