Next Steps

5th - 7th December 2025

with Sophie Johnson

We will continue to develop the work we began in the foundation course. The emphasis here will be on refining the work on the Kua and learning correctly the reverse breathing method. This needs time and attention as it is such a key aspect of the art deepening. Alongside this we will continue to prepare the body for effective Dao Yin, and what will become in the later stages, the opening the channels process.
