Your teacher
John Millar
After 25 years in IT, John burned out, with migraines several days a week. Researching stress led to a book, then a corporate training programme that ran for a decade, and now this course. The work underpins his collaborations with UK universities in integrative medicine.
What you need
Nothing. The techniques are built to work at a desk, on a train and in a difficult conversation.
What people say about this course
“Very well explained in a very expanded way.”
Suzanne Swift
“There are many courses on Qigong for stress and anxiety. Even though I am an experienced student of Qigong, and have only done two of these exercises, I can already see this course offers a different, very elegant approach. Very impressive.”
Beverly Chiu
“High quality course, informative and with some wonderful relaxing practices.”
Dr Astrid Andeescu
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from other Qi Gong for stress courses?
This course bridges the gap between Eastern philosophy and modern Western reality. It develops ideas and habits with a solid scientific basis that don’t dilute the origins of the practice.
How much time will I need each week?
You keep going until you find the benefit you are looking for, then you can stop studying. The first steps may take a week or two; after that the practice becomes a habit that shapes how you respond and takes no effort.
Will this work for my situation?
The course builds habits that are usable and accessible in everyday life, so they work in all kinds of situations.
What happens when I finish the course?
Our hope is that your relationship with stress and anxiety has changed and you are ready to move on. If you want to continue with Qi Gong, our community offers more training and daily online practice.
