And certain practices can only be achieved (with any desired depth) through a direct in-person transmission process. All Red Thread certification trainings have in-person components for this very reason.

 Why Study With Red Thread?

A Medical Qigong Student Performing Healing Session

We’re Specialists.  We Teach Qigong.

Or rather, we teach better health, disease prevention, and sustainable wellbeing through self-reliance (or: Qigong, for short).

Our approach is fully informed through expertise in both the traditional practices of Chinese Medicine as well as modern medical knowledge.

If you’re looking for a Qi-yoga-ecstatic-dance-fusion class… You’re in the wrong place.

However, if you’re looking for depth—or mastery—of the profound practices of Qigong, you’ve come to the right place. 

And you’re lucky—because there are few options when it comes to this level of training (go ahead, do an internet search on that… We’ll be here when you get back).

Our Unique Approach Includes:

True Qigong Mastery

Knowledge is only potential. We aim to ensure that you actually know how to organize, integrate, and implement the knowledge gained—the opportunity to transform it from potential to reality.

At Red Thread, you can realize the applicable skill and understanding required of true mastery.

Inspired Well-being

True healthcare is so much more than mitigating disease.

Great health doesn’t need to cost a fortune. However, getting sick—especially serious or chronic issues—can get really expensive, really fast.

Good health saves you money.

Here you’ll have the opportunity to learn the actual skills that can improve your own health and inspire others to do the same.

Professional Credibility

Our Medical Qigong program is taught by a master instructor who is a Doctor of Medical Qigong and Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and licensed acupuncturist (who else would you trust?).

This distinction ensures authoritative training as well as the proper diligence for your personal safety.

Red Thread is a certified provider of continuing education training for healthcare professionals through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

Tailored Instruction

Direct access to your teacher and personal attention is vital to proper instruction—and it’s something that we strongly believe in.

At Red Thread, you’ll never see a live class of more than 20 students. This personal attention from a reputable teacher is designed to transmit proper training.

Safety & Care

Practitioner safety is our goal in every course we offer—from day one.

It is alarming that this sets apart in the field—but we believe your personal health and safety is essential to lasting success.

Capable, caring, and providing proper technique, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

Accountability

We hold our ourselves and our students to the highest level of standard.

We firmly believe that you can only help propagate true health and well-being in others if you thoroughly understand the process for yourself.

When you meet a graduate of Red Thread you can expect unparalleled skill—gained honestly.

“Wow... Profound.

Red Thread’s Qigong training quickly clarifies what is no longer necessary. Thank you!”
