I am privileged to have Master Yang Yang as my personal teacher for many years. He has taught me intention and focus; and T’ai Chi & Qigong have become my favorite practices. They give me power, energy and strength. When the pandemic happened, Master Yang created the most exciting classes online so that everyone can practice with him to improve their physical and mental well-being. I cannot recommend his WaQi online programs enough!
