Welcome - Kia Ora - 大家好
Thanks for your interest in this weekend Qigong Workshop. Before I tell you about that, let me briefly introduce myself. My name's Gregg Wagstaff and I've recently settled near Motueka with my wife Sarah and 6-year old son, Xiao. I've been an Instructor for the Chinese Da Yan (Wild Goose) Qigong Association since 2002 and trained in the UK and China under Master Chan Kim Fung (Hong Kong) and Master Wang Tai Li (Beijing). I'm also a UK qualified Acupuncturist and Tui Na (Chinese Medical Massage) practitioner. Between 2004 - 2017, I ran a successful clinic treating clients with various types of pain, dysfunction or 'disorder', plus helped others achieve optimal health and wellness. In 2016, I created the Da Yan Academy - a dedicated online platform to teach authentic Wild Goose Qigong. Today, I bring all of this experience to offer health coaching, 1-to-1 training, classes, workshops and retreats. Wild Goose Qigong remains at the core of my personal and professional practice. I hope you'll join me for these courses. Let me tell you all about it...
Join Me...
Join me and 11 other like-minded students for this series of 10 x 90-minute Qigong evening classes - located in a tranquil, log fired studio near Kina Beach, Tasman. This is your opportunity to learn one of China’s most authentic, effective and profound systems of Qigong / Life Cultivation practices. The benefits others have derived from the practice of this Qigong are wide ranging; from improved energy, sleep, mobility, balance, digestion to decreased pain, inflammation, blood pressure.
The Wild Goose Qigong system dates back over 1,800 years over 28 generations of Grandmasters. It has amassed an extensive library of medical, martial and spiritual Qigong exercises and applications. Opened up to the public in 1978, by the late 27th Grandmaster, Madam Yang Mei June, it is quickly growing across the globe.
Over the ten classes, I will be teaching you three movement and meditation exercises from this time-honoured Qigong system; the 1st 64, Body Strengthening by Patting and Jing Gong / Meditation (see below for details).
It's my job teach you Wild Goose Qigong and enable your ongoing practice so you will reap maximum benefits.
I know that sometimes it’s not possible to attend every class. Sometimes it can be difficult to maintain practice between classes and into the future. That’s OK. That’s why, when you enrol in the course, I’m going to give you free lifetime access to my online courses in the Da Yan Academy, so you can continue your learning and practice whenever you wish.

Here's what you'll learn over this 10-week course...
Wild Goose Qigong 1st 64
Around 1,800 years ago, the Daoist originators of Kunlun Dayan Qigong, devised their style from the movements and qualities of the highly revered Da Yan / Wild Goose (thought to be the Bar Headed Goose). Designed into these movements were also the principles of Yì jīng 易經 the Bāguà 八卦, Jīngluò 經絡 and ancient Chinese medicine theory. Hence, a 128-movement form was created. The 27th Generation Grand Master Yang Mei June, later split the form into two halves, to make it easier to learn.
The Wild Goose Qigong Front or 1st 64 is part of the Foundational Dong Gong / dynamic exercises within the system. Most students start here. Based upon the Later-Heaven Bagua, it consists of 64 flowing movements and works on the whole physical an energetic body. It is, in itself, a very comprehensive exerice, suitable for everyone. When performed the 1st 64 it takes around 10-minutes to complete. This usually takes me around 10 weekly classes to teach you this form.

Wild Goose Qigong Pai Da Gong
We'll also be learning the Wild Goose Pai Da Gong form (also know as ‘Patting Gong' or Body Strengthening by Patting). It is an essential shorter exercise (4-mins) from the system. Its moves are relatively less technical and physically demanding, making it suitable for all ages and abilities, particularly the elderly or those with a weak constitution. Pai Da Gong is a very effective and comprehensive gong - working Yin & Yang channels of legs and arms, Dai Mai, San Jiao. It can benefit lumbo-sacral issues, sciatic problems and neuropathy of the limbs. Patting is great to clear stagnation in the body. It helps promote blood and lymph circulation, bone density and more…

Wild Goose Qigong Meditation / Jing Gong
The moving exercises will be complemented by Wild Goose Wu Xing Jing Gong, which is the fundamental meditation practice in the Wild Goose system. I prefer to think of this practice as ‘Cultivating Stillness’. You can practise this simply sitting on a chair. Jing Gong should be practised in tandem with the dynamic Dong Gong exercises, as they mutually reinforce and promote the cultivation and internal mobilization of Qi. Wu Xing Jing Gong comprises five different methods, which can achieve ‘Small & Large Heavenly Circuits’ and strong external Qi fields. The first two methods will be taught at this workshop. Contemporary research and neuroscience further recognise the benefits of regular meditation including; increased immunity, empathy, focus; improved cardiovascular health and stress reduction.

What Others Are Saying...
"I'd recommend Gregg to anyone interested in learning authentic Wild Goose (Dayan) Qigong. He is a good instructor. He has good knowledge of Dayan Qigong and TCM and is both calm and patient when he teaches. After spending a couple of years learning with Gregg, he helped me to go to China to learn from his teachers. It was something I'd always dreamed of! Dayan Qigong is one of the few qigong systems that still carries a lot of depth! It never ceases to amaze me as I continue to explore its movements and teachings! "
Adam Gibson
Qigong Instructor @ Lotus Dao, Lithuania
"I am a health care practitioner and have always had an interest in Chinese Martial Arts and Qigong. Having two children now, I really appreciate the time I have with them and want to be agile and able to continue to be an active part of their lives for years to come. This pushed me towards Wild Goose Qigong.
Practicing Wild Goose Qigong has much improved my stamina, confidence and overall well-being. I enjoy training and feel invigorated even after a short practice.
1-to-1 Online Coaching Sessions with Gregg have been great as they really pointed out where I had made errors, improved my skill and provided great motivation to take it on to the next level.
I highly recommend Gregg and his online Da Yan Academy - the videos are great and the explanations of the moves really easy to follow."
