The Rhythm of the Mentorship:

  • The Qigong Foundations program is a mentorship-supported journey designed to move principles, movement and energy cultivation beyond theory into lived, embodied experience. You’ll engage in self-paced study of Modules 1–3, building strong competency, understanding, and practical skills, while developing a personal practice that forms the foundation for teaching with clarity and confidence.

  • An ideal rhythm is 6+ hours per week of study and self-practice — a level of commitment essential for anyone aiming to teach and share Qigong with integrity.

  • Monthly, live, two-hour small group mentorship sessions provide space to refine form, embodiment, and energetic expression, while receiving personalised guidance. These sessions are where knowledge and practice converge, helping you cultivate awareness, integrity, and the confidence to bring Qigong fully into your own life — and eventually share it with others.

  • This program requires the completion of assessment tasks — including journals, quizzes and video demonstrations. My role is to support your development, provide guidance, consolidate learning and ensure readiness to receive the accredited Qigong Foundations 60-hour certification.

 
 

This is for you if:

  • You feel called to teach and share Qigong with others, recognising that authentic teaching begins with strong foundations.

  • You want to build the skills, understanding and confidence to guide others in practice from a place of lived experience.

  • You’re committed to developing genuine embodiment of foundational forms and principles.

  • You value a clear, integrity-based pathway toward teacher certification and accreditation under guided mentorship.

  • You want a supported structure that blends self-study, dedicated personal practice and small group mentorship.

  • You understand that there is no shortcut or “fast-track” to teaching Qigong — it requires consistent practice, personal refinement and inner cultivation.

  • You’re ready to engage fully in a journey that cultivates awareness, integrity and confidence, allowing you to share Qigong from experience rather than just knowledge.

You don’t need any prior experience. This mentorship is designed to meet you where you are — whether you’re just starting out or have been practicing for years. The focus is on cultivating a steady, embodied practice and understanding Qigong in a way that really lands in your body. I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way.

What happens during a live online session?

In a small group mentorship, the sessions are designed to provide guidance, refinement, and personalised supportrather than serve as the primary teaching method. While you’ll engage with online modules and self-practice independently, the live mentorship sessions give you the space to ask questions, receive feedback, and deepen your understanding — helping you fully integrate the practice and embody the teachings.

What’s the benefit of studying Qigong with an experienced teacher and mentor?

Receiving Qigong tuition from an experienced and accredited professional is important, because although it looks easy to copy and follow along on a video, the healing power of Qigong lies in its subtlety, points of distinction and flow.

ABOUT YOUR TEACHER

I’m Nicole Lee – an internationally certified Qigong teacher, trained in both Modern and Classical Qigong styles

My Qigong journey began in 2013. Since then, I have taught literally hundreds of Qigong classes and workshops, and have helped students all over the world become certified Qigong teachers.

I’ve studied Qigong form and philosophy with multiple masters and teachers, consistently for more than a decade. My own personal style has evolved as I have, my core influences are Lee Holden, Master Wang Zhi Peng, Roger Janke, Damo Mitchell and Marissa Newell.

I’m also accredited in meditation, mindfulness, energy healing and craniosacral therapy, and have a Bachelor's Degree in Complementary Medicine.

I’ve repeatedly seen this gentle practice transform lives — physically, mentally and emotionally.
