A 30+ Hour Online Course to Help You Cultivate the Flexibility of a Leopard, the Energy of a Child, and the Calm of a Morning Lake
Ancient peoples used a specific set of healing exercises to clear energetic blocks out of their bodies.
These healing exercises “target” energetic blocks and “erases” them with simple stretches, easy exercises, and specific breathing techniques.
What was the name of this ancient practice?
Tao Yin. (pronounced “dao yin”)
Tao Yin was discovered from 2,187-year-old cave paintings and inscriptions on tortoise shells.
Check it out...
Silk paintings from 168 BC discovered at a burial in China depicting the healing art of Tao Yin.
Many years ago, Master Mantak Chia hired Lee Holden to write the book on Tao Yin.
They quickly discovered some of the movements were missing. The paintings and inscriptions were incomplete.
So they sought out the Master Teachers who still remembered the ancient practice of Tao Yin.
These teachers were the “Lineage Holders” of Tao Yin. They received the teachings through generations of instruction from teacher to student.
Lee would study with a master, learn their unique form of Tao Yin, and incorporate the new movements into the Tao Yin book.
And that’s how the nearly lost practice of Tao Yin was reclaimed.
Tao Yin is a remarkably simple set of exercises, stretches, and breathing techniques.
The practice helps you conserve your own vital life-force energy (Qi), recycle it through your body, and transform toxic or unbalanced energy into pure positive energy.
The goal of Tao Yin?
To help you become pure, responsive, and full of energy (like a child).
Tao Yin helps you harmonize your Qi, develop strength and flexibility through gently stretching the tendons, and releasing toxins through the breath.
Tao Yin has more “flow” than yoga, but more “stretch” than Qi Gong.
A typical Tao Yin exercise involves movement of the arms and body with controlled inhalation and exhalation. Each exercise has a different goal. For example: calming the mind, expanding lung capacity, or restructuring the spine.
Get All the Benefits of Meditation, Yoga, and Qi Gong in One Simple Practice
Maybe you love to meditate or want to meditate more...
...but you can't sit still for 20 minutes at a time.
Tao Yin is the perfect blend of meditation, movement, and exercise.
As you practice Tao Yin, you get the mind-calming, anxiety-relieving benefits of meditation…
The improved flexibility and strength from yoga…
And the deeply satisfying and profound experience of your life-force energy flowing freely through your body.
Tao Yin is a true “Moving Meditation”.
Because Tao Yin improves the flow of energy through the meridians (energy pathways) so well...
Shaolin monks used it to warm-up and exercise before martial arts training, Qi Gong, or meditation.
It’s the perfect practice to use before almost any activity, whether it’s passive like meditation or active like martial arts, working out, or even massage and acupuncture.
Tao Yin can help amplify the effects of nearly any other practice you use:
Yoga
Tai Chi
Meditation
Martial Arts
Qi Gong
Healing Arts
Fitness
Hiking
In the past, if you wanted to learn Tao Yin you’d have to figure it out on your own by using the book Lee wrote…
Or spend thousands of dollars on travel to study with a teacher in China or Thailand.
Luckily, you no longer have to travel or decipher the complicated diagrams in the books to try Tao Yin.
You can learn this ancient practice directly from the man who restored it... from the comfort of your own home.

1. The Qi Gong for the Low Back Workshop & Bonus Routine ($97 Value)*
Your body is more than seventy percent water.
Which makes it interesting that traditional Qi Gong training in China concentrates on water-like movements to build internal energy and power.
These movements are soft, flowing, and continuous—much like the way water ebbs and flows—to strengthen the body and increase balance and flexibility… and they hold the key to a pain-free low back.
*If you already own the workshop, we’ll send you a gift code for 100% off the Qi Gong for the Low Back workshop that you can share with a friend or loved one.
Learn how to fix forward head posture (“Text Neck”) and upper back and neck pain.
When your head is pulled forward it puts additional pressure on your neck, shoulders, and back. This can cause serious tissue damage. In fact, for every inch your head is thrust forward from its natural position adds another 10 lbs (4.5kg) of stress on the neck, shoulders, back and spine.
In this brand-new program only available when you enroll in the Tao Yin Online Course, you’ll learn simple stretches, exercises, and techniques to help restore balance to your posture.
“I use this program every few months to help open up my hamstrings and relieve low back pain.” ~Ben Cox, CEO & Co-Founder of Holden QiGong

Taught by Lee Holden’s Mom and yoga teacher Karen Holden, the “Unlock Your Hamstrings” routine is a straightforward set of stretches anyone can use to open and release tightness in the hamstrings.

"It was what my body desperately needed to open the lines of tension so I could experience the flow in a deeper way. Tao Yin frees my back, legs, muscles and joints so I can function without stiffness and constant pain each day. It is like the doorway to the treasure. A really worthwhile training."
"I'm so blissed out!! Crazy how effective this stuff is!!! And Lee's understanding and how he gives the information is just fantastic, very deep and holistic. He is really helping me upgrade my views on life and anchor them in. I'm so happy I found you guys!!"
"This has been the most wonderful, amazing experience I have ever had. I have several medical issues ( migraines, hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia) and though I have never let them win, sometimes it has been tough. I have been practicing Qi Gong with Lee for a couple of years and love it, but with Tao Yin I am able to move past, overcome and have a better quality of life. I have become more flexible, stronger and so determined to keep learning about Tao Yin."
The Tao Yin practices are similar to the yoga that I did for twenty years before turning to QiGong. The floor routines are a welcome change from QiGong's standing routines. They focus on the core more strongly, and oh boy, do I need to take care of my core.
I love the talks and integrated practices, it will continue to be interwoven into my daily practices and support system.
It's making for an incredibly healing, helpful, deepening, and particularly significant journey of practice for me, slowly re-opening lines of energy and healing lower body stuff that has been quite pesky and slow to get at until this Tao Yin deep dive.
