About the Practice of the Week Membership

Subscribing to the practice of the week will not only give you access to new videos that are posted every single week, but will also give you access to an archive of previously recorded practices, covering many topics based on my 20+ years of research and practice in the Chinese arts of internal cultivation. Learn the essence of 'gong fu' - skill attained from diligent and proper effort, through practices of qi gong, internal alchemy and meditation.

Your Instructor: Craig Mallett

From the age of 17 I immersed myself in Chinese practices of self cultivation. My first teacher taught me cultivation using methods from the traditional martial arts of Cha Quan and Xin Yi Liu He Quan, and later added Yang style Tai Chi. After almost a decade of study, I expanded my knowledge to include western methods of strength, flexibility and natural movement. I soon discovered a Daoist school and the deeper practices of internal cultivation which I studied diligently for another decade. The practices you will learn here are the outcome of a synthesis of all of these practices, transformed and presented for you to be accessible and crystal clear. Everyone can benefit from an internal cultivation practice, so long as there is proper orientation and an understanding of how to progress. You will get the details of all the parts from the online courses but these weekly practices will be an opportunity to put it all together.  I look forward to having you on board!
