NEW! THE five sacred guardians 

The Five Sacred Guardians with Mimi Kuo-Deemer is a transformative online qigong course that invites you to connect with the ancient wisdom found in nature and in the stars. Drawing from the rich traditions of Daoism and Buddhism, this course introduces five powerful guardian archetypes—the Green Dragon, Vermillion Bird, Yellow Snake, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise—each embodying essential qualities such as resilience, joy, transformation, courage, and protection.​

THE mindful dragon 

The Mindful Dragon with Mimi Kuo-Deemer is a 5-part course combining dragon-inspired qigong forms with mindfulness practices rooted in Buddhist wisdom to help you move beyond overthinking, reconnect to your body, and build inner resilience. Step into the energy and spirit of the dragon to face life’s challenges with a clear mind, well-resourced body and a strong, steady heart.​​

THE 18 FORMS

Qigong: The 18 Forms with Mimi Kuo-Deemer is a six-day exploration of this classic qigong sequence. No matter your age or abilities, the lessons and classes in this course will aid your posture, muscle tone, and range of movement – all without feeling taxing or putting stress on the joints. Regular practice of the 18 Forms supports vitality in the body, calmness and creativity in the mind, and transformational breathing. ​

the 8 brocades
Qigong: The 8 Brocades with Mimi Kuo-Deemer is a five-day course that teaches you this traditional qigong sequence alongside essential qigong philosophy. For centuries, practitioners have used the eight silken forms of the Eight Brocades to balance vital energy, align with the natural world, support the body’s organs and meridian systems, and live grounded, centred, healthy lives.
