Taiji Qigong Shibashi Set 1 Teacher Training Bundle

There's a moment I see happen in almost every 1-1 session.

We make one adjustment. Sometimes it's the angle of a movement. Sometimes it's where the breath initiates. Sometimes it's a small shift in how the weight is distributed.

And the student says: "This feels like a completely different movement."

From the outside, almost nothing changed. From the inside, everything did.

That ability — finding the one adjustment that transforms the whole body — is what separates a Qigong instructor from a Qigong teacher. And it's almost never covered in teacher trainings, because you can't learn it from choreography alone.

This program teaches it.

The problem no one talks about

When you can't feel the internal effect of your Qigong practice, you have no way of knowing if your memorized theory matches your movements effect.

You can teach the same movements for years, with the same words, the same demonstration, the same theory, and never realize that what you're describing and what's actually happening in the body are two different things. If the internal sensation isn't there, neither is the reference point that would tell you something is off.

This is how choreography gets passed on as a "complete" system. No one intends to teach an incomplete version. But without the felt sense of what each movement actually does inside the body, there's no way to know what's missing.

The Taiji Qigong Shibashi system Professor Lin Housheng created has that internal feedback built into its foundation. Every movement has a specific structural purpose, a breath method, and a felt effect that tells you whether you're doing it correctly or not. When those three align, you know it. Your body tells you.

That's what this training transmits.

Who This Is For

Practitioners who want to become teachers and want to start with the complete foundation rather than fill in gaps later.

Teachers and therapists who already teach, hold certifications, and have felt the ceiling of what their training covered.

Serious practitioners with no interest in teaching who want the depth of a complete system that group classes and self-study have not provided.

Several people who come into this training have decades of practice behind them. What they find is not a correction of what they learned before. It's a layer that was simply never part of what they received.

Why a 3-week intensive training won't get you there

There's a model that's become standard in the wellness world. You go away for a month. You do an intensive. You come back certified.

It works for some things. Qigong isn't one of them.

What you're developing here isn't knowledge. It's a physical transformation, in how your body holds tension, initiates breath, distributes weight, and perceives internal sensation. That transformation doesn't happen on a schedule. It happens gradually, through repetition, over time.

Compress the same material into three weeks and you'll leave with a lot of information and very little integration. A year later, most of what you learned will be a memory. The body simply hasn't had time to change.

Work through that same material over months, practicing, integrating, coming back with questions that only arise from real practice, and the transformation has time to take root. You come out further ahead, because what you learned actually became part of who you are.

This is why this teacher training is built the way it is.

How the training unfolds

Phase 1. Learn the complete Set 1 system.

The 40-hour pre-recorded Set 1 Master Course covers every movement in full: structure, breath mechanics, Qi perception, entering tranquility, and integration. Two distinct layers. The first takes you through all 18 movements with enough depth to establish correct form. The second goes deeper into breath, Qi sensation, clinical application, and the principles that make each movement work from the inside out. Sessions run 7 to 15 minutes so you can move at a pace that allows genuine absorption rather than just accumulation.

Phase 2. First private session at the halfway point.

Once you have learned all 18 movements, you book your first session before continuing into the second layer. This is where real internal improvements happens. Most students discover tension patterns that have been present in their practice for years, sometimes decades. We address them so they can go deeper.

Phase 3. Nine more private sessions, spaced to your integration.

Across 10 total sessions on Zoom, each recorded for your review, we refine form, embody the principles, and develop the kind of teaching capacity that only comes from sustained direct correction over time. The pace adapts to you. Some students meet weekly. Others every two weeks or monthly. The sessions are spaced to match where you actually are, not where a syllabus says you should be.

There are layers of teaching I can only offer once a student is ready for them. Readiness shows up in a specific way: the question comes from the student, not from the curriculum.

Phase 4. Certification when your form is ready.

The exam is pass or retake. You demonstrate your form. We continue until the standard is met. There's no fixed timeline because everyone's starting point is different.

In the first teacher training program in Montreal, there was a man in his 60s with years of external martial arts experience, with a body that had built tension for decades. By the end of the first year, it wasn't yet clear he would meet the standard. He didn't stop. By the second year the fluidity in his body had changed completely. By the third, he had all his certification and his skill had exceeded what we initially expected. He just needed the time his body needed.

That's the standard the certificate reflects. Not a theoretical curriculum. A transformation that actually happened.

Why the lineage matters

Professor Lin Housheng personally authorized me to organize, promote, and train teachers in the complete Shibashi system. I am one of two Westerners with that authorization, documented and signed by Professor Lin himself.

I spent 15 years studying Chinese Medicine and Qigong before I met Professor Lin privately in 2011. I thought I had a solid foundation. In two days, he recalibrated everything I thought I knew. Not because I was doing it wrong. Because there were layers I had never encountered.

What I teach comes directly from that transmission. Not from an interpretation of an interpretation.

In Chinese internal arts tradition, an indoor disciple receives direct transmission of a complete system, including the layers that don't travel through formal instruction alone.

That's what this training passes on.

What experienced practitioners say

"I was doing it okay, and people were benefiting from it. But when I met Fabrice and studied in detail, oh boy, did that change things. Really, really different in me and in my students. That was when I started to get students saying: we feel so vibrant at the end of class."

Jane Launchbury, Qigong teacher (35 years of experience). Certified directly by Professor Lin Housheng in Sets 1 and 2. Certified by Fabrice Piche in Sets 1, 2, and 3.

"I came in as a certified Qigong teacher from another system and thought I understood the depth of this practice. After just the first part of the Set 1 course, I realized how much I had yet to discover. The volume and precision of what Fabrice teaches genuinely surprised me."

Ying Tan, acupuncturist and Qigong teacher. Certified by Fabrice Piche to teach Set 1.

"My health is still improving month by month. I now have a spring in my step like never before. Agility and strength are growing. The breath is becoming more powerful in the movements. My classes are full and many people are benefiting."

Max W., internal arts practitioner (20+ years), prior Qigong teaching certificate. Training with Fabrice for 3.5 years. Now teaches 7 classes per week.

"Fabrice makes you feel at ease on the one-to-one calls. Well worth it."

Robyn Treen, Teacher Training participant, Sets 1, 2, and 3.

A note on online training

All 1-1 sessions are conducted on Zoom, each recorded for your review. (In person options available in Mexico)

I've been teaching online since 2012. The skills required to teach Qigong at a distance are specific, and I've spent close to 15 years developing them. 1-1 sessions is where my full attention goes to you. The only thing genuinely missing online is the ability to physically rotate a joint, but that gap closes quickly with proper teaching method.

There's also something else. One of the advanced layers of Medical Qigong is distance work: the ability to stay fully connected through the Shen and Qi layer regardless of physical location. Teaching 1-1 online over many years has deepened that capacity considerably. Many students find that during our sessions they feel the Qi more strongly than when practicing alone. Jane, who has been working with me weekly from the UK for close to six years, describes it as "being in the same room as Fabrice".

That quality of direct transmission is not compromise. In-person or distance training works equally well. For some students, it becomes the most valuable part of the work.
