Below you’ll find a step-by-step guide on how to progress as a Holden QiGong student with product recommendations for each Level of practice.
The Learning Pathway is presented in Levels to keep your ascension organized, but there is no single path to wellness. Your journey will be unique. We encourage you to explore and discover your optimal practice along the way.
At this level, you don’t have to know anything about Qi Gong. You only need a willingness to start your journey to improved health and wellness. We begin by exploring how to move your body in a meditative way with the Learning Series programs.
The Learning Series
Through gentle and rhythmic movement, you give yourself a natural energy boost, calm your mind, and deepen your connection to nature. The Learning Series is a collection of five programs focusing on concepts and movements of Qi Gong for new practitioners. Each program has a 20-minute routine, and an extended, 40-minute routine to create a strong foundation for your continued practice.
The Healing Series is a collection of 12 programs focused on addressing specific health topics like Anxiety. Heart Health, High Blood Pressure, Back, and Neck Pain relief. At just $27, these programs deliver healthy, lasting relief for less than a single doctor's visit copay.

Level Two: Video Class Subscriber
Now that you've been practicing for a month or two, your enjoying the energy you feel. At Level Two, building a consistent practice is the goal. This is a great time to add Live Video Classes to your growing set of Qi Gong wellness tools.
Lee hosts Live, Virtual Classes every week to keep your routine fresh, fun, and sustainable. Lee is at his best when he's teaching Live, and the Holden QiGong community is inspiring.
The Video Class Subscription is a monthly subscription where you get access to live and recorded classes with Lee. It’s the best way to deepen your Qi Gong practice over the long-run because you’ll get up to three new routines each week… plus you get to practice with the rest of the community (if you want to) during the live streamed classes.

Level Three
The focus in Level Three is to increase your ability to sense subtle energy shifts in your body and learn to interpret them. Deepening your life-force energy sensitivity by practicing consistently and staying on track.
This is an excellent time to explore online courses, like the Five Elements. The Five Elements Online Course is a healing framework you can use to recognize imbalances in your body, mind, emotions, and spirit… and heal them.
This also an excellent time to consider the Holden QiGong Teacher Certification Program. The Five Elements Online Course is one of core the requirements for teacher certification.
You understand basic Five Element Theory. You’ve explored at least one “named” Qi Gong form like White Crane or Five Animal Frolics. You’ve maintained your practice for at least six months.
Level Four
This is when things get really fun. Here you start learning to control Qi flow in your body.
You understand your energy on a subtle level, but here you learn how to control your Qi and move it on demand. This ability to move Qi on command catapults your practice and your inner healing potential.
