Grand Master Chen Chuan Gang 28 lineage holder of the Da Yan Wild Goose Qigong
Since 2016, I have been conducting Qigong Teacher Training (QTT) programs designed to provide a practical, traditional and supportive pathway for people wishing to develop their knowledge and become Qigong teachers.
It is always a pleasure to welcome new students into these intensive programs. Over the years, we have developed a wonderful community of Qigong practitioners and teachers who continue to learn, practise and support one another.
A Traditional, Personal Approach to Learning
There are many different styles of Qigong and many organisations now offering teacher training. While the fundamental principles of Qigong are shared across many traditions, each method has its own approach, techniques and philosophy.
My approach is grounded in traditional Qigong practice, with an emphasis on learning in person.
I believe there is something very special about practising Qigong together. Being able to observe your movements, provide individual guidance, answer questions and experience the connection between teacher, student and environment is an important part of the learning process.
Qigong is not simply about learning a sequence of movements. It is about developing awareness, understanding Qi, cultivating stillness and discovering a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.
What You Will Learn
The QTT program combines practical training with the history, philosophy and principles that underpin Qigong.
Depending on your level, training includes:
- Qigong history and philosophy
- Centring and grounding techniques
- Meditation and self-awareness practices
- Qigong preparation exercises
- Ba Duan Jin
- Taiji Qigong Shibashi
- Guigen Qigong
- Stillness Meditation
- Five Elements Meditation
- Return to Nothingness Meditation
- Teaching principles and practical application
- And much more
Perhaps It Is Time to Take the Next Step in Your Qigong Journey
If you have been practising Qigong for some time and feel drawn to deepen your understanding, or if you have ever thought about sharing Qigong with others, I invite you to consider joining one of the Qigong Teacher Training intensives.
You don’t need to know everything before you begin.
Teacher training is a journey of learning, practice, self-discovery and gradual development. My role is to guide you through that journey, share the knowledge and experience I have gained over many years, and help you develop the confidence to eventually share Qigong with others.
I look forward to welcoming new students into our Qigong community and sharing this wonderful practice with you.
There are three levels to the teacher training certification, with two further levels for teachers wishing to pursue Qigong Mastery.
The skills learnt at each level can over time be absorbed into your everyday life, knowledge and experience.
