Dao Qigong Life

Train the Trainer Program

One of the best ways to learn and achieve self mastery is to teach. We start with what we know and continue to develop our skill set as we go along. I have learned as much from my students and clients as I have from my teachers. Teaching provides an opportunity to witness, how a set of theories and techniques work in the real world to improve people’s lives.
There is an intrinsic meaning in this process. This truth brings great value to both the trainer and the student.
