Ken Frankel began practicing qigong with Dr. George Love on the beach in Boca Raton, FL in 2001. He received certification to teach from Dr. Love in 2006.

He subsequently completed a 200 hour medical qigong practitioner training at the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in Hallandale, FL, and a 200 hour Qigong and Tai Chi teacher training with Dr. Roger Jahnke in Santa Barbara, CA.

He completed additional shorter certification trainings with Master Wing Cheung, Michael Winn, Master Ou Wen Wei, Shifu Michael Rinaldini, and Chapur Rinpoche.

In 2016 he discovered the 24 Posture Therapeutic Qigong, and considers it to be one of the best qigong forms that he's encountered.

He came to the Village for certification training in 2017, and was re-certified in 2022.
