Qigong Foundations  Course

Restore your energy and calm your mind with gentle, flowing movements that balance body and breath.

Discover the power of gentle movement through the time-honored practices of Shibashi (Tai Chi Qigong 18 Movements) and 8 Brocades (Ba Duan Jin). These gentle, flowing movements combine breath, intention, and awareness to open the body, improve circulation, and release built-up tension. Each practice helps you move with ease and reconnect to the quiet strength within.

Through consistent, mindful practice, you’ll feel lighter, more centered, and deeply renewed. Whether you’re brand new to Qigong or returning to your roots, this course offers clear, step-by-step guidance to help you build balance, focus, and vitality—one breath at a time.

What You’ll Learn
Inside the Course

1. Understand the Connection Between Tai Chi and Qigong
Discover how these two ancient practices complement one another — Tai Chi as a martial art, Qigong as energy cultivation, and both as moving meditation — to support your balance, focus, and inner calm.

 2.  Learn the Flow of Shibashi (Tai Chi Qigong 18 Movements)
Explore one of the most widely practiced Qigong forms in the world. Through gentle, continuous movements, you’ll improve coordination, breathing, and energy awareness while learning how to flow with ease.

 3.  Experience the Restorative Power of 8 Brocades (Ba Duan Jin)
Learn the eight classic exercises designed to stretch the body, strengthen the organs, and restore vitality. Each movement encourages better posture, circulation, and internal balance.

 

4.  Improve Posture, Breathing, and Energy Flow

Enhance alignment and coordination as you connect movement with breath. Gentle, mindful transitions open the body’s natural energy pathways and ease tension from the inside out.

5.  Cultivate Calm Strength Through Moving Meditation
Experience the harmony of softness and strength as you move with awareness. Each sequence helps you quiet the mind, release stress, and find stillness in motion.

6. Develop Balance and Confidence in Every Movement
Refine your sense of grounding and flow through mindful weight shifts and rooted stances. With practice, you’ll feel steadier, more centered, and confident both on and off the mat.

REAL RESULTS FROM REAL STUDENTS

“My overall health has improved significantly since I began taking Tai Chi classes with Cheryl. After two months, my balance was better, and I was less worried about lower back pain. Classes were fun, and I enjoyed the energy, enthusiasm, and encouragement that Cheryl brought to every lesson.

After 18 months, the benefits to my well-being are undeniable. Improved balance and spine flexibility have given me more confidence in daily activities, free of back pain. I have Lady Tai Chi to thank for this!

Cheryl’s methods make learning Tai Chi over Zoom both clear and effective. Her detailed discussion of martial aspects shows her mastery as a teacher. As someone in my seventies, I appreciate how her instruction enhances memory and understanding of each movement. Cheryl is a caring, empathetic teacher whose upbeat attitude inspires everyone. I’m so grateful our paths crossed.”

“Whilst looking for yoga to help recover from a traffic accident, I came across Lady Tai Chi’s 'practices for a broken foot or ankle'. What a find! There is nothing else like it online. I love Cheryl’s calm voice, positive energy, and clear explanations. Her unique combination of being a yoga/taichi/qigong teacher who knows first-hand how injury affects your practices was just what I needed. 

After following the yoga practices, I was curious to try the Qigong seated practices in that playlist. I loved them too - they really helped instill the calmness I needed through breathing and balancing. Injured or not, I can highly recommend Cheryl’s carefully curated videos. In every session, her cheery ‘Welcome!’ makes you feel like you are in safe hands and that everything will be alright.”


 — Jacqui

“After many years studying with an exceptional yoga teacher who has since passed, I searched for someone with the same level of skill, care, and depth of instruction—and I found that in Cheryl. She is a great teacher of Yoga, Qigong, and Tai Chi who really cares for her students and can adapt the exercises to any injury. In Yoga, she is able to induce a deep level of relaxation and well-being by emphasizing posture and breathing.

In Qigong and Tai chi, Cheryl teaches with clarity and precision, guiding us through the fundamental moves that build strength, balance, a calm mind, and relaxation. Also, she provides us with useful tips for any current physical problems we may have. I have enjoyed her teaching for several months now and surely will join all the classes I can with her in the future."
