Qigong and Medical Qigong Weekend 25 and 26 July
There are only a few places left on the Qigong and Medical Qigong (MQG) Introductory weekend running at our college in Dublin on 25 and 26 July.
This weekend offers an introduction to the system of Qigong that we were taught by our Qigong Masters in China and is open to any adults whether they have previous experience of Qigong practice or not.
For those with no previous experience of Qigong the weekend introduces you to a set of simple but effective Qigong exercises that you can practice on your own on a daily basis to enhance your own health.
The Certificate courses in Qigong and Medical Qigong provide a rare opportunity to learn not only Qigong exercises for your own health and well-being but also provide a detailed theoretical understanding of Qigong as set out and presented by the late Professor Xia Shuangquan of Guangzhou University of TCM.
Acupuncture TCM or Chinese Herbal Medicine specialists can train to become Medical Qigong Practitioners – i.e. use Medical Qigong as a treatment modality.
Attendance on this weekend is necessary for anyone wishing to take part in the next Certificate course – either the Cert.Qigong or Cert.MQG.
