Mindful Living: The Art of Life
Boost productivity, reduce stress, and foster team wellness in the workplace.
Preface
We design real, transformative solutions for organizations and teams seeking to bring vitality, clarity, and resilience into their workplace culture.
A truly mindful practice is one of the most transformative experiences a person can engage in. Disciplines such as Taiji, Qigong, Yoga, Meditation, and Mindfulness have become widely embraced in the corporate world — from Google and Facebook to Microsoft, Nike, and Amazon — as essential tools for employee well-being and sustainable performance.
Research consistently shows that mindfulness-based practices can significantly enhance staff wellness by reducing stress, increasing productivity, and supporting overall physical and mental health.
As more organizations seek to integrate meaningful mind–body practices into their workspaces, we provide the guidance and structure to make that integration truly effective.
What We Do
Most companies struggle to create wellness programs that truly take root within their organization. We believe this is due to a lack of human connection, inspiring health leadership, and consistent accountability systems.

What Makes Us Different & What We Do
Decades of Experience in Practice and Theory
We have developed a curriculum designed to inspire newcomers to deeply love Tai Chi and Yoga, and to apply their wisdom across many areas of life. Our instructors each have taught at least 1,000 classes, with many having taught far beyond that.
Elite Instructors
You can expect every instructor to meet world-class standards. We use clear, objective criteria to qualify our teachers. While it may sound simple, the vast majority of so-called “teachers” do not qualify to lead groups effectively.
For Diverse Groups
Our classes are crafted to suit highly diverse groups. We welcome absolute beginners and reject dogmatism. Our goal is to match every client with instructors who can genuinely connect with the culture they teach in. This approach fosters an inclusive and supportive learning environment where everyone feels comfortable and motivated.
Live Human Connection
We prioritize human connection to inspire and motivate our clients. Technology serves as a tool to enhance these connections and facilitate access to our services. It helps us improve communication and enrich the customer experience without overshadowing genuine human interaction. Ultimately, we believe authentic human connection can deeply impact lives, and we are committed to creating a space where such connections thrive.

Compensatory Release Valves and Inner Order in Yoga, Qigong, and Taijiquan In the classical body–mind traditions, movement has never been an end in itself. It has always been understood as a means for establishing inner order. In both classical Indian Yoga and the Chinese traditions of Qigong and Taijiquan, the foundational principle is clear: body, breath, and mind must be organized within a coherent structure for vitality, energy, and awareness to circulate correctly.

At YMAA Iran, I discovered Taijiquan in a way that connected both its philosophy and practical application. The structured curriculum, methodical training, and the presence of instructors trained under Dr. Yang set this school apart from any other I’ve experienced.
