Presented by Lee Holden and Holden QiGong
When a reporter asked 100-year-old Ethel Allen of Springfield, Oregon, about the secret to her longevity, her answer was simple:
“Tai Chi.”
Ethel revealed she’d been practicing Tai Chi for about 20 years and firmly believes it's the key to staying active as she ages.
Do you want to age with vitality and grace… and perhaps even become a centenarian like Ethel?
Join the Tai Chi Online Course.
1. A 10-movement Tai Chi sequence that Lee created completely on his own. It’s based on his 30 years of experience as a Qi Gong teacher and Tai Chi student.
2. A 13-movement form he originally learned from Mantak Chia. It’s similar to his own but has several different movements at the end of the sequence.
3. One of the most widely practiced 24-movement Tai Chi forms on the planet.
All the sequences you’ll learn are Yang-style of Tai Chi. Yang style is the preferred practice of millions because of its slow, graceful, and continuous movements.
Qi Gong, with a history spanning over 5,000 years, is the ancient practice from which Tai Chi emerged 800 years ago. That’s why Qi Gong is commonly known as the “mother” of Tai Chi.
Qi Gong includes medical, spiritual, and martial styles. Tai Chi is one of the more popular martial styles that came from Qi Gong.
In this course, you'll learn three distinct Tai Chi sequences designed to enrich your physical and spiritual well-being.
Tai Chi and Qi Gong are like chocolate and peanut butter. Separate they are tasty, but together they create a delicious and deeply satisfying combo.
Qi Gong provides subtle movements to enhance energy flow, while Tai Chi translates that energy into fluid, purposeful motion for a dynamic exercise that enhances your mind-body connection and builds strength, mobility, flexibility, and power.
Additionally, when you practice Tai Chi, the uplifted and vibrant feeling you’ve cultivated in your Qi Gong practice gets amplified. Qi circulates more freely, resulting in an even more elevated state of being: energized, calm, and balanced.
In a February 2024 Harvard-backed study, researchers examined 12 Tai Chi studies involving 2,091 participants.
According to the research team, “New research review and analysis shows that tai chi can indeed induce greater improvement in functional mobility and balance in relatively healthy older adults compared to conventional exercise.”
The researchers also found that across the studies, the most effective practices were focused on the Yang-style Tai Chi form.
It’s not just Harvard… AARP and Mayo Clinic also agree that the #1 recommended exercise for people over 50 is Tai Chi and Qi Gong.

The first is a brand-new, 10-movement form Lee developed himself.
Lee has had the honor of studying under the world-renowned Qi Gong and Tai Chi teacher, Master Mantak Chia.
You can’t find this sequence anywhere else.
Experience the transformative power of Tai Chi with a form that Lee learned from Grandmaster Mantak Chia.
Lee will guide you through Mantak's unique 13-movement Tai Chi sequence.
It’s similar to Lee’s but has several different movements at the end.
This sequence is a short version of one of the most widely practiced Tai Chi sequences in the world.
Both Lee’s unique 10-movement sequence and this popular 24-movement sequence feature slow, graceful, and continuous movements.
If you’re looking for a Tai Chi practice that includes quick movements like kicks and strikes, this isn’t the best course for you.
You will learn each movement in sequential order. Since this is a self-paced, on-demand course you’re free to go at your own speed. Take as much time as you need between sessions to practice and hone your Tai Chi skills before going through the rest of the course.
Lee will also break the sequence down into small chunks. This way, you’ll nail the movements and never feel like you’re falling behind.
This course is great for practitioners of any skill level, but it is designed with beginners in mind.
This course is easy to understand and easy to follow along with.
By the end of the course, you will be able to effortlessly complete all three Tai Chi sequences and have the ability to practice them any time you want, at home, in the park, or wherever you’d like.
Unlock Your Psoas is a tailored Qi Gong routine that unwinds tension and builds strength in the psoas. Practice this routine to improve flexibility in your psoas, balance in your lower body, and a significant reduction in pain.
Tai Chi relies heavily on core strength for stability and fluidity. This routine includes gentle yet powerful Qi Gong exercises that fortify the abdominal muscles and improve posture.
By integrating the Qi Gong for Better Balance Healing Series Program into your Tai Chi practice, you’ll discover your Tai Chi movements and transitions will feel smoother, and you’ll feel more confident on your feet.

