The Institute of Integral Qigong & Tai Chi (IIQTC) offers several levels of Qigong and Tai Chi certification:
Enthusiastic Citizen
This is not a certification, but a unique approach to sharing Qigong
with others. If you are enthusiastic about Qigong and the Healer Within
concept, have read books, attended lectures or workshops, or are simply
inspired to spontaneously begin sharing with others, then you qualify
as an Enthusiastic Citizen. This activity is founded in virtue
and is usually done for little or no compensation. The Enthusiastic
Citizen works with others to create a community of people who sustain
the practice of Qigong in their community. Visit
