BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY
Yuan Qigong Online Course - Gathering Qi
Gathering Qi (Tian Yuan) 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.
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 and around the body. The exchange of Qi between the body and the universe which happens during the practice can initiate change instantly. Some of the effects can manifest as improvement of the overall health condition, as well as more clarity and focus in daily life. The body and mind are beginning the process of integrating the separated 'self' within the greater whole. This can bring us into a deep state of calmness and harmony while increasing our self-awareness.
The course is presented in four sessions, each with various topics addressing all aspects (practical and theoretical) of the method. You will have access to audio guides, instructional videos and detailed explanations of each movement. You can go at your own pace, taking all the time you need, allowing yourself to experience the benefits and deep joy that accompany the Yuan Qigong practice.

- Videos help reinforce proper postures between classes

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.

- Method 2 for mental stability and calm - settles the Qi and strengthens the body
