I’m grateful to receives this meditations in teaching over the last few years:

Experiencing Buddha Crane Qigong is a profound awakening of awareness. After more than 30 years of studying and practicing Taiji and Qigong, I have come to understand the concept of movement within stillness, and this practice embodies that principle beautifully. Ray Robertson guides you into a centered, fully aware state of being. Buddha Crane Qigong offers a smooth, natural transition into movement, with a strong emphasis on posture and breath. Ray’s meditation instruction is exceptional, grounded in structural alignment and a deep awareness of body, mind, and spirit. He creates an environment where you can let go of external distractions and truly connect with yourself. His ability to lead and center each individual is remarkable, empowering practitioners to take responsibility for their own growth and presence. Buddha Crane Qigong is a timeless practice that has the potential to create lasting transformation.
—John Gage, CoMo Taiji Qigong

The story of how Ray came to receive the teachings of Buddha Crane is compelling and inspirational and will open your heart in the most beautiful way. The Qigong form he has developed is truly genuine, authentic and worth learning. With his gentle and exquisite teaching style, Ray will help you get to a place where you feel a sense of being light, calm and tranquil with this form. Worries and tensions will vanish as the mind and body find that place of harmony and resonance. Ray Robertson is a gifted teacher and we are grateful he is sharing the gift of his very own Buddha Crane Qigong.
—Gill Carmody, Taiji and Qigong Instructor

Practicing Buddha Crane Qigong is like being transported into a realm of magic between two worlds. I was cushioned by a tangible, yet soft, and yielding wall before me and behind me. The movements helped me to explore this space with a feeling of calmness, safety, and wonder.
—Marjean Liggett, Taiji and Qigong Instructor

Adding Qigong to my exercise program has been extremely beneficial both physically and mentally. I have taken the lessons in balance and used them in my other strength training classes. As a teacher, Ray is exceptionally good at explaining the importance of each movement while allowing each member to progress at his or her own pace. The opening and closing meditations settle my mind and body so that I may be more present both in the class and my daily life. Meditation allows my mind to relax and focus.
—Peg Anderson

The movements in these classes involve using exercises that benefit the body, mind, and spirit. After participating, you should see improvements in body movements and posture. Personally, I thoroughly enjoy the level of relaxation that comes with the meditations we have in class. Whether someone is a beginner or has been practicing for years, the benefits of Qigong and Tai Chi are many. Ray is welcoming to everyone and helps to make new students feel at ease. Highly recommended if you want to improve your overall health.
—Dwight Spangler

Qigong helps me relax while staying focused. It significantly reduces the frequency of my breathing when I swim laps after a Qigong class. I have found Ray an inspiring instructor. While he is well grounded in Qigong practice, he encourages us to practice at our own pace and feel no pressure. I’d also like to mention the opening and closing meditations guided by Ray in each class are extremely well prepared and quite beneficial. Thank you, Ray.

What is on my mind is how much better I feel with the regular practice of Qigong and Tai Chi for arthritis, thanks to Ray Robertson and the Halifax Y!
—Dr. Joan Wilson, OB-GYN

I can’t really explain it. Can’t quite put my finger on it. But after class, I always feel better in mind, body, and spirit.
—Ron Byrd, PhD, Sports Sciences

Ray is a wonderful Qigong instructor! He works hard at his craft and learns the practices deeply. He then shares them in generous detail, preserving the integrity of the practice, while using a gentle and supportive approach that enhances the student’s ability to learn. It is a real pleasure learning from him.”
—Carol Ritter, Ph.D.

Qigong movements subtly direct the body and mind to a quiet, peaceful place. Ray guides us in ways that are entirely manageable and yet true to the practice. I’ve benefitted enormously from his guidance, particularly in focus and balance. Thank you, Ray.

Ray Robertson’s Qigong and Tai Chi classes have allowed me to get in touch with my inner self…relax, free my mind and regulate my emotions with body and breath. My nervous system is calm. I feel grounded, more confident and other benefits are more patience and positivity. Less pain and much improved mobility. I am more mindful and aligned with the energy of the universe. I highly recommend his class.
—Celeste Carrington

I have benefited in so many ways from Ray’s Qigong classes! He began by creating a supportive and welcoming environment that allowed us to have fun while exploring this new (to us) form of exercise. The meditative movement of Qigong has taught me how to quiet my mind by turning my attention inward to focus on caring for my body. As a result, my anxiety has greatly decreased while my balance, energy and joint fluidity have all significantly increased.
—Tracey Teagan

Ray Robertson is an excellent teacher and provides students of Qigong, like myself, with an eye for step by step instruction in the practice of Primordial Qigong along with his very patient, steady and understanding demeanor.
