“Life energy is truly the key to looking and feeling youthful at any age. In her new book, Qigong for Staying Young, Shoshanna Katzman shows you exactly how to enhance your life energy through the ancient and simple practice of Qigong. I highly recommend this book for women (and men) everywhere.”

Christiane Northrup, M.D.
author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause

“While many books on qigong describe general practices, Qigong for Staying Young is written by an acupuncturist with many years clinical experience, and gives practical applications that people can do for themselves for a wide range of common conditions. It translates the complexities of qigong and Oriental Medicine into simple, straightforward, common sense that anybody can do. We will be whole-heartedly recommending this invaluable book to our students and patients for many years to come.”

“ Bravo! What a wonderful, in-depth, and heartfelt offering this book is. Shoshanna has certainly honored her teachers in sharing the practical and rich wisdom flowing in these pages. It is a gift to women of all ages, a tool for life. The healing benefits that come from sincere Qigong practice can truly be sampled in Shoshanna’s fine work.

“ I'm so glad to see another learned female qigong practitioner bringing qigong information and experience to Americans. Qigong has been practically effective for holistic health care for thousands of years. It is a life-long tool for preserving health, safely and cheaply. This is the value Shoshanna offers to her readers."

“ This magnificent work is an incredible distillation of an enormous body of knowledge, and yet it is so readable and clear. It is the first book I've read that provides a comprehensive qigong practice and includes the theory underpinning each qigong exercise. This book will be welcomed by newcomers to qigong as well as seasoned practitioners. Shoshanna Katzman is truly an authority on qigong and Chinese medicine, and writes without being authoritarian. Her tone is permissive and forgiving and she assumes her reader has common sense. I liked understanding why I feel better after I practice. As a busy woman with a family, Katzman understands the context from which women come to qigong. She understands that women need a lot of support to undertake a daily practice and by satisfying our physical need for practice, our intellect's need for theory, and demystifying the Chinese Medicine view of our body, she gives us this support right through the page. This book comes from a big heart, you can feel Shoshanna's warmth and presence on every page. She gives us the strength and encouragement to embark on our path and stay on it.”

“ In her new book, Qigong For Staying Young, Shoshanna Katzman has provided a deep instruction not only on qigong exercise, but on the deep and profound benefits qigong has to offer the modern world and particularly the modern woman. This text is fun, even quoting Ann Landers, but it explains rich traditional Chinese medicine tenets. I encourage EVERYONE, and particularly women, to open to the benefits of this fine work. Shoshanna has given the world of qigong and the world at large a great gift in this book. My advice? READ IT!"

“ Shoshanna explains what many Chinese keep secret: the special needs of women, and exactly how each movement activates the qi flow essential to radiant health. A must-have for anyone interested in taking control of their own health.”

Michael Winn, Past President of the National Qigong Association and Founder of the Healing Tao USA Retreats and co-writer of seven books with Mantak Chia

“ Qigong for Staying Young is an empowering workbook showing women of all ages how to obtain great health benefits from ancient breathing exercises. Practicing the exercises in this book daily can renew vitality and boost the quality of your life.”
