Join Marisa Cranfill and the YOQI ® team for a life-changing 10 days in the majestic mountains of Georgia. Learn how to connect to nature in nature. The YOQI ® Module 1 Training Program is an in-depth study into the practice of Qigong, Taoist Pranayama, and meditation based on the YOQI yoga + qigong system. Included in the course are exercises, theoretical lectures, and tools for self-healing, stress reduction, energy enhancement, emotional balance, and spiritual insight. The program uses the Six Phases of Qi Flow, a method designed to train you how to effectively sense, feel, transform, and work with qi (life force energy/prana) and teach others how to do the same. In one phrase, this program teaches you the theory and practice of Energy Medicine. 

While the atmosphere is one of relaxation and nourishment, this is an accredited training program meant to cultivate discipline, and willpower to refine your skills to practice and teach qigong. Each day of the retreat will begin with an active morning YOQI ® Qigong Flow class followed by a silent meditation. Morning practice will focus on yoga + qigong purging exercises and dantian qigong. Lectures are accompanied by experiential learning techniques and the daily afternoon sessions are structured as workshops with interactive groups and adjustments. Mid-way through the week, we will take a half day off for integration, reflection, and/or an excursion of your choice. To support your training, a buffet of healthy organic meals will be provided. In between sessions enjoy social time with fellow students, relax at the teahouse, trek to the waterfall, or simply put your feet up and bask in the pure air of the forest. Selected evenings will have optional events such as dance and other shared activities.

You will be provided with a YOQI ® Training manual and bean bag. In addition to training materials, it is mandatory to follow the YOQI ®M1 On-Line Video Course as a preparation and follow-up review to the live immersion. The On-Line Course is a valuable resource to ensure that you have access to all of the training information to review even after the 10-day immersion has ended.
