Tao Yin is a type of exercise and self-massage intended to revitalize a person’s internal energy, which is also referred to as ch’i. The exercises are used to encourage flexibility and strength, rejuvenating a person’s muscles, ligaments, and joints and help release blocked energy within a person’s body.
