Rudi is a natural teacher and is infinitely patient. His style is very casual yet based in deep knowledge and he made all feel welcome and included. The time seemed to zip by and his instructions and plan for future learning was cohesive and engaging. There was ample time for questions and all in all I thoroughly enjoyed the event and can recommend it to anyone. The zoom format worked well and ongoing support and discussion means you are not left confused and we can share experiences with fellow students.

I thought you could get a text message and then use it on your desktop. However it is very misleading and I had to get an old smartphone to make this work. However many times I asked for an sms nothing arrived and then it locks you out for several days for making too many attempts. The message is actually sent to the telegram app which you have to download first, therefore I needed a smartphone. Maybe it is just me but this seems to be a common issue.

Damo Mitchell's Lotus Neigong has several instructors based in the UK: http://lotusneigong.com/branches-2/

I would welcome either - I think it is always good to be able to clarify aspects of practice once you have been shown a method, so a monthly review could be valuable.

This is exactly the sort of thing that someone like myself has been looking for. I am unable to travel and this presents a rare opportunity. The price seems more than reasonable when you consider what many people charge on a monthly basis. I have no connection with the OP but his videos seem very reasonable and grounded.

Could anyone please be kind enough to comment on the legitimacy of Dr Wilson Yong, purveyor of http://www.taoistsecret.com/ A daobums search reveals a couple of broadly positive comments over the years, but you can’t get more overt criticism than this site: https://wilsonyongtaoism.wordpress.com/ Many thanks in advance

I have been disabled with M.E for the past 7 years. I recommend that you visit http://www.hfme.org/ and also the private doctor I have visited in the UK but has plenty of information on the site and a book you can download free: http://www.drmyhill.co.uk/ the forums here are very active, divided into topics and very helpful: http://forums.phoenixrising.me/ Qigong wise - the Flying Phoenix DVDs have been useful as has gentle Tai Chi ruler sets I hope this is a start - I have extensive experience of many varied and expensive treatments so PM if you want more info...

I would certainly recommend finding a teacher if you intend to learn Wild Goose Qigong. I have Dr. Bingkun Hu's DVDs and the first 2 encompass 128 moves to memorise. You also require quite a large space to practise this form. The supplementary DVDs are shorter but still good. I believe there are many levels beyond the DVD series. I have practised the first 128 move form for two years and while I don't experience the accumulation of energy of other forms it is very invigorating, including the stretching and stimulatiuon of merdians and jumping/shaking. The DVDs are also available to download as well as hard copy.
