Qigong for Breast Cancer Prevention
Two start dates. Morning and Evening over Zoom
Class Dates: January 24, 27 and February 7, 21. 9:30 AM (ET)
Our virtual workshops are a new approach to prevention as well as healing from breast cancer. We use Qigong movements to stimulate the body’s own healing mechanisms.
We start by teaching several Qigong postures and continue to refine the energy forms with each class. Next, we take participants through a how-to guide for adjusting diet and eating styles because the digestive system plays a key role in maintaining health. Then lifestyle is considered with an emphasis of reducing stress.
Using Qigong for health purposes has grown in popularity. It is a practice we encourage women to develop on a daily basis. To this end we provide participants a free video practice and a booklet on key points related to TCM rebalancing.
In our clinic and workshops women have effectively resolved a range of breast issues including breast tenderness, calcifications, and lumps. While others have used these techniques to heal from the after effects of chemo therapy and radiation. Our goal is not to replace Western medicine but to offer these practices as a complementary and preventative approach to health.
Medical Qigong practitioner Elaine Katen facilitates this training. Elaine has been privileged to study with Grand Master Lu in a unique classical internship for more than 22 years.

Message from the Instructors
Learning how to properly practice these Qigong movements is key to successfully sharing the practice.
Our deepest desire is to share this ancient healing wisdom with women everywhere. Normally, Qigong movements would not be taught in such a short period of time, however, with the growing incidence of breast cancer, it is imperative that passionate people demonstrate these movements to women.
Please note, this course does not qualify you as a Qigong instructor, rather an ambassador of goodwill able to share the teachings.
In 2006, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation funded this project which allowed TCMWF to produce and disseminate instructional DVDs. Today we continue to offer these materials as part of our training program.
