Silver Spring, MD; August 13, 2007 - Acacia announces the October 30, 2007 DVD release of Qi Gong Fire & Water with Matthew Cohen, offering two gentle, easy-to learn mind-body practices accessible to men and women of all ages, especially good for seniors and for therapeutic purposes.

Qi Gong (CHEE-gong) is an ancient Chinese health system that promotes mental and physical balance and a feeling of calm vitality. Millions of people have discovered the amazing benefits of these simple standing exercises, breathing, and slow, graceful whole-body movements. Anyone can do it, and medical studies tout the positive effects of Qi Gong on hypertension, arthritis, and longevity.

Filmed amid the beauty of California's Alabama hills, developed and taught by Chinese martial arts and Qi Gong expert Matthew Cohen, these two 40-minute programs, Fire and Water, cultivate calm, balanced energy and vitality, detoxify the body, and offer the practitioner a sense of inner peace. Fire transforms tension, stress, and anxiety into revitalizing energy, while Water gently builds strength, flexibility, and range of motion.

Includes bonus martial arts demonstrations and yoga mudras for health.
