The Teacher’s Path Mentorship
Opening to lifelong learning through study and experiential practice
100 Hours Over One Year of the 200 Hour Qigong Training (certification path)
Continue your studies as a teacher and practitioner.
This is where the longer relationship with Stephanie, the practice, and the community is built. The Teacher’s Path is a year-long mentorship, with much of the learning happening through self-paced practice and study. It is recommended that you practice at least three times a week and keep a practice journal throughout the year.
Each month there will be teacher meet-ups where we talk about practice, teaching, and a philosophical topic connected to the season. You are also encouraged to attend my weekly live classes, which are offered twice per week.
Our aim is to deepen skill development and inspire richer conversations around Qigong form, energetic anatomy, and philosophy. We’ll continue building fluency in Qigong forms while anchoring them in lived practice and teaching readiness.

Prerequisite: You can enter this part of the path at any time. For the Teacher’s Path Mentorship, it is recommended that you are already teaching something (it does not have to be qigong), or working with people in some professional capacity, otherwise we recommend being in the Practice Path for those on a more personal path.
