How Does It Work?
My 500hr program of 4 modules build to a potential 500 hours, the highest Yoga Alliance qualification. According to Yoga Alliance requirements, you need 200 hours to begin to teach—but that’s just the start. Yang Sheng is a massively rich subject matter.Â
These offerings are designed to be learned over time. Each program below includes its next dates and format.
This in-depth training is the heart of my work — a living synthesis of functional movement, meditative awareness, and the philosophy of the Tao. It’s a journey that returns you to your body’s wisdom, cultivates quiet strength, and renews your relationship with life itself.
Foundations

Yin Yoga Foundations — 200hr
A comprehensive foundation in Yin practice informed by Chinese medicine, functional anatomy, and lived experience. Â
 Qigong Foundations — 50hr
