Live CEU Workshops – Reducing Acute & Chronic Inflammation

Acupuncturists & Massage Therapists Earn 15 CEU/PDA

Join Us Live! Experience The Magic of Qigong!

What to expect from a workshop?

These Live Intensives in Medical Qigong will be taught by Medical Qigong Master David J. Coon, the author of Qigong for Beginners: Your Path to Greater Health and Vitality. These workshops will be hands-on and experiential teaching the ancient practices of Qigong as well as ancient forms of meditation and practices of Medical Qigong.

Master Coon has been practicing Qigong and Martial Arts for over thirty-five years. He holds black belts in Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Kenpo Karate. In his teens and twenties, Master Coon used Qigong to heal his spine of a degenerative spinal disease that the doctors said would cripple him.

Master Coon is also a Medical Qigong Master and will be teaching students to use Medical Qigong – a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine to bring greater healing to their patients. You will learn Qigong exercises, Medical Qigong Treatment Techniques, and potent meditations for healing the mind and body.

These workshops are designed for laypeople as well as health care professionals. Most Acupuncturists will find these intensives very beneficial and applicable to their professional practices. Massage therapists and Yoga teachers will also benefit greatly from these practices gaining advanced knowledge regarding this form of Qigong, giving them the ability to teach this set to their clients and students.

What will you learn?

In this intensive, you will learn both Qigong Exercises to teach your clients or students and Medical Qigong Treatment Techniques to support the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Our students have both healed their own conditions and exponentially increased their patients’ healing results using Qigong.

  • Learn Qigong Exercises
  • Learn To Teach Qigong Exercises
  • Learn Medical Qigong Treatment Techniques
  • Learn Meditations For Healing The Mind & Body

Who Should Take It?

TAKE: Acupuncturists, Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, Qigong Instructors, Yoga Instructors, Martial Arts Instructors, Reiki Practitioners, other professionals, and lay people are welcome to attend. No prerequisites are needed.

RETAKE:  We encourage students to take this workshop more than once to achieve greater mastery. Your credit hours will be counted towards future Qigong Awareness Programs certifying students as both Qigong Instructors and Medical Qigong Practitioners.

He has taught and lectured around the country to both lay people and professionals about the healing power of Qigong. David’s Qigong practices are now being practiced around the world. They are simple, effective and can be practiced by anyone at any age.

David put together a powerful sequence of easy to follow exercises…

David put together a powerful sequence of easy to follow exercises that move body, mind and energy. I highly recommend David's Qigong workshop.

David enlightened me with his wisdom and teaches lessons for a happier and healthier life.
Since attending the workshop, I have incorporated the Qigong exercises into my daily morning routine and I notice positive shifts on many levels!

And you absolutely must-read: Qigong for Beginners!

Verena Martin - Charlotte, NC April 27, 2020

The techniques were so effective in my practice I decided to take it to the next level and become one of their certified instructors.

Master David J. Coon and Tanya Mei-Tai Coon, LAc. provide highly educational and informative platform that not only enhances one's 'medicine bag' for patients and clients but for oneself as well. This course, as do the other courses offered by Qigong Awareness, provide a class that not only allows beginners to feel comfortable learning and trying something new but challenges those who are more experienced to take Qigong and its healing effects to the next level. The techniques were so effective in my practice I decided to take it to the next level and become one of their certified instructors.

I feel so much gratitude for this amazing work…

I feel so much gratitude for this amazing work, your flexibility allowing me to make it really work for me with greater ease and the timing.. how it all evolved these last few years. This online version is so much easier for me to follow and you both have worked so hard to get out this amazing information that is transformational to my body and life, and soon my livelihood. The notes on the meaning of the various back pain situations are so much more detailed and helpful than I have seen before. I have taken the opportunity to read David's book 3 times now, and the combination of all these things is making much possible for me on all levels of my being.

I now look forward to more healing and sharing this with many people. I was part of the wave of massage starting 35 yrs ago, I can now look forward to being part of the wave of Qigong becoming accepted and commonly practiced. I too envision this future. Thank you Tanya and David for making this possible for me, and for me to share it, through your accessible programs.

David is a game-changer…

Student Shares After Completing: Live 5 CEU Webinar: Medical Qigong & The Eight Brocades For Longevity

Whatever the alchemy was that drew me to David as my Master - I’m ever so grateful.
It appears as though he sees your soul because he has the ability to always have just the perfect thing to say at just the perfect time.
I’ve stopped wondering how he does it and I have just accepted that he is so far ahead of me. He already knows where I’m going and more importantly where he knows I need to go. I just accept and move in that direction trying to take in all the knowledge he shares. I also implement the practices that he knows works, through his own experience.
It’s been years now that I’ve taken his classes and been the lucky recipient. Many many times his wisdom has helped me when I needed it most.
He is most generous with his years of accumulated knowledge.
I also often refer to his book - and keep it with me at all times. His book is loaded with practical places to start changing your life. He doesn’t just teach Qigong moves. He explains why you’re doing these moves and how it benefits you physically and spiritually - he has reasons for everything.
David is a game-changer - he’s a Master who truly lives what he teaches, count yourself very lucky if you found his courses, his CEU’s, his book, his monthly long-distance healing, or youtube instructional videos - then take a deep dive on what he teaches, because he speaks the truth.

Student Shares After Completing Medical Qigong & The Eight Brocades Live 15 CEU Workshop

This intensive workshop was – intense!

I have participated in many of David’s live Medical Qigong Workshops. Each time I have come away with a deeper awareness and understanding of the powerful energy in all of us. How, with Qigong and meditation, we develop the ability to connect and work with that inner power to unblock and heal mind, body, and spirit, David’s teaching is both practical and profound. He communicates his vast knowledge with eloquence, humor, and compassion.
Deep gratitude David, for your unique, inspired teaching.

Kai Baylis student of Qigong Awareness shares about Private Retreats, Live Workshops, Online Certification Program - Massage Therapist

True master. Like a real deal master!

Student Kai Shares after completing two Private Retreats with David J. Coon

I first met David through Live CEU Workshops for massage therapists, which was of great benefit. I quickly realized he was sharing something very potent. I chose next to take the Level 1 Qigong Instructor Certification Training Program. This took me to another level of personal integration. After witnessing some inner transformation of myself and those I’ve shared this art with, I opted to do private coaching calls and private retreats with David.

I can not express the potency and deep integration this has been for me. I was seeking safety in my own body (among other topics) as a woman in this world. I feel safe enough but also had this old story of not being safe. And frankly, I was mad about it. After working with David in only 2 private retreats, I have to say I have a DEEP sense of calm and knowing of safety I did not think was possible. David is a true master. Like a real deal master! If you are ready for a shift, get personal time and attention in a private retreat and bask in his vibration.

a heartfelt thank you!

Student Shares After Completing Live 15 CEU Workshop in Asheville, NC

I feel such immense gratitude for your family and the space you all hold. It is evident in how tuned-in you all are. Even Bella is so obviously centered and well-poised inside herself at just 12 years old.
.
I just wanted to let you and David know how much I enjoyed the Qigong Workshop this past weekend. It was so refreshing to be reminded of how accessible health and vitality are when we simply bring our breath, intention, and energy to the body. There are many layers to my appreciation... and so much I could share.. but for now, I will simply say a heartfelt thank you! This really means more to me than you both could know... and I intend to follow this path with you all, for myself and humanity.
In Joy,

Aurora
