Tne ancient Chinese have said, "Where there is no chi, life stops." Through a daily ritual of individual self-practice, many ancient Chinese lengthened their lives well beyond 100 years.
Qigong self-practice involves unique, gentle still and moving meditative self-healing exercises that cultivate and nourish chi and reinforce proper chi flow and balance within the body. Disciplined qigong self-practice strengthens the structural, and harmonizes the functional, integrity of your organs, tendons and muscles, and your cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, digestive and metabolic systems.
Incorporating a half-hour or more of daily qigong self-practice into your life helps to purify your anatomic and energetic systems and strengthen your physical body and energy shield from adverse environmental influences such as stress, trauma and pathogens that can otherwise impact your life with serious illness or injury.
A comprehensive curriculum of self-healing qigong and clinical qigong healing education programs are offered by Chi Wellness and The School of Qigong Studies.
Workshops and weekend retreat seminars, with Continuing Education Credits provided to clinical practitioners, are taught in several U.S. cities. You do not need to be a health specialist to participate. Practicing qigong in larger groups exposes each student to chi's healing powers in community settings, particularly over an extended period of time. This is a very powerful experience for everyone to share!
Private instruction is ideal for individuals, couples and families who wish to learn qigong self-healing exercises and forms that address very specific health and personal development goals. When, where and how long each instruction session occurs is coordinated between teacher and student. Distance learning of self-healing qigong practices via telephone and webcam conferencing is available to individual students and groups who want to study abroad.
Group Qigong Fitness Programs are designed for organizations that wish to offer qigong classes and workshops to their members.

CLINICAL QIGONG PRACTITIONER TRAINING
Clinical qigong is also well known as "medical qigong" and "qigong healing". Our healer training program is a 4-year curriculum, commencing October 1, 2010, for those who feel a strong calling to assist in healing others through natural, energetic health and wellness practices based on the wisdoms of classical Chinese medicine and ancient Taoist health and wellness principles and the integration of human anatomy, physiology and kinesiology. The learning schedule fits easily into the calendar (one weekend each month, starting in October and ending in June) so that you can engage in these studies outside of work and other commitments. The first year's curriculum consists of approximately 64 hours of fun, profound classroom learning, plus 24 hours of experiential homework.
To assure that each clinical qigong student has the essential foundations necessary to proceed into these studies, Beginning the Qigong Lifestyle and Deepening Qigong Wisdom are prerequisite courses that must be completed prior to entering this program. Additionally, completion of Qigong Movement is required prior to graduating from the Clinical Qigong Practitioner Training program. Your completion of these courses assures your readiness to enter the field of healing as a clinical qigong healing practitioner, as well as provides you an open door into the field of qigong instruction.
We encourage graduates of our program to obtain professional certification directly with the National Qigong Association. Continuing Qigong Education is also highly recommended to advance in professional clinical qigong certification and to improve the quality of care you provide to your clients.
