Self-Paced Online Qi Gong Teacher Certification Program

Deepen your understanding of Qi Gong, keep yourself and others healthy, and transform your experience of life-force energy… in as little as 6 months* and from the comfort of your own home

Promote wellness, prevention, and healthy energy… even if you don’t want to teach Qi Gong

It’s the most comprehensive online Qi Gong training available.

And it’s not just students who want to teach Qi Gong who enroll.

Some of our students simply want to deepen their knowledge of Qi Gong, transform their experience of life-force energy, and improve their own wellbeing.

They want a deeper understanding of traditional Chinese healing practices and how to apply them to their own lifestyle… without losing the depth of the teachings.

The Holden QiGong Teacher Certification Program is like a “Master Course” in Traditional Chinese Medicine

The training offers a framework to understand Qi Gong and Traditional Chinese Medicine on the deepest level. 

You’ll follow a sequential, step-by-step path built from the foundation of Qi Gong Master Lee Holden’s method. 

If you’re a relatively new Qi Gong practitioner, you’ll learn the details of each movement and the Traditional Chinese Medical theory behind it.

You’ll also learn how specific Qi Gong exercises positively impact your own energy system…. and when (and when not) to practice certain movements. 

If you’re more experienced, this training program is the perfect opportunity to deepen your practice and understanding of Qi Gong and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

You’ll learn powerful tools and resources to help you maintain your health and the health of your family and community… and you’ll gain insight into which exercises and routines people can use to support their healing.

Help Others Improve Their Lives While You
Deepen Your Understanding of Qi Gong

We ask all of our students: “If there was only one thing you could get out of the program, what would it be?” 

These are some of the responses we received: 

  • I want to deepen my understanding and practice of Qi Gong.

  • I want the ability to help people feel their Qi and create better overall health.

  • I want an understanding of the practice, including why, what, and how it all works. I want to know how all the pieces interconnect and how to use them to skillfully manage energy and stress.

  • I want a deeper experience of the reality and control over Qi, and a stronger sense of connection to the Universal energy field. 

  • I want to live the rest of my life pursuing wellness, compassion, and energy. 

  • I want to be more within my own body instead of constantly tuning into the external world.

  • I want to help others improve their lives.

How would you answer? If there was only one thing you could get out of this course, what would it be? 

Do you want to deepen your practice and understanding of Qi? Do you want to live your life helping others improve their lives? Do you want to understand how Traditional Chinese Medicine works?

Help People Like Nicole Learn to Heal Themselves…

“Six months ago, I started practicing Qi Gong with Lee three times a day to see if it would change the trajectory of my twenty-five-year journey with MS.

It has changed everything in surprising, unexpected, and desired ways.

I am 50 years old, and I am looking forward to the time when I can say that I have been practicing for 30 years, like Lee says now. I know that I will be practicing Qi Gong for the rest of my life.

I would like to add mine to the list of lives you have positively impacted. I am filled with gratitude and excitement. I look forward to the unfolding of my life in ways that did not seem feasible six months ago.”

Meet Your Guide: Lee Holden

Lee is an internationally known master Qi Gong teacher. He has been featured on American Public Television and on select PBS stations throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Through his DVDs, Public Broadcasting specials, online classes, workshops, courses, and his teacher certification program, Lee has helped tens of thousands of students discover Qi Gong, heal from injury and disease, slow their aging process, maximize their energy, and feel better than they ever have before.

9 Reasons to Learn Qi Gong with Lee Holden

Here are nine reasons why our students decided to learn from Lee…

I decided to learn from Lee because of his approach of principle-centered teaching, as opposed to learning one or two forms like many others. Knowing the principles makes you a better teacher in my opinion because you learn how Qi Gong works so you can eventually develop your own forms for yourself and others you are trying to help!!

He is knowledgeable, clear, and seems to translate esoteric eastern thinking in a way my western mind can get.

I prefer a plain-speaking, no heavy spiritual talk, and get-to-the-point type person with a well rounded personality.

Lee’s teachings are accessible, which made it comfortable for me to pursue.

I like Lee’s integrative approach to Qi Gong, and his masterful timing with the duration of the exercises.

I like the way Lee teaches QiGong in a kind of easy-going way.

I like how Lee approaches the practice of Qi Gong, his authenticity, knowledge, and presence.

I like Lee’s humor and relaxed and open style of teaching.

