From the reviews

the program is easy to follow and so much to learn. David is so passionate about his life work and his passion and enthusiasm is contagious. the daily practice is life changing. i thought i would have to do an hour a day, but truthfully a few minutes of one or two moves can make such a difference in your day.

★★★★★ — Kandi, Aug 2024

I had been looking for a way to learn Qigong for some time before discovering Qigong Awareness. After completing the 21 day challenge and the prep course, I can confidently say that the instruction exceeded my expectations. Mr.

★★★★★ — Jesica, Jan 2026

I work full time as an acupuncturist and energy healer, and have practiced qi gong daily for years. While I already have an energetic focus and framework in my life, the Eight Brocades for Longevity workshop added depth, expanse and nuance to what I've cultivated so far.

★★★★★ — Jen, Jan 2025

I really enjoyed Level 1 Certified Qi Gong Instructor Training provided by Qigong Awareness. It combines qi qong exercises demonstration with very detailed explanation, theory lectures as well as medical qi gong treatment flow lectures with feedback from the person undergoing the treatment.

New to tai chi? Start at Qigong Awareness LLC

Qigong Awareness LLC comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first tai chi class at Qigong Awareness LLC

Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.

Tai chi is gentle and low-impact, but it's still exercise, and the health notes here are general information, not medical advice. If you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them to the instructor before class, and check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
