Practice.   Connections.   Outreach.

The true reward of teaching qigong is
seeing students look vibrant, calm, and clear after class.

Qigong Smile studio classes are at People’s Place in Kingston, NY on Wednesdays at 5:15 PM.

Since 2016, I’ve taught qigong and meditation in classes, workshops, weekend retreats, staff trainings, festivals, conferences and a college course for credit. (See below for details.)

I welcome email inquiries for any of the above services to Chris Brandon Whitaker at qigongsmile@gmail.com

For the variety of classes offered, please see the nine different forms I’m certified to teach.
