The Qigong Beginner Set Contains the Courses Gathering Qi & Nourishing Qi
Method 1: Gathering Qi - Tian Yuan
The first method of the Qigong Beginner Set is an invitation to begin a different way of living. In this first method of Yuan Qigong, you’ll start turning your focus inward, attuning yourself to your inner rhythm instead of being mostly dictated by reactions to external events.
During this graceful moving practice, you’ll start to feel a deeper connection with yourself – gradually becoming familiar with the feeling of Qi moving in the body. The exchange of Qi that happens during the practice can initiate changes in the body such as reducing stress, improving posture, and increasing overall strength. In fact, the body and mind are beginning the process of integrating the separated 'self' within the greater whole. This can bring a deep state of calmness, increasing overall awareness.
The course is presented in four sessions, each with various topics addressing all aspects of the practice, including practical and theoretical. There are also audio guides, instructional videos and detailed explanations of each movement. You can go at your own pace, taking all the time you need in order to experience the benefits and deep joy that accompany a Yuan Qigong practice.

Method 2: Nourishing Qi - Di Yuan
A Yuan Qigong practice often brings about a more relaxed, calm, and natural state from which every day life can be approached with more ease. Nourishing Qi (Di Yuan) teaches and trains us to bring our awareness inside the body, thereby building up and keeping a reservoir of Qi in the 3 storage areas of the body called Dantians.
Nourishing Qi is a “standing” form practice. Holding specific postures with graceful transitions in between help us change and correct the outward-going habit of the mind, fostering integration and unification within stillness.
Because of its specific form, its focus on Dantian breathing and the strong Qi effects it engenders, this practice may be challenging for some to begin with. Persistence and dedication are essential in order to help us thoroughly reap the benefits (which are bountiful).
The course is presented in three sessions with four to five topics in each. The topics address the physical posture and the accompanying mind activity. Nourishing Qi is a quiet, peaceful practice that requires time to be fully appreciated. The course also includes video support on Dantian breathing along with a short, supplementary practice.

Yes we strongly encourage complementing your ‘live’ class with the online course. These materials greatly enhance your learning and can help you to establish a regular practice:
- Videos help reinforce proper postures between classes
- Audio guides support your home practice
- Having both teacher guidance and course materials provides the best learning experience
- Once muscle memory develops, you can practice with just the audio guides
- Learning from a teacher provides valuable benefits including:
- Precise posture adjustments

Contact a teacher through our Community section for personalized guidance.
Can I make my practices shorter or longer depending on the time I have?
Yes! Practice duration is flexible:
- Short 5-10 minute sessions are beneficial

- Once familiar with the method(s) and preparation process, you can practice without audio support
- Longer sessions can explore and combine various methods
Be creative and adapt the practice to your schedule while maintaining the core principles.
Do I need to learn the methods in order or can I choose to learn more advanced methods first?
The Yuan Qigong system follows a three-stage pyramid:
- External transformation (first 3 methods)
- Internal transformation (next 3 methods)
- Xin (Heart) and Shen (True Nature) transformation (last 3 methods)
While following this order is recommended, flexibility is important. Follow your intuition and needs, and consult certified teachers for guidance.
