What Will You Learn?

Understand the Foundations of Energy Healing

You’ll begin with a broad overview of holistic medicine—exploring how Chi Gung fits within the wider world of complementary and alternative therapies. You'll learn about the differences between Eastern and Western healing models, and how energy movement is used to support wellness in practices such as acupuncture, Reiki, and reflexology.

From there, the course introduces core wellbeing techniques like meditation, visualisation, and self-reflection. These tools help you build awareness, still the mind, connect with your body, and create a strong foundation for energy work.

Dive Into the Practice of Chi Gung

With a solid base in holistic principles, you’ll shift your focus to Chi Gung itself. You’ll learn what it is, where it came from, how it has evolved, and how it is used today for healing, vitality, strength, and even spiritual growth.

Chi (or qi)—the vital life force that flows through and around us—is central to the Chi Gung practice. You'll explore how to sense, cultivate, and move this energy through your body. Through clear, practical instruction, you’ll master posture, breathwork, and gentle movement techniques that form the foundation of Chi Gung.

Explore the Five Elements and Energy Systems

Chinese philosophy links the five elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—to different organs and energetic qualities within the body. You’ll learn how each element relates to health and emotion, and how to use Chi Gung exercises to balance and support these energies.

From improving circulation and calming anxiety to promoting healing and building stamina, you’ll be introduced to a variety of movements and sequences designed to support specific health and wellness goals. Real-world case studies will help you understand the powerful impact Chi Gung can have in everyday life.

Prepare for Practice and Teaching

Before you begin any Chi Gung session, proper preparation is key. You’ll be guided through simple yet essential steps to prepare your body and energy system for practice. You’ll also learn how to open and close sessions with intention and mindfulness.

If you're inspired to share this healing art with others, the course includes a dedicated module on how to start your own Chi Gung business after lots of practice and we recommend practical training. You’ll explore the different ways you can work—whether privately, in group classes, or alongside other wellness services. You'll also gain practical insight into writing a business plan, understanding legal requirements, marketing your services, and confidently leading a class.

With comprehensive materials on complementary and alternative therapies and the theory and movement of chi, the Chi Gung Diploma Course is accessible to those who are completely new to this system of treatment. Seasoned practitioners of similar forms of treatment will enjoy the exhaustive detail and explanations of Chi Gung itself, its benefits, and how to practice its techniques.

The course will also be beneficial to those wishing to start a Chi Gung business, as it offers guidance on getting set up and tips for success.

This course also contributes towards your Continuing Professional Development (CPD), making it a valuable addition to your ongoing learning journey.
