introduction:
Roc spreads it’s wings is another free qigong exercise for you to learn. We’ve also seen what looks like the same exercise done as a warm up and called 'Early bird spreads its wings' so you might already know it.The influence of birds and their wing movements is not just found in qigong - the swooping action of raising the arm is found in the simplified tai chi form as 'White crane spreads its wing'.

For this move imagine that you are a powerful eagle as you raise your body and heels and stretch your wings out to get ready to fly free.
benefits:
- back is strengthened by the heel raises
- balance is also improved by the heel raises
- lungs benefit from the arm extension up and out
- said to help lift depression
tips:
- avoid bending too far forward or backwards - you could put too much pressure on your back muscles
- Always do things slowly and comfortably – Tai chi and qigong for health and relaxation are not meant to hurt! – ever!
