Holden QiGong: The Breathwork Online Course

Course program

The Breathwork Online Course by Holden QiGong is an on-demand program taught by master Qi Gong teacher Lee Holden. Built around a five-module “breathwork path,” it guides students through ancient breathing techniques drawn from Qi Gong tradition, applied to modern life. The course is designed to use breath as a self-healing tool — cleansing the body, calming the nervous system, and supporting emotional and spiritual balance.

No prior experience is required. The course is open to Qi Gong, tai chi, yoga, and meditation practitioners looking for gentle ways to reach deep meditative states, as well as athletes, healers, and busy professionals who want practical tools to relax and perform. It also suits people working with restless sleep, anxiety, low energy, grief, or breathing issues who want to use breath as a daily practice.

The curriculum unfolds across five modules. Module 1 (Establish) builds a foundation by meeting the breath as if for the first time. Module 2 (Fortify) strengthens the body and immune system, using lung work to clear “pathogenic Qi” and transform emotions like grief and depression. Module 3 (Expand) develops capacity for deeper, fuller breaths and resilience for life’s challenges. Module 4 (Deepen) takes the practice into subtler territory, surfacing insights that guide personal change. Module 5 (Integrate) consolidates everything into routines you can use daily.

Beyond the modules, the course includes AM and PM breathwork routines for energy and sleep, key acupressure points to open the chest and lungs, and an ancient breathing technique similar to Tibetan Tummo to slow heart rate and quiet the mind. Lee also covers when not to over-breathe, nose-versus-mouth breathing, and breathwork techniques to prepare for more intense practices like Wim Hof.

The course is taught by Lee Holden, an internationally known master Qi Gong instructor, licensed acupuncturist, and herbalist. Lee’s Qi Gong programs have been featured on American Public Television and PBS stations throughout the United States and Canada. Through his DVDs, broadcasts, classes, and teacher certification programs, he has reached tens of thousands of students learning to recover from injury and illness and cultivate life-force energy.

The course is fully on-demand and self-paced — over 20 hours of instruction plus three bonus interviews, all delivered as pre-recorded video lessons. Students receive lifetime access to all course content and entry into an invite-only Breathwork online community. The pay-in-full option is offered alongside two- and six-month payment plans, and Holden QiGong includes a 30-day money-back guarantee from the date of purchase.
