How Long Does It Take to Become a Qigong Instructor?
Most students complete their Qigong instructor training in 8-12 weeks through our online immersion.
We start with a live, 8-week Qigong Immersion. After that, you’ll optionally continue to complete your Level 1 Qigong Teacher Certification pathway with additional Office Hours, practice groups, and student mentorship - as much as you need.
You’ll learn at your own pace live or on replay. (live attendance is not required…) Our Qigong course is all-inclusive for a full year, with lifetime access to the course materials and lessons after that.
What Is Qigong Certification?
Qigong certification is the process of becoming recognized as someone trained to teach (or share) Qigong practices with others.
Our online Qigong certification includes:
Personal practice sessions in community several times a week
Teaching rehearsals with other students
Live lectures, conversations and Q&A
Video submission for your teaching certificate
Mentorship and feedback
A certificate that can be submitted for CEUs (Continuing Education Units) for yoga teachers and wellness professionals
We are not part of a rigid medical licensing board. This is a practical, trauma-informed medical Qigong training designed to meet real people in modern life.

What Makes Qigong Different From Yoga?
While most yoga taught these days in the West focuses on postures, Qigong centers on energy flow.
In our classes, we teach the 7 Foundational Principles of Great Energy Qigong, which set it apart from other movement modalities:
Breathe - Deep breathing regulates the nervous system and activates Qi.
Activate - Tapping, brushing, and sound wake up your energy.
Warm Up - Gentle joint rotation and soft stretches open the body.
Stretch - Spiraling, wave-like movements clear stagnation.
Flow - Soft, continuous motions restore natural rhythm.
Posture - Standing forms build strength, vitality, and energy storage.
Rest & Meditation - Stillness seals the practice and deepens integration.
These seven principles are the heart of our medical qigong certification. They create lasting transformation-from the inside out.
