What previous graduates have to say...
Yes! The course is set up so that you can simply skip the lessons that are about teaching and business skills. About 80% of the course is just about learning Qigong, so you will get a lot out of it still.
No problem! You can submit your questions by email and I will answer them on the group call, which you can watch as a replay. We can learn a lot from each other's questions!
Yes! At the top of this page you will see a price with a little arrow. Click that to see a drop down menu with payment options.
Those who wish to be certified will, after completing all the materials, write an exam, and do two private Zoom calls with me so I can check your forms and teaching skills. The certification is not through any official body other than my personal seal of approval, but you will be able to get liability insurance through websites like Namasta.com
I interned with Lee Holden for 3.5 years. He did a similar arrangement under Mantak Chia, who's school/lineage is called the "Universal Healing Tao". While Chia was Lee's first and closest teacher, he also studied under many masters across Asia and in the USA. Lee also became a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner at Five Branches University in California. Suffice to say I had an amazing teacher, who taught me a lot from his knowledge and experience as a student, teacher, and healer. You might say Lee is passing on Mantak Chia's torch, but I think Lee really created his own style of Qigong that drew from his multitude of influences. Likewise, while much of what I teach comes from my time with Lee, I also draw from my training as a Yoga teacher, and my studies with other Qigong systems, such as those shared by Jerry Alan Johnson, Damo Mitchell, Ken Cohen, David Verdesi, and others.
The live classes will be Saturdays at 7AM Pacific Time (USA). These will typically be two or three hours in length.
Yes! You have up to one year to complete this course and you can watch all the live streams as replays in your own time.
You can get a 75% refund up until the start date of the course.
