Qigong Fundamentals
The basic concepts students should learn and incorporate to get the most out of their Qigong practice.
The Qigong Fundamentals course covers the fundamental concepts that each student should become well acquainted with as they will help to mature your qigong practice.
All of the concepts should be incorporated into each practice session, but of course you will have to digest each concept one at a time.
Each fundamental adds to your practice, and the benefits are accumulative.
I cannot stress the importance of these fundamentals enough! I always say the movements are only 10% of the practice. It's the consistent incorporation of the fundamentals that will bring you the most benefit.

Your Instructor
In the year 2000 Sifu Rod changed his focus from a lifetime of external martial arts training to internal arts training and began taking steps toward the pursuit of self mastery. After a multi-year apprenticeship under the tutelage of a senior instructor recognized by the Canadian Taijiquan Federation Rod was the only participant in the program to be awarded his instructor honours. In 2010 the Barrie Tai Chi & Qigong training club was opened and started accepting students. The curriculum of the club reflects Sifu Rod’s passion for teaching all aspects of taijiquan training including the healing, martial, energetic and esoteric aspects.
Sifu Rod is a Qigong Master and a 5th Duan Master of Taijiquan Fa. He has taught hundreds of students basic Tai Chi and Qigong and was recently named Internal Arts Master of the year for 2014 by the AMAWW. Sifu Rod is also in the process of training new instructors in order to spread the benefits of these wonderful internal arts.
