TESTIMONIALS

“The Yoqi Module 1 live immersion exceeded my expectations! Through Marisa and Pavel’s tremendous dedication I was able to connect to my Qi in ways I didn’t think possible. Their beautiful humble energy shines through their practice and they abundantly share! “ - Elizabeth Miller, USA

“YOQI MODULE 1 (Qigong Flow ) Live Immersion provides comprehensive instruction in the fundamentals of Qigong with live instruction in a group setting. The immersion faciilitates deep energy experience via a wide range of physical and meditative practices, and is a valuable complement to the YOQI online course material. "Qigong Flow" is a dynamic and vibrant style of Qigong with signature "progressive loops" and smooth transitions which heighten the experience of Qi and make it a joy to practice and to teach.” - Lorraine Robain, USA

“Ik voelde me bevoorrecht om deze training bij Marisa Cranefill te kunnen volgen. Twee jaar geleden waren haar oefeningen het geen waarvan ik weer vrolijk werd. Ik zat midden in een overspannen en depressieve periode, waarin ik kampte met vele stressgerelateerde klachten, schouderpijn, hormonale klachten en later ook vreemde allergische reacties die ik nooit eerder had gehad. Een half jaar geleden besloot ik zelfs om m'n baan als leerkracht op te zeggen en andere mensen te gaan helpen met de soort klachten die ik had. Ik ben vastberaden om dit te bewerkstelligen. Van niets meer kunnen, niets meer durven, geen zelfvertrouwen meer hebben, voel ik me nu sterk genoeg om mijn eigen Qigong flow praktijk te gaan opstarten. Marisa is precies zoals in de youtube video's, vriendelijk, duidelijk en zeer inspirerend, haar woorden komen altijd op een hele prettige en warme manier binnen. Ik hoop haar visie en filosofie op mijn manier uit te dragen aan alle mensen die ik in mijn omgeving hiermee kan helpen, om welke reden dan ook.” ☯️ Diane Zuiderwijk, Thuisreis.nl - Diane Zuiderwijk, NL

“Marisa has an eye for beauty, her energy permeates everything from the course material, the presentations and the exercise flow. Her loving kindness and deep mastery of qi gong makes her training highly recommended. So grateful to have studied with her, life changing experience!”- Catherine Atwood, Canada
