I am a 71 year old retired yoga teacher/ caregiver. I have taken literally thousands of Qigong classes as time allows on line. I am a member of Marissa's Yogi site and practice it daily with gratitude. That;s where I first saw you a guest on her couples practice and looked you up. It was a one way turn. This Morning Dragon Qigong class is simply the BEST Qigong class ever on the planet. Just had to let you know. I am truly grateful.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. With gratitude, so happy to stumble for more qigong exercise, which is so important for our body. Qigong has definitely transformed my health and I am grateful for all of Qigong teachers out there that are sharing their knowledge. For me, Qigong is the key to age gracefully, healthy and strong. Thank you so much. 🙏

Oh I needed this, I have been with a stomach virus or something doe the last 4 days. . At 64 I started Qi Gong about 9 months ago and it has been such an improvement overall, Even my 2 horses and goats are thankful I do it. 😄. By the way I have been sleeping in a hammock for 5 years and sleep better as well. I am so thankful for you.

I am asthmatic and always exacerbate with more vigorous exercise. I started with Qigong not even 60 days ago and I am finding my overall exercise tolerance is slowly but surely increasing. It has also really helped with work stress and I can see how much more focused I am. Thank you.

Nick, this is a nourishing ritual. I feel calm, centred and yet more alive and that aliveness is contained which means it's not spilling over and then dissipating. I appreciate your gentle voice, without music. You do find some magical locations which means you probably need to hike a long way to get there and present your Taoist wisdom. Thank you for sharing your essence. (from Australia).

That’s amazing to hear, I’m so glad it affected you in that way :) This one was actually an unusually short hike 🤓 Just a 2 minute walk up from a Shinto shrine. They usually build them near a source of clean running water so it can be used in the fountains. Such a fun place!
