Qigong Academy Podcast

Are we empowering students or building business empires? Dive into the real heart of Qigong practice.

In this episode, I sit down with John from Qigong Academy to challenge the traditions, hierarchies, and business models shaping modern Qigong. We dig into the real vision behind Dr. Pang’s teachings, exploring how authentic practice can get lost amid commercial pressures and guru culture. As we share personal stories and hard questions, we ask what it truly means to make Qigong accessible, non-hierarchical, and transformative for everyone. This is an honest conversation about unlearning, empowerment, and the delicate balance between running a sustainable academy and staying true to the spirit of Qigong. Join us as we rethink what it means to teach, learn, and live Qigong in the West.
