About Evan

I discovered Qigong several years ago through the work of Lee Holden. Having practiced shamatha/vipassana meditation for over a decade, I was looking for a form of mind-body exercise that would be sustainable and complement my meditation practice. Qigong was exactly what I was hoping to find, and much more.

I spent five years practicing with a number of teachers online, and received my first certification in 2025 from instructor Nick Loffree. Studying at this level with Nick and his amazing team was a life-changing experience. I discovered the incredible depth of the practice, and a passion for sharing what I’ve learned with the people around me.

It is truly amazing what can be learned via the internet. I, myself, have benefited immensely from on-line training. As an instructor, however, I hope to bring people from my community together to practice this discipline in shared real-world spaces, rather than uploading classes to the internet. I believe that building connections in this way makes for stronger communities and a healthier society. I hope you’ll join me.
