• all 3 major types of Qigong, including moving, standing and sitting Qigong. The first set of Shibashi, the Wuji & Taiji Stances and the basic Internal Alchemy technique will be taught respectively for each type.
• the theory of Qi and the health benefits of Qigong from both Eastern and Western perspectives;
• the details surrounding each Qigong movement;
• abdominal and reverse breathing techniques;
• about the physiological changes when one enters Qigong mode;
• about the feelings to be expected after practicing qigong and the meaning behind each of these feelings and
• about the common mistakes students make when practicing Shibashi.

By the end of the course, you will know how to:

• check if others are relaxed by assessing their physical and mental state;
• maximise the benefits of Shibashi by adding extra elements to certain movements;
• incorporate some simple yet powerful stances into Shibashi;
• modify movements when teaching seniors and those with special needs;

You will benefit most form this workshop if you are able to learn and practice from Sifu Cheung's home-study videos : Level 1 Qigong Mode & Tai Chi Posture Requirements and Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi Set 1 These are not compulsory and we will cover all the contents in the workshop, but they are very helpful if you intend to teach this Qigong.

Optional Individual Assessment

None, as many students come for the benefit of their own practice. However if you plan to do the assessment, we recommend you familiarise yourself with Set 1 Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi in the style of Sifu Wing Cheung. "
