When you ar exploring the possibility of learning the practice of Qigong, it can be helpful to check out a few different trainers, get a feel for their varying approaches and personalities. There are different lineages or “schools of practice” grounded in the contributions of ancient trainers and their traditions.

YouTube is a great resource for exploring Qigong styles and trainers. I encourage you to check out several, find one whose style and approach you like, and then get involved in training with them. Trainers have free videos on YouTube, and also websites with training platforms on which you can subscribe to an ongoing program.

Here are a few:
