  • What this course is8:31
    1. Understand why most resolutions fail due to the "Future-you illusion" and the pressure of dramatic change.

    2. Learn how this course flips the standard structure by prioritizing consistency over intensity and presence over expectation.

    3. Discover why this is a "completion course" designed to help one small habit take root.

  • Benefits of Qigong and the Two Forms in This Course4:20
    1. Explore Qigong as a grounded, practical tool for breathwork and attention training—no spirituality or "energy talk" required.


    2. Learn how slow movement signals safety to the nervous system, facilitating a switch from "fight-or-flight" to "rest-and-digest" mode.


    3. Get an overview of the two classical forms you will master: Two Hands Hold Heaven and Drawing a Bow to Shoot an Eagle.

  • How to use this course4:37
    1. Learn the recommended "slow" pace: two weeks per section, practicing three times a week to build sustainable momentum.


    2. Understand why the instruction videos are intentionally short and how this prevents "outsourcing" your practice and encourages personal embodiment.


    3. Discover how to use the provided materials, cheat sheets, and the "return-to-video" hack for deeper learning.

Requirements

  • No prior experience in Qigong needed. The course is intended for complete beginners

Description

About This Course

Stop setting resolutions that are designed to fail.

Most New Year's resolutions are built on a "Future-You" illusion—the idea that on January 1st, you will suddenly become a person who loves intense discipline and dramatic change. In reality, real change is small, quiet, and easily reversible.

This course is not an "encyclopedia" of 50 different Qigong forms. It is a minimalistic habit workshop designed to help you integrate a grounded, somatic practice into your actual, busy life.

Using a decade of experience in Shaolin Kung Fu and Qigong and combining it with professional habit coaching, I have stripped away the unnecessary mysticism to give you a practice that works directly with your nervous system.


In this course, you will master:

  1. Two Hands Hold Heaven: A foundational form for spinal health and breath coordination.

  2. Drawing a Bow to Shoot an Eagle: A practice for stability, focus, and internal tension management.


What makes this course different?

  • The "Anti-Binge" Design: This course is intentionally structured to be taken slowly. We prioritize consistency over intensity. Each practical section contains clear criteria of readiness to move on to the next one.

  • Instructional "Labs": You won't just mimic my movements. Through unique "Learning by Breaking" labs, you will learn to feel the principles in your own body.

  • Grounded approach: We talk about the Diving Reflex, Carbon Dioxide tolerance, and Attention Cues—not unproven energy theories.

Who is this for?

  • People who want the benefits of Qigong (calm, focus, mobility) but are put off by spiritual or mystical language.

  • Professionals who struggle to maintain "daily" routines and want a proven way to build consistency.

  • Beginners who want a safe, high-quality introduction to somatic movement.

What you get:

  • 16 Focused Videos: No filler, no rambling. Just clear instruction and psychological framework.

  • 7 Professional PDFs: Including the "Note for Bingers," "Safety Rules," and a guide to address initial discomfort.

  • A Lifetime Skill: A practice that can take as little as 3–5 minutes you can use anywhere, for the rest of your life.

Forget the "New Year, New Me" hype. Let’s build a habit that actually lasts.

Who this course is for:

  • People who want to complete one New Year’s resolution and actually cross it off their list
  • Busy professionals looking for a grounded, time-efficient mindfulness practice
  • Analytical or intellectually inclined learners who want Qigong explained in clear, non-mystical language
  • Burned-out transformation junkies who are ready to replace intensity with sustainable change
