Qigong Foundational Course is a rare opportunity for seekers to begin their journey and connect to a Living Tradition with an authentic lineage passed down from Master to Student for centuries, from generation to generation in China.
In this Certification course, you will learn the 6 fundamental Zhan Zhuang Positions, the Wuji position + 5 elements, the first 4 Ba Duan Jin movements, and the Qigong theory rooted in Classical Chinese medicine. All of these work to heal, strengthen and balance the internal organs, the mind, and the physical body.
Zhan Zhuang is the oldest and most effective form of qigong. It allows the practitioner’s Qi to flow through the blockages, clearing stagnations and at the same time strengthening the internal and external body.
Ba Duan Jin (The Eight Brocade) is a form of medical qigong meant to improve health. These eight silken movements help tone up your internal organs and create suppleness and strength in the body.
Whether you want to release stress, pent-up emotions and trauma, heal illnesses, cultivate your internal power for athletic performance or deepen your meditation practice, this qigong system allows the practitioner to explore their maximum potential.
