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

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

Peter C.

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.

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 GrandMaster 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.

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

We ask all our students, “If there was only one thing you could get out of the Teacher Training, what would that 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. 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 be helping others improve their lives.

Reading the list above, how would you answer? If there was only one thing you could get out of the Teacher Training, 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 own lives?

Whatever it is you want to get from the Teacher Training, whether you want to teach or not, we’re confident you’ll get it.

9 Reasons to Learn Qi Gong with Lee Holden

Can we be honest with you for a moment? 

There are a lot of other teacher training programs you could take… and we want you to do the one that fits you the best. If it’s ours, great! If it’s not, we know you’ll be in good hands. 

However, our students say they LOVE learning from Lee. Here’s why they 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.

Where Do You Want to Be in a Year?

Everyone has a different reason for joining the Teacher Training program. 

Some people don’t even want to teach, they just want to deepen their practice. For others, it’s all about starting a new stream of income doing something they love. 

Joining the Teacher Training is a big commitment of time and resources. It’s no small decision. 

As a team, we’ve found that knowing where we want to be in a year helps us decide what actions to take right now. 

For example, some people that join the teacher training say they want to feel qualified to lead others in their discovery of Qi Gong and its healing possibilities. Others say they want to be sharing this knowledge with clients so it can help them move on and heal, or they want to volunteer their time. 

Some say they want to have deepened their personal practice, and then share and help others with a sense of confidence building throughout the training… and some say, “I want to do something meaningful. I want to find my path. It currently feels like I am stumbling through the woods.” 

So, where do you want to be a year from now? 

Take a moment to close your eyes and think about it. Visualize the feelings you have a year from now. What do you feel in your body? What thoughts are you having? What feelings do you have? 

As you decide whether or not to join the Teacher Training, use these as the “anchor.” Ask yourself, “Does joining the Teacher Training bring me closer to where I want to be in a year?”

When You Join the Program, You Receive Lifetime Access

That doesn’t just mean you can start your learning whenever you want… it means you can revisit any of the material after you get certified.

It also means you get lifetime access to ALL of our past masterclass calls AND all of the future ones.

Which means after you join the program, there is NO ongoing charge to continue your learning… even after you get certified.

So when you join, you get access to over 70 hours of video content, broken out into easy-to-digest chunks… as well as ALL of our past masterclass calls, ALL the future ones, and ALL the future Q&A calls with Lee, forever.

For example, say you receive your certification, you start teaching… and two years later you have a question. All you have to do is hop on the next Q&A call with Lee and ask him directly.

That’s it!

Now you’re probably wondering what it takes to get certified? Well…

Here Are the Tier 1, 200-Hour Qi Gong Teacher Certification Requirements

To receive your Tier 1 Qi Gong Teacher Certification, here is what you have to do:

First, you must watch the videos and listen to the audio tracks in the 16 week curriculum and participate in all the Qi Gong lessons and meditations within the coursework.

After you complete each module, you are required to pass a quiz before you can continue to the next week’s content.

You can’t teach without having a deep sense of the Qi Gong itself, so before you get certified you’re required to log 58 hours of additional personal practice time… as well as 30 hours of practice teaching with other people.

Finally, to receive your certification, you must complete two one-on-one lessons with our senior instructors, record a 15-20 minute teaching demonstration video, and complete a final written examination.

If it seems like a lot, it is!

We take your certification and ability to teach Qi Gong effectively very seriously. It would take a lot, but you could potentially get certified and start teaching in as little as 6 months, but about 8-10 months is more realistic.

(Oh, and we want to be sure you know: All the materials, resources, and required sessions are included in the cost of the program.)

What’s The Investment?

Hey! You made it this far down the page. This probably means you’re relatively interested in the program… 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. We see something we want to do, something we KNOW we want to do… then we see the cost and we contract. We collapse. 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 own internal energy right now. Are you excited? Are you nervous? 

Just take a moment to see where your energy is. Don’t try to change anything. Just be present with yourself. 

This is our invitation to you:

As you continue reading, stay present with your body. Notice if you stop breathing or you contract. If you do, just ask yourself, “Is this the authentic ‘me’ or is this 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 trainings, probably about $2,000. Then you’d have to factor in the cost of taking time off work. Depending on what you do that could mean hundreds or thousands of dollars more “lost.”

And finally, the cost of the trainings themselves and the other costs such as one on one sessions with senior instructors would add up to be about $2841.

In total, if you were to travel, pay for food and lodging, plus the trainings themselves, you’d be looking at about $5,641 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-Hr. Self-Paced Online Teacher Training right now, you get lifetime access to everything you need to become a Qi Gong teacher for only $3997 when you pay in full.

That means for $3997 you get everything you need to become a Certified Holden QiGong Teacher, including $7,958 of program materials, and save about $2,144!

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 become 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 seated or laying 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 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.”

“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!

“Being  a Trager Practitioner and RN, I encourage my clients to try Holden Gigong 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 Gigong on you tube 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 my self 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 Gigong and they all have experienced positive changes in the 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 GrandMaster 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.

“I’ve entered another point of accelerated growth and can’t wait for more”

I’m thrilled to be doing this, it’s something I’ve been wanting for a long time, but felt slightly daunting, but now to be offered a teachers certificate … self-paced and lifetime access, what could be better!

Thank you from the bottom of my Tan Tien!

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 training 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 created 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.”
