• Tiger
  Related to the metal element and the lungs, Tiger movements are strong with a downwards direction that turns grief into courage and joy.

• Bear
  Related to the earth and the spleen, Bear movements are robust and deeply-rooted in the ground, summoning the solid and nurturing aspects of the fertile earth. Bear improves digestion and releases anxiety.

• Monkey
  Related to the wood element and the liver, Monkey focuses on transforming anger into forgiveness and joy. Playful movements strengthen the back, shoulders, and neck, and releases the liver’s energy flow.

• Deer
  Related to water and the kidneys and bladder, Deer movements undulate from low to high with exceeding grace and courage like the waves of the sea. Deer relieves lower back pain and improves willpower and libido.

• Crane
  Related to fire and the heart, Crane movements expand and rise like warm, tranquil, and licking flames. Crane strengthens the legs and back and opens up the chest to improve blood flow.