I’ve subscribed to Lee’s courses for a while and always hoped for a teacher training to open because I like to go deeper into things. Besides his proficiency, I have a good feeling about Lee. The words that come to mind are: humility, simplicity, humour, security, consistency, ease.

What’s The Investment?

Hey! You made it this far down on the page.

That probably means you’re pretty interested in enrolling… or you just scrolled down to see the price. No worries either way. We love you.

Here’s the thing though:

Most people have a weird relationship with money. Most of us see something we want to do but when we see the price, we contract. We think, “Whoa, that’s a lot of money!”

There’s nothing wrong with this reaction. It’s a natural experience for almost all of us.

So, before we get into how much the training costs, we invite you to pause. Slow down. Take a deep breath… and relax. 

Touch base with your internal energy right now. Are you excited? Are you nervous? Just take a moment to check in with yourself. Don’t try to change anything. Just be present.

This is our invitation to you:

As you continue reading, stay present with your body.

Notice if you stop breathing, your breathing gets shallow, or you contract. If you do, just ask yourself, “Is this the authentic ‘me’ or the part of me that’s afraid of not having enough?” 

Alright, now let’s look at what it would normally cost to become a Qi Gong teacher.

To attend the required immersions and trainings in-person would mean traveling and spending about $800 on airfare on average.

Then you’d have to cover your food and lodging during your two week-long trips, probably about $2,000 USD. Plus, the cost of taking time off from work. Depending on what you do that could mean hundreds or thousands of dollars more in lost income.

And finally, the cost of the trainings themselves and the other costs such as private one-on-one sessions with senior instructors, would all add up to about $3,044.

If you were to travel, pay for food and lodging, plus the trainings individually, you’d pay about $5,844 to become a Qi Gong teacher (at a minimum).

Not too bad, considering you can turn right around and start getting paid to teach!

However, when you join our 200-Hour Self-Paced Online Holden QiGong Teacher Certification Program right now, you get lifetime access to everything you need to become a Qi Gong teacher from home for only $3,997 when you pay in full.

That means for $3,997 you get everything you need to become a Certified Holden QiGong Teacher. This includes $13,404 of program materials.

And the best part is: if you’re not ready to start your training, you don’t have to start until you are!

“I would be blind, in a wheelchair, and heading towards an early death.”

In 2011 I became hospitalized due to Multiple Sclerosis, and suffered from many other ailments from my military service such as, PTSD, herniated disks and depression. As I lay in my hospital bed I asked myself, “What is the best, most positive way to heal myself?” and went to sleep. When I woke up, I turned on the TV, and saw Lee Holden on PBS. He said, “You can do this even while seated or lying down.” I felt an immediate wave of relaxation as I followed along, and have not stopped practicing since that moment. I became certified by Lee in 2014, and can not thank Lee enough for sharing his knowledge and expertise. He truly knows authenticity, healing, and self-care. I know if I didn’t find Holden Qigong I would be blind, in a wheelchair, and heading towards an early death. Lee’s teaching has provided me with the training to discover the building blocks of my own self care strategies. Now, I help others heal and maintain wellness, and two of my doctors even started sending me referrals. You would be crazy to underestimate the power of Lee Holden or Qigong.”

After following Lee for the last 15 years at a pivotal point in my life I feel I’ve now entered another point of accelerated growth and can’t wait for more So to flow through me, and to others.

Thanks and Qi!!

“I don’t plan to be teaching… this is mainly for my own health”

“Howdy

I’ve signed up to do the Certification Program but letting you know I don’t plan to be teaching it when I finish.  This is mainly for my own health and to spread the healthy qi word with family and friends.

I’m in Perth, Australia so this is great that you now have this way of learning.

I found out about your qigong when I went on a meditation retreat about 18 months ago.  They introduced us to your You Tubes at the retreat.  I’m so glad they did.  I started with the 30 days of 7 minutes a day and was so glad when you then had your other series I was able to download.  And now I’ve subscribed to your online classes.

I’ve been doing the 108 moves taoist.org tai chi for about 3 years but I enjoy your qigong so much more.

I’m really looking forward to testing my brain (which is part of my health issues) and having access to all this amazing qigong information.”

“I was invited by the wellness program at the college to teach Qi Gong.”

“I took the Five Elements, and finished the Three Treasures Immersion this weekend. It’s fantastic.

