- synchronicity of movement, along with an understanding and appreciation of the body's structure, traditional chinese medical concepts and taoist philosophy.
Course Format The course is run over two years in order to give students time to mature their practice and gain a comprehensive knowledge of Chi Kung. Each year there will be five 4 day seminars designed in order to deepen into the experience of the work.
Each day will be from 10.00-5.00 with a lunch and tea breaks. Attendance is mandatory. Any missed days need to be made up with individual tutorial sessions with one of the tutors.

Between seminars you will be given homestudy and expected to develop a daily Chi Kung practice for which you will be asked to keep a diary. After the first year you will need to set up a practice class for teaching Chi Kung in order to develop your skills of teaching and presenting. Assessment and Graduation Students will be assessed through continuous tutor assessment, self-assessment and submission of home study exercises and projects. Students will be graduated upon successful completion of all these elements and receive a teaching certificate. Insurance for teaching will be available.
