What is Shen Gong?
Shen Gong is a lesser-known stream of Daoist tradition. It is the skill of the Self — essentially knowing and developing who you are.
Shen Gong is the bridge between Qigong and Neigong — in essence its the way, or Dao of the heart.
The practices of Shen Gong combine Qigong form and movements with breathwork, meditation and reflective, contemplative study.
Together, this creates a deeply connective mind-body practice, which can evolve consciousness and transform your life and the lives of your students.
Shen Gong practices help us to balance our emotions, mind and spirit, and the flow of those energies within.
Why add Shen Gong to your teaching toolkit:
Learn how to hold students in both time and space as they step into the deeper work of self-development, safely supported by you as their teacher.
Understand when to bring in Qigong forms and physical movement to help shift and somatically express energy - because it’s not enough to only be in the intellect when doing transformational personal work.
Gain skills to help people live in harmony with their emotions, foster true inner peace and access authentic expression.
The ideal extra healing modality for wellness-based practitioners, such as yoga & Pilates teachers, acupuncturists and nutritionists.

ABOUT YOUR TEACHER
I’m Nicole Lee – I teach and mentor individuals in Qigong, Shen Gong, and Daoist Meditation helping them develop life-nurturing practices.
Qigong enhances the body's energy flow, while Shen Gong addresses the psyche's energy to resolve emotional experiences and symptoms of imbalance.
Throughout my journey as a Qigong teacher and mentor, I've repeatedly seen these gentle practices profoundly transform lives — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Working with people to help them evolve, expand and uncover more of their true self is a part of my work that really lights me up.
