I frequently have people ask me if I could offer regular live online qigong classes, like ones you might attend at a local wellness studio.
While I’ve run livestream sessions at different times — particularly during the early stages of the COVID pandemic — I’ve never established them as a consistent, ongoing offering.
That wasn’t from lack of desire. It’s actually something I’ve wanted to do for almost ten years now, but the demands of developing and running Long White Cloud Qigong’s comprehensive qigong instructor certification programs, as well as regular travel for retreats and workshops has made this difficult to fit in.
But that is changing from now… Starting on the 27th of April 2026, I’ll be offering regular live online qigong classes, designed to support people in developing a steady, ongoing qigong practice.
Qigong Training — Different Approaches for Different People
At Long White Cloud Qigong, much of our work for the last several years has been focused on providing in-depth qigong instructor certification programs.
These programs serve an important purpose. They provide a structured path for developing a deep understanding of qigong, and they support people in sharing these practices as teachers within their own communities.
However, this type of training isn’t for everyone.
Instructor training requires a significant investment of time, focus, and energy to create a solid foundation of knowledge and experience to share with others from. For some people, that commitment is exactly what they are looking for. For others, it may not be practical — or simply not the right approach for them right now.
For many people a slower and less structured way to learn qigong online will be more suitable to their immediate needs.
A Flexible, Ongoing Qigong Practice
The live online classes will offer a much more gradual and flexible way to engage with qigong.
Rather than following a fixed curriculum, these sessions will allow you to:
- develop your qigong practice gradually over time
- explore a wide range of qigong exercises and methods
- build familiarity through direct experience
- allow the details and nuances of practice to emerge little by little
There is no pressure to keep up with a structured program. You can simply attend the sessions when it suits you, practice regularly from recordings, and let your understanding deepen at your own pace.
This approach lets the insights of regular qigong practice unfold gradually, and experience to deepen little by little over time.
Who Are These Online Qigong Classes For?
These live streaming qigong classes are suitable for a wide range of people:
- Beginners who want a gentle introduction to qigong
- Experienced practitioners who want to deepen their understanding
- People attending in-person classes who want additional support from the comfort of their home
- Those exploring qigong online before committing to a full training program
For some, these classes will become their main qigong practice.
For others, they may act as a supplement to existing training.
And for some, they may be a first step before eventually moving into more in-depth study when the time feels right.
The Value of Practicing Qigong Live
One of the key benefits of live online classes is the opportunity to practice together in real time.
This creates:
- a stronger sense of focus and engagement
- the experience of group energy, even online
- the opportunity to ask questions and receive guidance
- an interactive and supportive learning environment
This allows you to develop a sense of qigong community – wherever you are in the world!
A Growing Library of Qigong Practices
All live qigong sessions will be recorded and made available to subscribers.
Over time, this will create a growing library of guided qigong practices, allowing you to:
- revisit sessions you’ve enjoyed
- practice at your own pace
- access classes you were unable to attend live
- build a consistent personal practice between sessions
Subscribers will have access to all recent classes, along with a curated selection of key recordings from earlier sessions. This ensures the library remains practical, focused, and easy to use, while preserving many of the most valuable practices.

I’m excited to embark on this new phase of my qigong teaching with you. Just like coming to a regular class with me in a studio, but from wherever you are in the world! Together we will build a supportive community of practice, and deepen our awareness, appreciation, and skill with our energy ✨☯️!
You can also see me talking about the start of these live online qigong classes in a vlog here.
Yours in qi!
