JOHN MUNRO
John Munro is the founder and head instructor of Long White Cloud Qigong, an international qigong school with a network of over 400 qigong instructors around the world. He is the author of four books on qigong, has previously served as Vice President of the New Zealand Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine and as Chairman of Natural Health Practitioners of New Zealand, and is a current member of the World Academic Society of Medical Qigong.
