Qi Elements is reopening for in-person classes. This message is about our Qigong classes as distinct from our Taijiquan and Taiji-Qigong classes. If you also expressed interest in Taijiquan or Taiji-Qigong you should soon receive that message. If you do not receive it, please notify me at qielements@qielements.com.
Our in-person classes will be held in our studio at 464 Herndon Parkway, Suite 215, Herndon, Virginia. We will also continue to provide remote learning via live streaming and video recordings. Fees for on-line attendance will remain “pay what you can” through September while we work out the technological issues of teaching in-person and on-line at the same time.
We will be resuming our Qigong classes and opening our Medical Qigong Exercise Program. If you would like to review the program’s content, click here. Our Qigong routines do not involve person to person contact.
We accept students with a range of interests from those who wish to pursue one of our formal programs of study to obtain instructor certification to those who wish to attend the occasional class for personal enjoyment and enrichment. Unlike Taiji classes, which are very sequential in learning, drop-in attendance is feasible for Qigong, if you just want to relax and follow the instructor. However, a commitment to serious study and regular attendance is necessary for acceptance into our formal program of certification in Medical Qigong Exercise.
We are offering in-person classes in Qigong on Saturdays 11 AM – 12 Noon and Wednesdays 6:30-7:30 PM and 7:30-8:30 PM. Each class will go live, in-person as soon as we have at least five students enrolled in each of those slots. The classes will cover Qigong routines from the Medical Qigong Exercise Program. We will add more times as demand and the pandemic situation permits.
The first and most important information you need to know about our return to in-person classes is our pandemic precautions designed to help protect everyone attending against COVID and other viruses. You can read and download a copy of the precautions here. All students and instructors must adhere to the precautions. All students and instructors must be fully vaccinated.
Second, our fee structure will be as follows. Quarterly tuition (13 weeks) for one hour of class a week will be $112, two hours/week, $224/quarter, and all three hours of Qigong per week $336/quarter. Quarterly tuition includes access to the library of instructional documents and videos up for the first level of the Medical Qigong Exercise Program. Drop-in fees for in-person Qigong will be $25 per class unless you purchase a discount package or join Qi Elements as a supporting member (more about this soon).
If you are interested in attending Qigong in-person classes, please fill out and submit our enrollment package found here. Email to qielements@qielements.com or use US mail to Qi Elements, 464 Herndon Parkway, Suite 215, Herndon, VA 20170.
Please remember to include a copy or scan of your COVID 19 vaccination record with personal information except for name blacked out. Here’s mine.
