Doyin, poorly translated as “oriental gymnastics,” is often misrepresented in the West with “stretching,” instead, it is the ultimate Taoist alchemical discipline in which every strategy is lavished to produce beneficial effects. Moreover, Doyin is specific to body hygiene, in which the use of tendon-articular stretching techniques combined with breathing affects the energetic stimulation of internal organs. For these reasons, it is among the therapeutics’ techniques inseparable from the Chinese health culture.
Doyin concentrates its technical and didactic strategies on the body’s subtle structures by absorbing the muscles’ dispersive energy. It reactivates and promotes circulation in the deep tissues and concentrates vital energy in the organs designed to recovery (kidneys and liver), promoting wellness and a general sense of relaxation. Ideal for all those who want to restore the joy of living a body with energy and health. Doyin integrates well with any other experience (Yoga, Pilates, and other gymnastic disciplines) that have their goal awareness in controlling the body.
The thematic strategies are completed with exercises to relax the deep tissues, breathing and meditation techniques for relaxation, structural and energetic strengthening techniques treasured in the martial world, all with great attention to the physiological work regarding body functions.
IACMA academy uses Doyin as the basis of work for all psycho-corporeal disciplines, considering this tool as one of the greatest for the preservation of health and the recovery of all the potentialities inherent in each individual’s body.
