I couldn’t have asked for a better experience at Aknanda Qigong. Bharu was a fantastic and patient instructor. From start to finish his teaching method made our class confident in the way we learned and practiced Qigong. For anyone thinking about learning the art of Qigong, or expanding your knowledge that you already have, this class is a must do. Brian “Spike” Buckowski Qigong Teacher Training 2026 participate

Best thing I've done for myself all year! Attending Bahru's three week Aknanda Qi Gong Teacher Training retreat restored my mind and body. Bahru is an excellent teacher - kind, patient, accommodating. If you have ever wanted to peel away layers of stress, practice a new form of movement and challenge your coordination by learning qi gong, this retreat is for you. Bahru hosts the retreat in the fresh air of a lovely shala looking over howling monkeys, butterflies, hummingbirds and the occasional pizosa. Don't hesitate, just sign up, your life will be better for it!

Bharú is a True Master in every sense. I have been practicing various modalities of Yoga, Meditation, TaiJi and JiGong for nearly 3 decades and I have to say that Bharú is world class. It’s truly an honor and privilege to take any class or workshop with him. He is also a very accomplished and amazing Accupuncturist….highly recommended 👍👍

It was really a nice workshop! The teacher and the organization was fantastic!

I had a great trip while attending the 3 week Qigong teacher training with Bharu in Nosara Costa Rica. Not only the location was amazing, but Bharu's teachings and attention made it an unforgettable experience.