I’m attending a community college in Texas… and I have to say this is one of the best curriculums and online programs I have seen even, even through the college!

For anybody that is considering it, I highly recommend it!

[After joining the Teacher Training Program] I was invited by the wellness program at the college to teach Qi Gong. I told them I was just practicing and all that, and now I have a large group of people learning with me, even though I told them I am just getting my certification! But we practice together still. It has been such a great experience.

Q&A Call Participant

“…I already love the teacher training program.”

“Hi team
…I already love the teacher training program. The depth and breadth of the material is more than I expected. Lee’s teaching is excellent and the support team is top notch. I’ve received friendly helpful customer service along the way.

I knew a little about Qigong, enough to know I wanted to study it more deeply, before choosing this course and, of course, anticipated benefits to my own well being, but I’m already experiencing unexpected results from practicing daily over this last month. Numerous times I have been flooded with gratitude for having chosen Holden Qigong.

So thank you all for putting together such a great program.

See you in August!

Angela MacLeod, Certified Tier 1 Holden QiGong Teacher

“I like what Lee has put together best of all the forms I’ve learned!”

“I love Lee’s style of Qi Gong and I have studied with a lot of high level teachers over the years and have to say I like what Lee has put together the best of all the forms I’ve learned!”

“Being a Trager Practitioner and RN, I encourage my clients to try Holden QiGong and they all have experienced positive changes in their lives.”

“Hello Lee and the Holden Qigong support team,

I want to let you know how grateful I am that I found Holden QiGong on YouTube a year ago.  The changes that have occurred have been miraculous. The biggest wow was when after practicing gigong for almost a year I tripped and fell fracturing my shoulder.  When I hit the concrete floor, besides my shoulder, I hit my forehead and then rolled onto my back.  I assessed myself and very quickly got to a sitting position and then stood up and walked to my house.  Incredibly I was able to come up from a squatting position with no difficulty. Also no concussion!  My rehab went very quickly, gaining normal ROM (range of motion) within 3 weeks and starting strength training at that point all ahead of schedule.  At my age of 60 I can only attribute it to gigong.  Thank you for creating an online teaching certification course as I live in the Northeast and my work schedule/family has discouraged me from actively pursuing teacher certification. Being  a Trager Practitioner and RN, I encourage my clients to try Holden QiGong and they all have experienced positive changes in their lives.  I am looking forward to becoming a certified teacher and offering the gigong experience to others.

Off to do gigong!

Eternally grateful!

Wendy Tryon, 60, Trager Practitioner and RN

“I was oftimes complimented on the execution of Taijiquan or certain esoteric and difficult Qigong forms.”

I began my Qigong study with Lee in the autumn of 2005 at Five Branches Institute. I completed the Qigong Instructor’s course with him and went on to study Buddha Palm and Six Healing sounds over the following years in workshops with him and Grand Master Mantak Chia. I was in Hangzhou, People’s Republic of China in 2006-7 and worked out regularly in the parks with hundreds of people doing morning exercises. From the depth and accuracy of Lee’s teaching, I was oftimes complimented on the execution of Taijiquan or certain esoteric and difficult Qigong forms. My praises for Lee Holden have no ceiling. He is Master Holden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still do this course if I'm not interested in teaching Qi Gong?

Yes!  

Think of this program like the “Advanced Qi Gong Practitioner” track. You’ll learn everything you need to build your own Qi Gong routines and understand how Qi Gong works on a fundamental level.

What would you recommend as an 'average' time to dedicate to the course each week?

We recommend you dedicate 30-60 minutes a day to the program. That’s 2.5 hours to five hours per week if you only practice on weekdays. 

You could complete the program in just about a year if you practice 30 minutes per day, or in about six months with 60 minutes per day.

I’m a more experienced Qi Gong practitioner. What will I get from this training?

If you’re more experienced, this training program is the perfect opportunity to deepen your practice and understanding of Qi Gong and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

You’ll learn powerful tools to help deepen your practice and resources to help you maintain your health and the health of your family and community… and you’ll gain insight into which exercises and routines people can use to support their healing. 

There’s a reason many people say, “Teaching is the best way to learn.” 

I’m a relatively new Qi Gong practitioner. Is this too advanced for me?

No! The training builds into more advanced material over time. 

If you’re a relatively new Qi Gong practitioner, you’ll learn the details of each movement and the Traditional Chinese Medical theory behind it.

