Jan Lively has been a teacher of Zhineng Qigong since 2002 and was certified by Master Liu Yuantong of the Tai Ji Healing Center in Meishan, China.  She has also studied with Mingtong Gu, Luke Chan, and Frank Chan.  She travels to China regularly for advanced training. 

Jan was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998.  In 2001, the cancer recurred, this time throughout the liver and spine.  She began practicing Qigong and immediately experienced its benefits as her strength and energy improved even during chemotherapy treatments.  With daily practice, her health continued to improve and she now is living a healthy and active life, teaching classes and workshops in Dayton.  She also travels to other locations in the U.S. to teach special workshops upon request.

In addition, Jan is one of the founders of The Noble Circle Project: Women Thriving Beyond Cancer, which promotes self-healing through Qigong, Whole Foods Nutrition, and Group Support.   (See www.NobleCircle.org.)
