Comprehensive Tai Chi Qigong (Instructor) Training Course – Level II by Senior Instructor Catherine Burnett and Annie Cryar

Students will learn:

  • Principles and theories of tai chi and qigong;
  • Advance techniques on improving the tai chi and qigong training;
  • The 18 movements of the Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi 2nd Set;
  • The Tai Chi Stance;
  • Techniques to increase the sensitivity to qi;
  • How to increase neijing (internal power);
  • An exercise that could prevent any major sicknesses;
  • An exercise to correct the spinal alignment;
  • Inner Alchemy Meditation (beginner to intermediate level)

Inner Alchemy Meditation – The beginner level student will learn how to develop their lower Dan Tian so that they can build up enough Jing (sexual energy, kidney energy or water energy) and at the same time maximize their lung capacity. The intermediate level will learn how to turn this water energy into steam (qi) and bring it upward to meet with the fire (heart energy), thus achieving the perfect condition of Hexagram 63 described by I Ching (Yi Jing). This process develops the middle Dan Tian, releases the negative energy and at the same time builds up the spiritual energy (Shen).

  • “I feel that the workshop significantly helped me to improve my forms and understanding of the Shibashi set.  I also found the meditation segments of your workshop to be very helpful.  I have had trouble meditating in the past, and I feel that your workshop helped me to become more centered in my practice.” – Tai Chi Instructor Ryan Lee of USA

  • “From my past experience and knowledge of Tai Chi and Qigong I found your training extremely enlightening and felt spiritually charged to practice more diligently again. Its been a while that I have been this charged.” – Greg Gardiner of Canada – Tai Chi Instructor for over 20 years

  • “Thank you again Sifu, for an absolutely excellent course!  The Best in so many aspects, that I have attended for many years.” – Hans Boeltzig of Finland

Optional Individual Assessment:

Sifu Wing Cheung is the lineage holder for this style of Shibashi and if you wish to

Instructors we are authorised to pass your assessments. When you pass, we will inform Sifu Cheung and
arrange for your certificates to be sent from Toronto.

We will close the workshop at 4.00pm on Sunday and then the assessments take place, which take
approx.15 minutes per person. You will be asked to demonstrate Shibashi set 2, as taught by Sifu Cheung,
