The first basic exercise is called «The Big Tree». The Big Tree is the most important exercise of the first stage of the ZYQ system and it dates back thousands of years. Various schools of Qigong and KungFu practice it in many forms. We can say that trees know how to receive energy from the sky and the earth. We need to learn these skills from the trees by becoming them. We practice this exercise to increase the amount of vital energy and for rapid healing of the body.
