Tim,

Thanks, and sorry for the delayed response. Yes, this is a good video to follow and her set of exercises is good. As I mentioned in my article, because Eight Silk Brocade has been around for so long and so many people practice it, there are many variations of this set of exercises.

Her set has some similarities to the set described in my article, but there are also significant differences. For example, the closest of her set to Exercise III “Separating Heaven and Earth” described in my article is her Exercise 2. but there are significant differences. I especially like Exercise III because I think it is an excellent exercise for back problems, either to avoid back problems or reduce the severity of back problems.

Don
