A little about me…. 

Hi everyone!  Thank you for being curious about what Serenity’nam means and has to offer. My name is Jan Behrens, and I am a Spring Forest Qigong Certified Practice Group Leader and a Kundalini Yoga Teacher.   Serenity is how I feel when I get on my mat and practice qigong or yoga, it takes my monkey mind to a place of pure calm and bliss. ‘Nam is short for Sat Nam which in Sanscrit means “I am truth”. Connecting with your truest self is said to not only benefit yourself but others around you.    

Grand Master Lin is the founder of Spring Forest Qigong, and his mission is “A healer in every home is a world without pain and suffering”. When I started my Qigong journey, I didn’t realise what that truly meant. After 4 years completely immersed in the practice, I now understand.  This practice consists of very gentle movements that are accessible to all. You can do them standing, sitting or lying down. These movements are designed for self healing. But the bonus is, they heal not just your body. They heal your body, mind, and spirit. The practice raises your vibration and creates a beautiful healing environment where the yin (female energy) and the yang (male energy) are in balance.  

I became immersed in this practice to help heal an injury that I sustained that no other traditional modality could fix. After practicing daily for 30 minutes with a 30-minute Small Universe meditation, the nerve damage that I sustained was released from my body. So physically my body was healed but as an added benefit, my mental health improved as well. I didn’t realize that I was suffering from depression and anxiety until I noticed how happy and lighthearted I had become. 

I presently lead a group of seniors at the Golden Rules Seniors Club in South Osborne. This is my second year and there are some students that have been with me from the start. Their transformations are incredible and are mentioned in the Testimonial section of this website. They have become believers in this practice and now share it with everyone they know. A beautiful ripple effect influencing and affecting the energies of the universe, helping Grand Master Lin achieve his mission.  

If you are curious about what this practice could do for you, let’s connect. I hope you join this journey with me.
