Qiflow: The Five Seasons Method teacher training program
QiFlow: The Five Seasons Method Online Teacher Training Program is a comprehensive exploration of the ancient practices of Tai Chi, QiGong, Breath-work and Meditation. The program not only delves into the profound teachings of these ancient disciplines but also equips instructors with the knowledge to teach in harmony with the seasons through the insightful lens of the 5 Element Theory of Chinese Medicine. By seamlessly blending both modern and traditional approaches to mindful movement, instructors will be empowered to cultivate creativity in designing and choreographing QiGong, TaiChi, and Breath-work flow sequences.
The online training offers a flexible and immersive experience, allowing you to access recorded classes at your own pace. Additionally, personalized one-on-one sessions with Leda ensure a deep understanding of the practices and solidify your learning. As an optional enrichment, teachers in training may also attend Leda’s live seasonal QiFlow classes online, an opportunity to experience the energy of the seasons in real time. The program is thoughtfully crafted to enable you to not only experience the flow of Qi but also to effectively teach others to do the same.
