Qigong is a worldwide health and exercise system that is steadily growing in popularity.  

 My students come from all around the USA, Canada, and the UK.

Join my “Qigong Certification” course as a local or distance student to  

          satisfy the demand for more qualified Qigong Teachers.

A future Qigong Teacher should demand the highest qualifications from their Qigong Teacher.
