4. CALENDAR OF EVENTS
QI DAO PRACTITIONER CERTIFICATION
PROGRAM
Knowing how challenging it can be to try learning Qigong from books and DVDs, we created a
program dedicated to helping you learn how to use your body and energy more efficiently by
mastering Harmonious Culture of Movement of the top Qigong masters. During the three month
long basic program starting in October, you will also discover for yourself how to enhance your
physical and mental flexibility, how to send the waves of Qi through different parts of your body, as
well as to release various chronic tensions that may be causing some energy blockages in the body.
Not only will you find a greater sense of physical health and wellness, but also enjoy inner peace and
explore several profound meditation practices based on the Tibetan Dream Yoga.
The culmination of this program - the initiation into the practice of Empowerment given during
the final weekend workshop - will also serve as the corner stone for a number of more advanced
practices. And the best thing about this program is that you will not have to move to Portland,
Oregon, because the weekend workshops at the end of the basic, intermediate and advanced
programs are the only events you would need to attend in person. Just like the hundreds of people
from all over the world have done by now, you will be able to study at Academy of Qi Dao by using
the state-of-the-art methodology of Qigong Coaching and modern communication technology, which
allows us to see each other in real time and explore the aspects of our practices associated with
body awareness, alignments, movements, etc.
If you are not a spring chicken, have any health challenges, or simply do not wish to spend years
memorizing Chinese Qigong forms, you will especially love this opportunity to master Energy Arts
through Qigong Coaching. By joining our upcoming program, you will be able to enjoy one of the
best long-distance learning opportunities in the field of Qigong and receive the following benefits:
• Improve your flexibility and range of motion;
• Learn to send waves of Qi through your body;
• Become more Centered, Grounded and Rooted;
• Manage and prevent chronic stress and tension;
• Develop the Harmonious Culture of Movement;
• Enhance your balance through Kinesthetic awareness;
• Embark on the path of self-realization and spiritual awakening.
By participating in this Qi Dao program, you will be able to learn the quintessential principles of
Energy Awareness, develop a new, more efficient culture of movement and discover ways to be in
the flow, which can empower and improve every aspect of your life. You will also learn the most
effective meditation practices, methods of self-healing and ways to improve your mental and physical
flexibility and balance. Qi Dao practitioners are known for being really energetic, centered and
spiritually awake as a result of doing the practices specifically dedicated to developing such qualities.
If you want to gain these skills and abilities, you owe yourself an opportunity to become a Certified
Qi Dao Practitioner. For more information about our programs and to request a free orientation
session, please email Academy of Qi Dao at academyofqidao@gmail.com today.