You’ll learn about how specific Qi Gong exercises positively impact your own energy system. You’ll also learn when (and when not) to practice certain movements.

Do I need to have experience with martial arts to teach or learn Qi Gong?

No! You do not need to be a martial arts master to teach or learn Qi Gong. In fact, you could probably be in a wheelchair and be an amazing Qi Gong teacher.

Will someone help correct my form when I need it?

Yes!

You receive lifetime access to a live monthly Q&A Zoom call with Lee to ask your questions. Once you join, you have access to these Q&A calls for life. These Q&A calls are the perfect place to get feedback on your form from Lee.

You’ll also get access to our private, practitioner-only online community. It’s the perfect place to ask questions and get support from other teachers. 

Finally, you receive two private One-on-One Sessions with our senior instructors. These sessions are mandatory for certification.

I have very little free time; can I still do this program?

Yes! 

If you set aside just 30 minutes a day, you can become fully certified in just under a year. 

If you set aside 60 minutes a day, you could become certified in under six months. 

But you can take as long as you need to because the program is self-paced and you have lifetime access.

I’ve never taken an online program and I’m used to learning in a classroom. Will it still work?

The short answer is yes, the training will still work. However, learning online is a different environment than learning in a classroom. That’s why we have our private Holden QiGong Teachers Facebook group. It provides some of the “classroom” environment where you can connect with other students and get support.

I already have an alternative healthcare degree or certification (like yoga, acupuncture, TCM, naturopathy, etc.). Why should I also become certified to teach Qi Gong?

If you already have an alternative healthcare degree, then you might find that Qi Gong is the perfect addition to your repertoire. 

As the “self-care” branch of Chinese Medicine, Qi Gong is exactly the kind of work your patients should probably be doing in-between visits. Not only that, the Holden QiGong approach is practical, enjoyable, and easy-to-follow for anyone, at any level of experience.

Along with the opportunity to increase your impact, community involvement, and income, Qi Gong also offers you, the practitioner and energy-giver, a practical, well-rounded form of self-care. 

How often does that happen? 

Your patients benefit, your community benefits, and you benefit as well.

I work with people as an Occupational Therapist, a Clinical Psychologist, and/or I help people heal from Trauma, PTSD, or help Cancer Patients recover. Will this training help me with my healing work?

YES!

If you’re a helpful person, it’s an amazing feeling to know you can teach people how to help themselves heal and to have tools that let you truly help people healm and tools that help people help themselves in profound ways.

When we’re in a “provider” role, it is also vitally important to lead by example and take care of ourselves.

It’s up to us to find our own stress management, emotional balance, grounding, and strength in our boundaries so that we can offer as much as we can – but not too much!

And like we said above: Qi Gong is a powerful set of tools you can use to empower the people you work with to heal themselves.

I still have questions. Can I talk to a real person?

If you have further questions, we answer more commonly asked questions below. If you do not find the answer to your question, you can email [email protected] and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

If you’d like to talk it over with someone, you can call us at 844-4QIGONG and we’ll answer any questions you have.

“Bottom line, your health improves, you gain an enormous sense of well being and inner peace”

It really is true that if you want to learn something, teach it to someone else. This course deepens your understanding of the Five Elements, the Three Treasures, the Tao and Chinese Medicine. The side effect of this understanding is less stress, more vitality, better sleep, improved digestion, and more open, easy and heart warming relations with your family and friends and much, much more.

Bottom line, your health improves, you gain an enormous sense of well being and inner peace and you are in a better place to be able to help others.

I can’t recommend this course more highly.

Rick Brennan, Certified Tier 1 Holden QiGong Teacher

“The course is broken down into very manageable sections and there is always help at hand…”

It seems only yesterday that I signed up for the course but here we are 9 months later, I have just passed the course and gained my certification to become a certified Lee Holden Qigong practitioner.

Studying again in your 50’s can be quite daunting but I didn’t feel daunted because the course is broken down into very manageable sections and there is always help at hand from either the team at HQ or from others that have either passed or are on the journey with you in the private FB group, also the fact that it is self paced means there is a lot less pressure to meet deadlines and keep up.

It has been a wonderful experience, and I can highly recommend it to anyone either wanting some self development or for those seeking a career change, either way you will learn so much not only about yourself but the universe and everything in it. It’s truly wonderful!
