Description
The Extraordinary Meridians Qigong Instructor Course
Our online Qigong course has optional captions (English, French & Spanish).
Des made the decision to provide this Qigong instructor course, all of the Qigong instructor courses, in an online format for a number of reasons. These include: –
- The additional hotel costs for a course that is spread over eight weekends was more than that of the course.
- The number overseas enquiries where the cost of air fares was huge. Not to mention the environmental impact of all that travelling.
- The difficulty in scheduling any course on dates that suited all participants.
- The feedback received from students (world wide), along with their accelerated progress, has convinced him that Qigong can be taught online. As long as all of the information is passed on to the students. It cannot be taught, online or live, if that experience, that knowledge and passion is not present.
- Lastly, Des is now semi-retired and this has limited the amount of time he can allocate to live courses.
