Tao Yin is a series of breathing exercises practiced by Taoists to cultivate ch'i or internal energy of the body based upon the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The practice of Tao Yin was an ancient precursor of qigong, and was practised in Chinese Taoist monasteries for health and spiritual cultivation. Attested from at least 500 BC. Tao Yin is also said to be (along with Shaolin Ch'uan) a primary formative ingredient in the well-known soft style Chinese martial art T'ai Chi Ch'uan.
