About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Hi, I’m Martin and I am a traditionally trained qi gong practitioner and teacher. I first encountered qi gong in 2003. Practicing with a high school teacher and a few fellow students on our lunch break. The slow graceful movements and opportunity to touch into something beyond the mundane really called me to this practice.
Throughout my twenties I explored many different healing modalities and spiritual traditions but always found myself coming back to qi gong.
In 2021 I began my formal training with Dr. Michael Smith, which continues to to this day. I am also always on the lookout for other teachers, workshops and retreats to get different perspectives and insights into the vast world of qi gong.
There are so many aspects of this practice that intrigue, excite and inspire me to keep walking this path and have come to love it so much that I can’t help but want to share it with others.
Currently I think my favorite experience of qi gong is a state that arises of its own accord within practice where time and thoughts fall away and I am left flowing as life, for life, on behalf of life. Where peace, contentment, deep meaning, freedom and a true sense of belonging prevail.
When I’m not playing qi gong I enjoy tending my garden, spending time in nature, napping and sharing good food and company.
I truly look forward to the possibility of meeting and sharing this beautiful practice with you.