Lee is an internationally known master Qi Gong instructor and an expert in making ancient wisdom applicable to modern life. He is also a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, and successful author. He’s been featured on American Public Television and PBS stations throughout the U.S. and Canada.
With his DVDs, Public Broadcasting specials, classes, workshops, and teacher certification program, Lee has helped thousands of students maximize their energy, slow their aging process, and feel better than ever.
“I have spent my career as a Taoist scholar, teacher, and author - all those years and all those words spent trying to say what cannot be said and to express what cannot be expressed! Throughout that time the essence of the Tao remained primarily in my ego-conditioned mind. Even though I had practiced Taiji and Qigong all along, the forms remained mostly in the realm of conceptual thinking and conscious effort.
Finally, by committing to Lee’s excellent teaching I found the willingness to let the deepest part of my Shen take over the reins. The Tao has become a living encounter instead of merely a philosophy. My experience of the course has been an essential step on my own journey - following Lao-Tzu over the Hangu Pass and into the West.”
“So full of truth! These thoughtful words (from Lao Tzu) just made me step back a minute, take stock of things, take a deep breath and realize again that life is beautiful, if we let it be, just applying a few principles: simplicity, patience and compassion. And now, let me go practice!”
"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, the 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 oftentimes 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."
"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 Qi to flow through me, and to others.
"Thanks and Qi!!”
"Magic! Thanks so much. Many blessings and gratitude to the team for your service to the community. I am honoured. These classes are life changing and well received."
"It was one day ago that I posted photos of my 90-year-old parents practicing QiGong with Lee on YouTube. We want to say how deeply touched we are by the over 1000 responses that we have received from all of you. I read all of your heartwarming comments to them and we are so grateful for your kindnesses. It has made me aware of the vast 'Field of Qi' that this community creates with our practices.
"I would like to express my deep gratitude that 'Lee Qi ' has brought into my life. I had been through severe anxiety and depression because of my life situations. I've been doing two hours of Qi gong since September almost every day and here's my shift. I feel good in my mind, the negative thoughts are easily transforming to compost and I'm sleeping so deep. I have more energy. I'm eating happily. Please accept my deepest gratitude. Thank you for this huge transformation with such ease and comfort in just four months."
"Lee’s workshop was deeply moving. It felt as if so much gentle, shifting, internal work was going on; channels opening, releasing and healing movement happening. This feeling of being transported and rooted at the same time, all parts moving in graceful synchronicity, with such a deep feeling of well-being and connectedness to our inner self, to Lee, and to all who participated, seemed to be our individual and collective experience."
"I made a choice 10 years ago to take an energy healing class. Before that I had been deeply depressed, suicidal, addicted to Ativan and struggling to find help. The therapeutic model was not working for me and was keeping me in a state of PTSD and trauma. It took a lot of work for me to go out of the house and be around people.
Holden Qi Gong, Lee and all of the work you are doing is a huge part of this major healing that I am experiencing right now.
My heart is so full of gratitude for you all, for the wonderful work you are doing to share these amazing teachings with the world. Please know you are making a huge difference in so many lives especially during these times of fear and unrest."
Lee is a master teacher and I have learned so much from all, I especially love when he goes in depth in a workshop or course.
"Ten minutes after the class my knee and foot started throbbing with chi energy. It seemed to be melting tension after about 5 minutes the intensity stopped and all the years of pain washed away. I could feel the layers go like peeling of layers of rust. This was such an amazing spiritual experience. I realized there is so much love out there so please thank Lee for showing it to me. My life changed after that session. I realized so many things, one being I’m not in control of anything unless I listen to the Universe."

We asked Lee, and he shared: “Tai Chi is a perfect movement practice as a next step for Qi gong practitioners. It’s done in a sequence and challenges the mind and body to get stronger together. Tai Chi and Qi gong operate using the same principles—flow, move from center, cultivate energy.”
This course is perfect for you if you’re brand new to Tai Chi and want to learn from a trusted instructor with 30+ years experience, and do it from home. . It’s also great for you if you’re experienced, but you don’t have a teacher you trust or a teacher nearby. If you’re a long-time Tai Chi practitioner but you’ve stopped and want to get back into it, you can enroll and it would be valuable to you. Please know that a lot of what you’ll learn will be reviewed.
More than in our other courses, it's very important for you to practice what you’re learning in between the instruction videos. We recommend setting aside at least two one-hour sessions per week to practice on your own. This does not include any extra review time you want to do on the lectures.
You’ve already learned Tai Chi, that’s great! What makes this course and every Tai Chi class different is the teacher. As any experienced Tai Chi practitioner will tell you, it’s all about finding the right teacher for you. And with Lee, you already have one.
