Private Qigong Lessons

Qigong for Older Folks

My name is Revy, and I’m a board-certified and licensed Chinese medicine practitioner in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

Many people are familiar with acupuncture and Chinese herbal remedies, but most are surprised to learn that Qigong is also one of the traditional branches of Chinese medicine.

I’ve taught group qigong in multiple contexts throughout the years, but it never occurred to me to offer private lessons until a friend of mine told me that her 85-year-old father was interested in learning qigong.

After 2 sessions (1 hour each), my client was breathing, walking, and moving with more intention, stability, and confidence. By the end of 6 sessions, he barely relied on his walking sticks, was sitting more comfortably and with better posture, felt more confident on uneven ground, and developed a regular breathing practice which created a sense of calm in his daily life.

This experience showed me how transformative these simple practices could be for older folks.

Qigong developed in ancient China and has been practiced for thousands of years. It invites us into a new way of understanding health: not simply as an absence of symptoms, but as a living, responsive harmony between body, mind, and environment. The body is understood to possess a natural intelligence, and the deceptively simple qigong movements help the body return to this harmonious and vital state.

Qigong is low-impact and gentle and can be adapted for any level of mobility. Sessions are personalized to each client based on personal goals — for example, feeling more confident walking up the stairs, minimizing injury in all movements, developing a meditation practice, etc.

Based on my experience with my first ever qigong client, working together for six 1-hour sessions is an excellent way change the way you understand movement, posture, and breathing, and to create foundation that you can work on independently.

As of May 2026, I have space for 1-2 new clients for Private Qigong Lessons. Don't hesitate to reach out to learn more by sending an email to nineskiesonline@gmail.com or filling out the contact form. I’d love to hear from you!
