Through a combination of the in-person events, the Zoom meet-ups and online forum, the teachers will work to ensure that students are taught to a high standard as they are taken step-by-step through the Nei Gong process and taught the arts we pass on within Lotus Nei Gong and the associated Internal Arts Academy.
