The CHI Health Institute has developed a new series of intensive training experiences for students and instructors.  Intensives are offered as a concentrated learning experience, which may be a half day (4 hours), a day (8 hours), or even several days depending on the circumstance.  Each type of intensive has a specific focus.  These experiences offer greater flexibility to our students, prospective instructors, and instructors of all ranks, by offering intensive personalized opportunities for learning, training, and refinement.
