These types of group exercises foster a sense of community and fraternity. DO Wear loose clothing, like long tights and a T-shirt. Both give freedom of movement. Wear proper shoes. Nothing that is too tight, heavy or clumsy, and no slippers.
Instructors recommend a shoe with a thin base.
Wait about half an hour after exercising to take a bath. Some instructors believe that too drastic a temperature change is not good, and interferes with the energy flow. Consult a physician before starting on an exercise programme, particularly if you have doubts about your state of health. Rest if you are feeling ill or on medication. DON'T Do qigong, or any exercise for that matter, on an empty stomach.
