The certification can be done locally or remotely and either way you get this incredible archive of videos of a very potent variety of qigong focusing on longevity with ancient roots.

I went to one and everyone there was either a Qigong teacher or Daoist priest, it was very special. I am almost done with my Qigong certification course and I recommend it for its value and for the virtual and local communities Shifu Michael has created.

He's…read moreknowldegeable, demonstrates and explains each practice beautifully and slowly so you "get it and feel it deeply within," he is heartful and wise, he is just a lovely human being. I started a month ago and I love it so much I truly want to attend all classes and keep up my practice. I had a yoga practice before this but my body is responding much better to Qigong... it is more grounding and gets me out of my head and more deeply into my body. I cannot say enough good things about this gentle, wise man. He is as much a teacher of Life as of Qigong. And his online classes are affordable, especially for the expertise he offers. Suitable for elders and those who find "regular exercise" not quite right. Gentle and grounding. Love!!!

It has been an exciting, transformational journey learning Wild Goose Qi Gong from Sifu Adam…read moreWallace this past year! His teaching style is brilliant, thorough and motivational as I look forward to passing each set and advancing to next one. He teaches an ancient lineage of Qi Gong that dates back to Taoist monks who, in their quest to reach purity, balance, health and enlightenment, imitated the movements of Wild Geese. I find this so interesting and transcendent! As I go through each set I feel the spirits of these previous masters carrying on within me! Sifu is truly a gem and my wife and I have greatly benefited spiritually, physically and mentally

Sally is awesome! I've had acupuncture off and on from various practitioners, for various issues…read moreover the years, and Sally is by far the best I have found. She is truly top notch. I had been suffering from chronic, work related, hand and arm pain for months. It was pretty severe and was keeping me awake at night. It had also begun interfering with my ability to do my job. I felt like I had tried everything and was beginning to resign myself to just pain management, without hope of actually getting better. Sally recommended a schedule of twice weekly visits for 4 weeks. However, after only 1 treatment my pain was significantly reduced and I was sleeping through the night with no issues. After only 3 treatments my pain was completely gone! Now, I'm just on a maintenance plan to keep everything in check. Really amazing stuff. Sally has a quiet and compassionate manner. She listens carefully and makes helpful suggestions that I can implement easily on a daily basis. She receives my very highest recommendation.

With his mother's total agreement he swung the bat, aiming directly at her back shoulder and hit her with a good amount of force. To my amazement she turned around with a big grin on her face. She felt no pain. The sensation was quite the opposite and actually invigorated her. I could see in her face and hear in her voice that she had somehow become more alive. I was intrigued, to say the least. Since that day 4 years ago, Qi gong has become an integral part of my life. The Jingui method along with stellar instruction and guidance has benefited my life in deeply meaningful ways. Qi Gong has been the impetus for my physical, mental and emotional transformation. I believe this training is quite profound in its ability to achieve its most basic objectives: health and wellness. What it offers in addition to that is incredibly powerful. Darren creates a fun class environment and has thoughtfully supports each student throughout the entire process. He is completely free of judgement and completely full of praise. His big heart and authentic character are a testament to the training itself. The best way to learn more is to check out one of the introductory classes held in Corte Madera or Santa Cruz. The schedule is posted on the website.

I have been suffering from extreme fatigue for over a decade (amongst other things). I've been to…read moreso many western specialists who have dismissed my symptoms as "nothing" or concluded that I might be crazy and in need of a therapist. After decades of seeing a variety of western doctors and not getting any reprieve despite the hundreds of different meds they have given me, nothing has improved. In fact, I just got worse. Year after year, other disturbing symptoms started to show up and physically my body was showing noticeable changes of gradual decline. This downward progression should not be too alarming if I was at an age where the body's slow organ function was considered normal (though that's even debatable). However, I am still young which made this decline into dis-ease even more prominently disturbing. One day, a friend recommended that we both see Dr. Li. At that point, I was open to trying anything that would give me any sort of glimmer of hope of a recovery. I was anxious to see him and to see what he had to say. At the first meeting, he took my pulse and stayed still as if listening (and yet he was just holding my arm). After a few minutes, he looked at me and said, "You look strong, but your body is weak." In his gentle and reassuring way, he confirmed everything that I was feeling. I almost cried with relief. Here was this humble and yet intuitive doctor who confirmed with me that my symptoms are real and that I was not crazy. The immediate support was overwhelming. My acupuncture sessions with Dr. Li began in earnest and I have been seeing him once a week for the past four months or so. Why so long? I have a ton of healing to do - years of accumulated stress and physical disrepair to mend, so it will take me a while. Every body is different. Not everyone can expect instant healing after a few sessions. You have to invest in yourself and be patient. I also commute an hour to an hour and a half just to see him (one way). Might be too far for most, but worth the commute for me. I show up every week for the acupunture treatments and depending on what my body needs, then I take a variety of herbs (pills) that Dr. Li recommends that I take. Herbs are so much better - all natural and easier for the liver to process. After the first couple of treatments I have felt a burst of energy that I haven't felt since I was in my teens. I also sleep so much better now. I can finally sleep soundly period. I digest food better and overall just feel such an improvement in my general well-being. Mind you, I am far from being completely healed, but the positive results pushes me to continue on with the sessions. Dr. Li is amazing and kind and compassionate. That in addition to him having full knowledge of how the body should function and what organs need healing make him a brilliant doctor. Don't be shy about asking him questions. He is more than happy to explain anything and everything to you. If you want to explore natural healing, do yourself a favor, and make an appointment with him. You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
