More About Francis Lee Poe, ND
He started rock climbing when he was 16 years old, and he has experienced a wide breadth of climbing from bouldering, sport climbing, traditional climbing, solo climbing, and mountaineering. In another life he used to compete in track and field as a pole vaulter. The last time he looked he still had his high school pole vault record. He finds enjoyment in teaching, and he has always found a way to be of service to others in this capacity. Be it as a track and field coach, pole vault coach, climbing instructor, palpation instructor, biochemistry tutor, and a physical education instructor.
At an early age, Francis was taught qigong from his father, and he later studied with teachers from the Jin Jing Gong lineage. Throughout his many years of qigong experience he has found it to be one of the most enriching and rewarding practices. If you ask him about qigong, he will likely tell you that qigong is like digging a deep well that has an infinite reserve of nourishment.
