    Episode 6 - Teaching Qigong in the West
    2026/08/18
    In this episode, we look at what happens when a lineage-based, form-first approach to Qigong meets a Western audience. John shares why so much teaching fills people up with instruction—remember this sequence, move correctly, focus here—when the practice itself is about letting go. We explore the difference between accuracy of form and effectiveness in application, why challenge doesn't have to mean physical difficulty, and how the process of a retreat begins the moment someone books it. We also open up the teacher training: why communication skills come before technique, why John doesn't teach form to trainee teachers, and what a five-month foundation actually needs to cover. The episode closes with three pieces of advice for anyone teaching Qigong—including why the best teachers are signposts, not destinations.
