The Journey Begins

In June 2021, GetSetUp launched a Mandarin program and began seeking Mandarin-speaking Ambassadors to share their knowledge with learners worldwide. Among the first to join was Sophia, who started by taking classes on GetSetUp. She enjoyed the experience so much that she soon began teaching her own courses in Qigong.

Overcoming Challenges and Sharing Knowledge

The transition to teaching a movement class online came with a short learning curve, but Sophia quickly adapted.

"Students suggested that the actions I did were reversed, so I tried mirror teaching. After getting more familiar with the technology, I feel that I am calmer, and I can really share the peaceful feeling of Qigong with all my online friends," she explained.

Having practiced Tai Chi for many years, Sophia discovered even greater benefits with Qigong.

"After practicing Qigong, my body is fuller with Qi, and my standing and sitting postures are better. The body is more upright, and my energy is more abundant. I will do things more gently and relax my muscles. If you practice Qigong, it will benefit your health."

Embracing Lifelong Learning

In addition to teaching, Sophia enjoys taking various classes offered by GetSetUp.

"I have also participated in other activities. For example, Sue Murray shared her experience of traveling to South Africa. I also took singing and dancing lessons in India. Indian dance is very joyful. It is very different from our Chinese dance. I have also participated in puzzle games to strengthen my brain and exercise my memory. It is also very fun," she shared.
