THE PROGRAM
The Qigong Teacher certification (300h) is divided into 2 parts
Part 1
Taiji Qigong Shibashi set 1 instructor certification (150h)
50h of live one on one online training (Skype or FaceTime)
50h of video study of your personal online classes
20h of written and video exam preparation (midterm exam)
30 hours of in-person seminar/final exam (6h x 5 days)
The 50h live classes will consist of:
Taiji Qigong Shibashi set 1 basic movements, breathing, and meditations (Jing/Qi/Shen)
Taiji Qigong Shibashi set 1 intermediate Qi circulation/perception (Integrating Jing/Qi/Shen into one)
Qi perception development exercises
Full body Breathing anatomy and exercises
Musculoskeletal anatomy for Qigong movements and posture improvement exercises
Shaolin Zhan Zhuang (Nei Jin Yi Zhi Chan aka Inner Strength 1 Finger Zen)
Meditations practices
Basic Chinese philosophy and Chinese medicine principles as they relate to Qigong
Your live class will be recorded and sent to you the same day. Since there is a lot of material covered in 1h, studying the video will allow you to better integrate each lesson. It also allows you to focus in class and take notes after when reviewing the video.
During part 1, you will have 2 midterm exams before the in-person final exam. These exams will be one video and one written. The video exam will simply be you demonstrating the whole form and will happen somewhere in the middle of the training once you will know the complete form and we start to go deeper into each movement. The written exam will be a short explanation of how you would teach each movement to a beginners class. I will explain them both in more details once we get to this point. There are no extra fees for these 2 exams.
Part 2:
Taiji Qigong Shibashi set 2 and set 3 instructor certification (150h)
50h of live one on one online training (Skype or FaceTime)

30h of in-person seminar final exam (6h x 5 days)

Your live class will be recorded and sent to you the same day. Since there is a lot of material covered in 1h, studying the video will allow you to better integrate each lesson. It also allows you to focus in class and take notes after when reviewing the video.
During part 2, you will have 4 midterm exams before the in-person final exam. These exams will be 2 videos and 2 written. The video exams will simply be you demonstrating the whole forms (2 and 3) and will happen after you learned each form before we start to go deeper into each movement. The written exam will be a short explanation of how you would teach each movement to a beginners class. I will explain them both in more details once we get to this point. There are no extra fees for these exams.
In-person seminar/final exam
There are 2 in-person seminars/final exams, one for part 1 and one for part 2. The fee is 1000$ Canadian per seminar. This fee as to be paid in full prior to the seminar. We can discuss payment plan once you finish the online training. It could be spread over a few month before the seminar. There are 2 options for the location of the seminar:
1-You come to my training center in Los Cabos, Mexico. There is a comfortable bedroom with full bathroom and kitchen at your disposal at no extra cost. All you have to calculate is your transportation and food budget.
2-I can travel to your location. If you choose this option, you will have to pay for my travel expenses or you can organize a 2-day seminar with enough students to cover these expenses. If the seminar makes more money then my travel fees, the surplus will be divided 50/50. Ideally, we would do your personal 3-day exam first and then the 2-day public seminar where you would be my assistant and receive your certification publicly at the end. This way people who attended the seminar will know they can continue their training with you. This would be a good publicity for you and a way to start with some students.
