How to Learn Qigong Online (What Actually Works, According to Research)

Most online Qigong programs look similar on the surface, and most miss what actually makes the practice work.

If you are a woman between 35 and 60 - this is for you.

If you are a woman between 35 and 60 - this is for you.

If you are a woman between 35 and 60 - this is for you. If you care about a woman between 35 and 60 - this is also for you. What you do with your health in your 40s and 50s is not a 'lifestyle preference.' It is a choice that is being written into your body right now - and it will determine, with startling precision, what the last decades of your life actually look like.

I'm not talking about vanity or weight. I'm talking about whether you will recognize the faces of the people you love most when you are 75. I'm talking about whether you will be able to get yourself up off the toilet without help. This is what is actually at stake - and almost no one is telling women the honest, full picture.

Why I Wrote a Free Guide to AI Marketing for Wellness Practitioners

Most of the AI marketing advice out there is written for tech companies and e-commerce brands. That's fine for them. But if you're a yoga teacher, a Qigong teacher, a health coach, or a healer, that advice doesn't land the same way.

Your work is personal. Your voice matters. And the idea of handing your marketing over to a robot probably feels wrong.

Shaking for Anxiety: The 60-Second Practice That Actually Works

Yesterday, Daniela and I spoke to a room full of college students and their healthcare providers about anxiety. One practice we taught them was shaking. By the end of the session, the room was different. Students who walked in tight and held walked out looser. A few stood there afterward, eyes a little wide, like they'd just discovered something they couldn't quite name. That's what nervous system regulation actually feels like when it happens in your body instead of on a worksheet.

Why You Might Feel Tired After Qigong - And What It Means

If you’ve ever finished a Qigong session and felt more tired instead of energized, you’re not alone. For many people, especially in midlife or during periods of stress, gentle practice can reveal underlying nervous system fatigue rather than immediately boost vitality.

This isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong. It may be a sign your body is finally slowing down enough to tell the truth. In this article, we explore why Qigong can sometimes feel tiring at first, how the nervous system responds to regulation, and how to adjust your practice safely while supporting deeper healing.

SPACE; A Practice for Conscious Response
Daniela Hess Daniela Hess

SPACE; A Practice for Conscious Response

SPACE is a simple, embodied practice for interrupting reactivity and reclaiming conscious choice in everyday moments.

When agitation arises, it isn’t a problem to fix – it’s information. A signal inviting you to pause, come back to awareness, and respond from presence rather than habit.

Through a gentle sequence of Stop, Perceive, Anchor, Consider, and Engage, SPACE creates a small but powerful window where the nervous system can settle, awareness can return, and wiser action becomes possible. Over time, this practice strengthens your capacity to meet life with clarity, maturity, and conscious participation.

Maybe It’s Not ‘In Your Head’

You cannot mindset your way out of nutrient depletion, thyroid dysfunction, or iron deficiency.
