REN XUE International's Guided E-learning Teacher Training is a self-study option delivered through our E-learning platform.
The training is undertaken with a cohort over a set period and is supported by two experienced REN XUE teachers. Support includes weekly group sessions which alternate between ‘study groups’ via Zoom, where the teachers answer questions and trainees practice applying the learnings, and ‘buddy groups', where trainees undertake practice and discussion activities together.
We invite you to join us on this new Ren Xue teacher training experience - if you have questions at any stage of the process don't hesitate to contact us.

Simon Sangmeister
REN XUE International Teacher Resource Coordinator
Simon is a REN XUE teacher from Germany. He started his Qigong journey about 10 years ago when dealing with a health condition. After trying various other modalities he settled on Qigong. The calming and harmonising practice in conjunction with the deep-rooted theories helped him to make sense of the world he found himself in.
Simon's background is in landscape architecture and permaculture. He loves music with strong hook lines, going for walks and eating unhealthy amounts of trail mix.
