Ava and Deirdre’s training in Bali under a Master with 35 years of experience was not only transformative but immersive in every sense. Their over 500 hours of in-person training were integral to developing a deep, tangible understanding of Qigong—something that simply can’t be replicated online. In-person training allows for a direct, hands-on connection with the teacher and the energy itself. The subtle nuances of posture, breath, and energy flow can be felt and corrected in real-time, ensuring precision and authenticity in practice. The intensity and rigour of their training in Bali were designed to forge a true mastery of the practice—something you can’t achieve through a screen. The physical presence, the energy exchange, the immediate corrections—these are essential in learning a powerful and ancient modality like Qigong, where subtlety and depth make all the difference. This is how you will be taught—just as Ava and Deirdre were—through an in-person, immersive, and deeply transformative experience.
They teach Qigong in Harrogate, Leeds and overseas Qigong Retreats. There will also be a number of Guest Teachers in Qigong and TCM/Meridian Theory.
