Here's exactly what you'll receive when you enrol...
Wild Goose Qigong 1st 64 | 前六十四式
Around 1,800 years ago, the Daoist originators of Kunlun Dayan Qigong, devised their style from the movements and qualities of the highly revered Da Yan / Wild Goose (thought to be the Bar Headed Goose). Designed into these movements were also the principles of Yì jīng 易經 the Bāguà 八卦, Jīngluò 經絡 and ancient Chinese medicine theory. Hence, a 128-movement form was created. The 27th Generation Grand Master Yang Mei June, later split the form into two halves, to make it easier to learn.
The Wild Goose Qigong 1st 64 (also known as ‘Front 64’) is part of the Foundational Dong Gong / dynamic exercises within the system. Based upon the Later-Heaven Bagua, it consists of 64 flowing movements and works on postnatal Qi issues. It is, in itself, a very comprehensive gong, suitable for everyone. When performed the 1st 64 it takes around 10-minutes to complete. Commencing Week 1, this is a 12-week course, with new video training being released each week. Currently 70+ videos, totalling 4+ hrs.

Wild Goose Qigong Wu Xing Jing Gong | 五行静功
The Wild Goose Wu Xing Jing Gong is the fundamental Jing Gong / meditation practice in the Wild Goose system. I prefer to think of this practice as ‘Cultivating Stillness’. You can practice this simply sitting on a chair. Jing Gong should be practiced in tandem with the dynamic Dong Gong exercises, as they mutually reinforce and promote the cultivation and internal mobilization of Qi. Wu Xing Jing Gong comprises five different methods, which can achieve ‘Small & Large Heavenly Circuits’ and strong external Qi fields. The first two of these methods are taught in this course; the Natural Qi Sinking Method | 自然沉气法 and Silently Spoken Qi Cultivation Method | 默念养气法. Contemporary research and neuroscience further recognize the benefits of regular meditation including; increased immunity, empathy, focus; improved cardiovascular health and stress reduction. Commencing Week 13.

Its moves are relatively less technical and physically demanding, making suitable for all ages and abilities, particularly for the elderly or those with a weak constitution.

The Wild Goose Qigong 2nd 64 (also known as ‘Back 64’), continues from where the 1st 64 (see above) leaves off and completes the foundational Dong Gong exercise. Its 64 movements are based on the Later-Heaven Bagua and works on deeper prenatal issues in the body. Whist, generally speaking the 1st 64 gathers and builds Qi, the 2nd 64 involves larger Qi field movements and expelling actions.

What Others Are Saying...
"I'd recommend Gregg to anyone interested in learning authentic Wild Goose (Dayan) Qigong. He is a good instructor. He has good knowledge of Dayan Qigong and TCM and is both calm and patient when he teaches. After spending a couple of years learning with Gregg, he helped me to go to China to learn from his teachers. It was something I'd always dreamed of! Dayan Qigong is one of the few qigong systems that still carries a lot of depth! It never seizes to amaze me as I continue to explore its movements and teachings! "
Adam Gibson
Qigong Instructor @ Lotus Dao, Lithuania
"I am a health care practitioner and have always had an interest in Chinese Martial Arts and Qigong. Having two children now, I really appreciate the time I have with them and want to be agile and able to continue to be an active part of their lives for years to come. This pushed me towards Wild Goose Qigong.
Practicing Wild Goose Qigong has much improved my stamina, confidence and overall well-being. I enjoy training and feel invigorated even after a short practice.
1-to-1 Online Coaching Sessions with Gregg have been great as they really pointed out where I had made errors, improved my skill and provided great motivation to take it on to the next level.
I highly recommend Gregg and his online Da Yan Academy - the videos are great and the explanations of the moves really easy to follow. "
