Studying with an Energy Arts instructor through our directory is the ideal way to begin your own practice. Bruce has trained over 10,000 students in his lifetime and trained and certified over 250 teachers in 16 countries. One of the best ways to learn the Energy Arts system is to work with an instructor on a weekly basis.

Instructor backgrounds

Many EA instructors have founded leading chi gung/qigong and tai chi schools in America and Europe. Many others hold advanced degrees and work as doctors, nurses, alternative health practitioners, therapists and caregivers. They range in age from people in their early 20s to their 70s. Bruce's students come from many different backgrounds and there are many different personalities and teaching styles amongst the community.

How to find a teacher

To help you find a teacher you can search the Energy Arts Instructor Directory Map that classifies teachers by region and shows the subjects for which each teacher is certified. Emailing and talking to the instructor on the telephone should give you a sense of the right teacher for you. Some teach weekly classes and others are available for private tuition.

How to become an instructor

We hope that many of you will go on to advanced study with Bruce himself and eventually become teachers too. There is an ongoing need for more teachers to combat the looming health crisis in the West and it is our goal is to make Energy Arts a realistic and natural option for people of any age group who wish to enhance their health and vitality for life.

Negotiating the heavy disclaimer

By using the Instructor Directory you agree to a disclaimer, which is expressed in legalistic terminology, and is out of step with the rest of this web site. This disclaimer is for two reasons:

1. We live in a legalistic world that is dissimilar in many ways to the world in which Bruce learned his material. In that world, if a student had tripped, fallen and twisted his ankle upon leaving his master's house the responsibility for the accident would have lain with the student. In our world, however, people may try to displace responsibility onto the teacher, or the teacher's teacher! Regretfully, this means that we are legally obligated to ask you to read and accept the disclaimer below.
2. We certify our teachers and we re-certify them every two years but we don’t operate a franchise business like McDonalds. We don’t take a cut from instructors' incomes, neither do we tell them how to structure their programs nor insist they all wear the same uniform when they are teaching. In addition to Energy Arts programs, some teachers may also offer other services that are not part of the Bruce Frantzis Energy Arts^® system. The network is what we like to call 'an unintentional community' of small pieces loosely joined who share a common set of values and aspirations.

Need for independent investigation
