Qi kung and yoga teacher Mimi joins me to talk about her yoga journey, yoga in China, Mathew Cohen, “energy”, refinement, ageing and yoga, contexts, Taoism, what qigong is, the medical-martial-spiritual model, heart and lungs, romanisation, what chi is, “the spark in the machine”, primordial chi, yin yoga, finding true masters, women in Taoism, the 9 precepts, opposition, effortless action, racism, Avatar and why people don’t do Qi kung. A light yet deep one that can teach a lot.
