The most densely populated state in Australia has its far share of citizens looking to get away from the stress and clutter of modern life, to do something that calms the soul and soothes the mind. And that’s where Qigong comes in. This ancient Chinese practice is a great alternative way to cure all that ails you, from mental health problems to physical pains and a great deal more.
One of the best places to study Qigong in Victoria, across Australia and indeed around the world, is Spring Forest Qigong Centre. This Qigong retreat is based in the United States, located in the state of Minnesota, but they offer a huge range of home-study courses that you can take when and where you want, studying at your own leisure. It was founded by Qigong expert Master Chunyi Lin, who continues to run the centre to this day, compiling their courses, working with students and creating the next generation of Qigong masters.
