Bruce, I followed up with teaching n.1 of Dragon and Tiger to two women, both with twins on bed rest at the hospital in the Antepartum unit. One of these has some kind of “boots” that inflate/deflate to stimulate circulation to avoid blood clots and edema in the legs. The women responded very positively to this new practice. I am very happy we can do this energy circulation exercise as it is invigorating, balancing and relaxing all at the same time. Thank you Bruce!

Thank you for this blog on DT and pregnancy Bruce!
Wished I had these tools especially after having my son and in the months to follow.
Presently I visit high risk pregnant women at the hospital teaching relaxation methods. These women are 99% of the time at bed rest. Do you think it is a good idea to practice the first move of DT for clearing lungs, liver and breasts without unintentionally creating too much yang qi that could start premature contractions?
