The Qi Gong programme has been designed with certain continuity and progression in mind. We would always advise you to follow the programme from the beginning so you do not miss any important aspects or stages of the training. ONE MONTH = ONE MODULE; each module comprises four or five lessons (corresponding with four or five weeks of the month in which it was originally released Spring and Summer 2020). Each lesson / week contains several videos, audio tracks and/or instructional material in pdf format. You can acquire the individual modules little by little at your own pace and purchase additional modules at any time. If you wish to gain deeper knowledge on our specific Warm Ups, prerequisite exercises, and explore some further ideas for everyday stability and supple strength practice please refer to the August Module Lessons 18 - 22.

The Qi Gong programme has been designed with certain continuity and progression in mind. We would always advise you to follow the programme from the beginning so you do not miss any important aspects or stages of the training. Qi Gong Practice requires certain patience, regular practice and open mind; there is no rush and there is no timescale as most of the learning in Qi Gong and Nei Gong happens in circular way rather than linear way. This means that one aspect, one principle or one exercise needs to be explored over and over to access different facets, details and subtle transformations. Very often one exercise will include several external and internal aspects that need to be explored individually before you start integrating them into the complex exercise form.
