BECOME A PRACTICE LEADER

Unlock and experience the transformative power of qigong, and then gain the confidence to share these practices with others as a practice leader. 

Join author and master teacher, Dr. Roger Jahnke, and assisting faculty from the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi (IIQTC) for a program that will train you in qigong methods to harness and utilize the power of qi for self-healing, stress mastery, and inner peace. You will learn to create classes that you can lead live and online. Through refining qi, vital energy or prana, you can naturally nourish and strengthen every system in the "Three Treasures"—body, mind, and spirit. The most profound healing medicine is generated within you.

Healer Within medical qigong, or Bu Zheng qigong—is an accessible array of easy and fun qigong practices, comprised of the four dimensions of qigong including: 

  • Gentle purposeful movement to improve circulation of blood and oxygen, strengthen the immune system, and detoxify the cells and tissues
  • Breath practice to reduces stress, tension, and anxiety
  • Mindfulness to support presence, neutral mood, cognitive capability, clearer thinking, and access to inner peace
  • Self-applied massage to heal the parts that need it the most

Research has found that qigong helps relieve major symptoms and even foster recovery in fibromyalgia, arthritis, hypertension, pain, insomnia, diabetes, heart disease, anxiety, depression, cognitive capacity and much more.

Practice leaders are in high demand in schools, hospitals, veteran centers, spas, social service agencies, and more. Become part of a nation-wide professional community of over 3,000 teachers and practice leaders trained by the IIQTC.

NOTE You can take this course alone or as part of the IIQTC Level1 Teacher Training. The hours are eligible to be presented to the National Qigong Association (NQA) for professional membership. 


This program is a component of the IIQTC’s seven-day Level 1 Teacher Training
