Qigong Awareness: Qigong Instructor – 200 Hr

Course program

Qigong Instructor – 200 Hr by Qigong Awareness is a fully online, self-paced certification program that prepares students to teach Qigong classes and workshops rooted in the Medical Qigong tradition. The curriculum is structured across four progressive levels, each 50 hours, culminating in the Certified Qigong Instructor (QI 200) credential.

The program is for complete beginners and experienced practitioners, including acupuncturists, massage therapists, chiropractors, yoga and martial arts instructors, Reiki practitioners, healthcare professionals, and laypeople who want to teach Qigong or integrate it into an existing practice.

Students study eight unique Qigong flows suitable for leading one-hour classes, along with the energetic anatomy that underpins the practice — including the chakra system, the three dantians, and a selective study of acupuncture meridians and potent points such as Stomach 36 and Yin Tang. The curriculum emphasizes deeper energetic anatomy over exhaustive point study.

By Level IV, students learn to structure and deliver two-hour Qigong workshops. The program also introduces over thirty Medical Qigong treatment techniques and includes both hands-on and hands-off healing methods. An optional Level V (MQP-300) extends the training by 100 hours for those who want to earn the Medical Qigong Practitioner certification.

The program is led by David J. Coon, a Medical Qigong Master, head instructor, and co-founder of Qigong Awareness with more than thirty years of clinical and teaching experience. His background includes a psychology degree from the University of Connecticut, three years of molecular and cellular biology study at the University of Colorado, professional counseling experience, and black belts in Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Kenpo Karate. He is the author of Qigong For Beginners: Your Path to Greater Health & Vitality.

The training is delivered entirely online and is fully self-paced, with ongoing access to all materials and multi-device support. Students progress through each level at their own pace, with direct access to the master instructor and downloadable handouts. A typical student completes Level I in about one year and the full four-level program in two to four years. Level IV culminates in a two-hour teaching workshop.

    In the last year since taking this course, I've literally healed my back, and lost 40 pounds! At age 52 I'm healthier now than I have been in years.
