“The Clinical Qigong for Chronic Conditions Course was thoroughly enjoyable. The early stages of the course involved a lot of practice with the breath and movements, then once I had found my flow and learnt the visualisation it came to life, and I really started to understand the power of Qigong.
A huge benefit of the course was practicing at home, it really enhanced my life and wellbeing. Experiencing this first-hand has made me even more passionate about sharing it with others. The teacher was very knowledgeable and clear with instructions, she explained what Qigong was and how it should be used, and I felt guided and supported the whole way through the course.
I feel confident and excited about bringing Clinical Qigong into my practice and I recommend the course to any practitioner that wants to enhance their acupuncture practice and provide additional support to their patients.”
“I had a previous Qigong practice so had some specific criteria in mind when I chose the Clinical Qigong for Chronic Conditions course. It was tailored for acupuncturists to provide an additional method to support patients in clinic.
The teacher was very clear about where Qigong fitted into the tradition of Chinese Medicine, the purpose of the sets we were studying and their benefits.
The teaching was very precise with lots of time for clarification ensuring we had understood the material. Because the group had different backgrounds it helped us to gain a view of how to deliver the material in everyday language. It was clear however that the material had a long lineage and history of use which appealed to me and aligned to my own values.
I particularly liked the layering of the learning and refining skills, for example starting with physical movements, then adding the breathing in the next session. I felt this ensured that students committed to the practice and really got to experience changes in their lives which could be brought back to the next lesson.
The high standards set by the teacher meant a real sense of achievement in having completed the course. Although we had to ensure our own standards met the school’s requirements, there were ample opportunities to ask questions and continuing support the whole time. We definitely got the benefit of previous experience.”
