Who am I?
Diego Rocha Granado, Ph.D. in theoretical physics, Qigong and meditation teacher. I have more than 10 years of experience in holistic practices. I have training certificates in Hatha Yoga, Meditation, Qigong (Wai Dan and Nei Dan), and Reiki. Coming from a family of athletes, my journey started as a kid in martial arts. As a kid, I had two passions: science and martial arts. Over time, my love for science became stronger and I went for physics at the university. After 10 years of studies (BSc/MSc/PhD), I felt a part of me was missing. I started practicing Yoga and Meditation and became a certified Yoga and Meditation teacher in Brazil. I taught yoga and meditation for years. At this point in my life, a part of the missing part was fulfilled but a piece was still missing.
I started traveling the world and while traveling through Thailand I found Qigong. My first Qigong education was a Wai Dan approach with Sifu Julie Liu. A Wai Dan (external elixir) Qigong practice is a physical practice. The idea is that you move the external to move the internal. My second Qigong education was a Nei Dan (internal elixir) approach with Sifu Marissa Newell. In this approach, you learn how to work with the energetical body. Knowing both methods brought me this sense of unity, no separation between inside and outside. This was the missing part left. Inner peace lives on this point. Teaching the student how to reach this point I believe is my mission. Qigong showed me that and can definitely show you as well.

“I felt the benefits from the class over the whole day. It was like walking on cloud, mindful of each breath and movement. I am truly fortunate to have taken a class with Diego.”
Steve P., USA
“Diego is a passionate teacher, who shares deep knowledge and compassion. In his classes, I could feel the love flowing through my body, a natural increase in my well-being, and a relief of my lower back pain. After 21 classes, I felt better than ever. I still practice every morning!”
Natascha Heller, Germany
“This was one of the best Qigong classes I have attended. The intention to distinguish between tension and intention in the body, helped me recognize how I was used to creating movement. With this gentle reframe and connection to the elements through each sense, intention moved the body’s energy in full connection from the universe to the earth. I left this class with a noticeable peace of mind, softness in my body, and tender gaze onto the day.”
