Derek Fowler

Through beginning classes in Qigong with Derek Fowler, I have learned ways to be aware of the energy that flows around me and through my body. I have increased my strength in a subtle way, and become more limber. No matter how tired I am at the end of a busy day, an hour of Qigong in class with Derek renews my energy, my feeling of well being, and I am calm, smiling and at peace. I practice as much as I can during my week, and come away from the weekly classes with a new depth in understanding my energy and my body.

My husband and I have been interested in Qigong for several years now, but were dissatisfied with previous classes we took in the Seattle area. Then, we found Sifu (a Chinese way to address one's teacher with respect) Fowler's class on TeachStreet.com, like the reviews we read, and decide to sign up for class.

On our first day of class we were impressed with Sifu Fowler's method of teaching, ie his depth of this centuries old knowledge and his abilities to convey them to his students. This allows us to understand the significance of each movement that effects our bodies and the Qi that flows in them. We love the subtleness of the Wild Qigong's movements! We would like to make a commitment to stick with Sifu's classes.

We have only one wish for Sifu to start a new class on the East side of Seattle. Since we live in Sammamish and class time is at 7pm we are right in the middle of the evening commute:-( And, we hate to miss a class with snow or high wind over the bridge.
