TaoYin (Chinese: 導引; pinyin: dǎoyǐn "guide and pull") exercises were an ancient precursor of qigong, specifically the variety known as neigong, and was practised in Chinese Taoistmonasteries for health and spiritual cultivation.
TaoYin 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.
TaoYin is still taught under the name of Daoyin Yangsheng Gong at the Beijing University of Physical Education.
