This program offers a progressive path to deepen your practice and develop the understanding, experience, and confidence to teach within the Robert Peng Qigong system.
Tier 1: Master Key Qigong Foundation Teacher Training
Build a strong foundation through the core Master Key Qigong practices. Learn how to guide others, create balanced and engaging classes and workshops, and bring the teachings to life through your own practice and experience.
Tier 2: Further Teacher Training
Future programs will build on this foundation, offering focused teacher training in Yi Jin Jing, Four Cycles Qigong, Eight Cycles Qigong, and more.
Tier 1: The Master Key Qigong Foundation Teacher Training Certification
Eligibility for Tier 1 is based on two components: completed coursework and ongoing practice.
Course Requirements
Applicants must meet all three of the following:
Complete the foundational course
The Master Key: Qigong Secrets for Vitality, Love, and Wisdom
Complete at least one movement course
Complete or actively participate in one intensive program
The Way of Virtue: An Authentic Path to Spiritual Awakening
Professional Healer Training: The Inner Transmission of Qigong
Courses may be taken online or on-site. Students actively studying either yearlong program are welcome to apply without first completing it. Please describe your progress and regular practice in your application.
These requirements bring together a strong foundation, varied practice, and sustained, in-depth study.
Once you meet the course and ongoing practice requirements below, you will be eligible to join Tier 1: The Master Key Qigong Foundation Teacher Training Certification. Upon successful completion of the training and teaching assessment, you will be certified to teach all the practices in The Master Key Qigong series.
Ongoing Practice Requirements
Participants should actively participate in the teachings and practices of both Daily Energizer and Seasonal Qigong Empowerment (free or paid version) to maintain regular participation in their teachings and practices.
Why Ongoing Practice Matters?
Teaching Qigong requires more than learning techniques. Through consistent practice and seasonal cultivation, you deepen your understanding, embody what you have learned, and stay connected with the flow of Qi that supports your teaching.
Daily Energizer offers an ongoing opportunity to learn how I teach: how to adapt practices to different situations, explore an exercise in greater depth, blend exercises into a balanced one-hour session, and vary the guidance and subtleties of Group Healing. Through regular participation, you develop a feeling for the pacing, structure, and flexibility that bring a class to life.
With Seasonal Qigong Empowerment, complete at least one full practice for each Jieqi, or mini-seasonal period. In our Qigong tradition, these practices help us attune to the vast flow of Earth, solar, and cosmic energies, bringing the spine and internal organs into harmony with the changing seasons. They broaden our sense of connection with the universe and cultivate flexibility, responsiveness, and vitality.
Together, these programs reflect the traditional way of learning alongside a master—absorbing the subtleties through shared practice and experience, living what you have learned, and developing the confidence, sensitivity, and integrity to guide others.
Tier 2: Further Teacher Training Certification
Build on your foundation and expand your teaching through specific certification programs in Yi Jin Jing, Four Cycles Qigong, and Eight Cycles Qigong. Each program will explore the practice in depth and prepare you to teach it with clarity and confidence.
Eligibility is based on two components: completion of Tier 1 certification and ongoing practice.
