What people are saying
“I’m an ordained Taoist monk, twenty-second generation Zhengyi, with about twenty years in the tradition. When you’ve spent that long inside a practice, you learn to tell the difference between someone performing qigong and someone actually doing it. Most teach the shapes. Kent teaches what lives underneath.
Kent leads quietly, without hurry, and lets the practice do its own work. No theater. No straining after depth. Just gentle movement, steady breath, and a teacher actually paying attention to the room.
And here’s what surprised me most: he’s funny. A little silly, even. One minute the room is laughing, the next it has settled into stillness, and somehow both belong. Serious about the practice, light about everything else. Yin and yang in the same person.
Beginners are welcome here, chairs and all, and he means it, which matters more than it sounds. A lot of places say it and then quietly teach to the people who already know the movements.
I don’t vouch for teachers lightly. The tradition means too much to me for that. Kent is the real deal. Come to a class and see if he is your next teacher on the Way.”
“When Kent is teaching I feel totally absorbed and present. Excellent instruction, movement with presence, fun and humor included. I can't wait to attend another class.”
— Rebecca W., in-person student
“I love Kent and all that he offers. He is skilled, funny, and a joy to be around. I'm so glad I found his classes in Olympia. What a gem.”
— Amy F., in-person student
“I love each Qi Gong session with Kent. He brings joy to every interaction and creates a warm space for good energy to flow.”
— Kelly J., Live Class Club Member
“I've been going to Kent's classes for over a year. He is simply an amazing teacher, and every class is awesome.”
— William S., student of over a year
“Kent brings a level of openness, joy, and inclusivity to his qigong classes that I haven’t experienced with other instructors. He puts you at ease. I’ve experienced this with his in person classes as well as the ones online.”
— Joan S., Live Class Club Member
“I have had the opportunity to experience many classes with Kent, and each one has been more special than the last. I always leave feeling more grounded, connected, and inspired.”
— Zach K,. Live Class Club Member
