YOQI TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM
YOQI® is BOTH A TRADITIONAL AND PROGRESSIVE METHOD of mindful movement that supports your creativity to design Qigong Flow routines & be a channel of light.
The YOQI® Training Program is an in-depth study into the practice of Qigong, Neidan, Daoist Yoga, Pranayama, Buddhist and Daoist meditation. Included in the course are exercises, lectures and tools for self-healing, stress reduction, energy enhancement, emotional balance and spiritual insight. You will learn the fundamental principles of Qi regulation, Internal Alchemy and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and how to apply them to design your own Qigong Flow routines for personal health and healing goals.
The YOQI® Training Program consists of online coursework and live immersion learning in person with Marisa (both the online course and live training is required). It is designed for you to experience the natural unfolding of your internal power, based on classic Qigong forms and Traditional Chinese Medicine principles. The program follows the Six Phases of Qi Flow, a method designed to train you how to effectively sense, feel, transform and work with Qi (life force energy/prana) and teach others how to do the same. Through repetition of the Six Phases throughout each module, deeper layers of experiential and intellectual learning can be integrated with ease.

UPCOMING LIVE IMMERSIONS
“The Yoqi Module 1 live immersion exceeded my expectations! Through Marisa and Pavel’s tremendous dedication I was able to connect to my Qi in ways I didn’t think possible. Their beautiful humble energy shines through their practice and they abundantly share! “ - Elizabeth Miller, USA
“YOQI MODULE 1 (Qigong Flow ) Live Immersion provides comprehensive instruction in the fundamentals of Qigong with live instruction in a group setting. The immersion faciilitates deep energy experience via a wide range of physical and meditative practices, and is a valuable complement to the YOQI online course material. "Qigong Flow" is a dynamic and vibrant style of Qigong with signature "progressive loops" and smooth transitions which heighten the experience of Qi and make it a joy to practice and to teach.” - Lorraine Robain, USA
“Ik voelde me bevoorrecht om deze training bij Marisa Cranefill te kunnen volgen. Twee jaar geleden waren haar oefeningen het geen waarvan ik weer vrolijk werd. Ik zat midden in een overspannen en depressieve periode, waarin ik kampte met vele stressgerelateerde klachten, schouderpijn, hormonale klachten en later ook vreemde allergische reacties die ik nooit eerder had gehad. Een half jaar geleden besloot ik zelfs om m'n baan als leerkracht op te zeggen en andere mensen te gaan helpen met de soort klachten die ik had. Ik ben vastberaden om dit te bewerkstelligen. Van niets meer kunnen, niets meer durven, geen zelfvertrouwen meer hebben, voel ik me nu sterk genoeg om mijn eigen Qigong flow praktijk te gaan opstarten. Marisa is precies zoals in de youtube video's, vriendelijk, duidelijk en zeer inspirerend, haar woorden komen altijd op een hele prettige en warme manier binnen. Ik hoop haar visie en filosofie op mijn manier uit te dragen aan alle mensen die ik in mijn omgeving hiermee kan helpen, om welke reden dan ook.” ☯️ Diane Zuiderwijk, Thuisreis.nl - Diane Zuiderwijk, NL
“Marisa has an eye for beauty, her energy permeates everything from the course material, the presentations and the exercise flow. Her loving kindness and deep mastery of qi gong makes her training highly recommended. So grateful to have studied with her, life changing experience!”- Catherine Atwood, Canada
