Sun Simiao’s Longevity Exercices Course (3 hours)

天竺國 按摩法 – Tian Zhu Guo An Mo Fa
A 3 hour long course on Sun Simiao longevity exercices.

Sun Simiao is a legendary physician of the Tang dynasty. Alongside his medical writings, he transmitted a lesser-known set of exercises devoted to nourishing life (yangsheng)—a simple yet profound routine designed to support health, resilience, and longevity over a lifetime.

Despite Sun Simiao’s importance, this exercise set is rarely taught and even more rarely demonstrated in English. For many practitioners, it exists only as brief textual references, without clear explanation of how to actually practice it.

In this 3-hour online course, Ethan offers a unique transmission of these exercises. Having personally translated the source material and drawing on over 30 years of experience in gongfu and taiji, he presents a coherent, embodied way to practice the routine—clearly demonstrated, carefully explained, and grounded in lived experience rather than theory alone.

Beyond the movements themselves, the course explores why this routine matters: how integrating it into daily life can support long-term health, improve how you feel in your body, reduce strain and stagnation, and contribute to longevity and disease prevention. This is not about performance or athleticism, but about cultivating ease, vitality, and continuity in everyday life.

This routine, that only requires a few minutes a day, will bring many benefits to you:

• Supports long-term health and graceful aging
• Encourages smooth circulation and reduces stagnation
• Promotes ease, comfort, and vitality in the body
• Helps release tension and regulate the nervous system
• Gentle, accessible, and sustainable for daily practice
•  Rooted in classical Chinese medicine and longevity principles

 

This course offers rare access to a classical longevity practice, presented in a clear and practical way. Whether you are new to nourishing-life practices or deepening an existing path, this routine provides a simple, sustainable method to support health and longevity—one you can return to for years to come.
