-
Before the Qigong course, MeiLing wasn’t sure she could make it through.
But something in her said yes.
By the end, she not only completed the training – she reclaimed her self-worth.
Her presence radiated quiet confidence.
She said simply: “I didn’t know I could do it. Now I know I can.”
-
Ross had served others for decades as a psychologist, coach, and family man.
He came to the Qigong training not for a certificate – but for himself.
He found emotional depth, community, and unexpected healing.
At the end, he shared: “I feel alive again. Like I’ve come home to a part of myself I didn’t realize was missing.”
-
Jodi had done deep work – therapy, somatics, breathwork.
Yet something still felt disjointed.
Through Healing Qigong, she found a practice that wove it all together.
One thread, one breath, one movement at a time. “Everything I’ve studied came together in this program. It was the missing piece.”
-
A gifted Reiki healer, Marcelia came into the program burned out.
She gave to others constantly – but her own well felt dry.
Here, she found rest, restoration, and reconnection to her intuitive gifts.
“This gave me permission to receive. I now trust my body again. My intuition is louder – and clearer – than ever.”
-
Becca already taught yoga. She had knowledge. She had skills.
What she didn’t have was confidence.
This training gave her not just new tools – but an embodied sense of authority.
She now teaches Healing Qigong to her clients and weaves it into her private sessions.
“I didn’t just learn. I changed. My students can feel the difference.”
“As an educator with over 30 years of experience, I can recognize exceptional teaching. This course exceeded my expectations.”
– Stephanie C., Google Review
If you teach yoga, we are the only Qigong Teacher Training listed as continuing education by Yoga Alliance
no yoga experience is required or expected - This is not a yoga training
Great Energy Qigong is a contemporary synthesis inspired by classical Chinese medicine, Taoist energy cultivation, and modern trauma-aware education.
There are no yoga postures, no asana sequencing, and no yoga philosophy taught in this Qigong certification.

A Final Note
At a certain point, it becomes less about knowing what to do
and more about doing something that actually changes how you feel.
If your energy hasn’t been where you want it to be
this is a real way to shift that - gently, consistently, in a way that lasts
