Preface
Health and Recovery represent a holistic journey toward restoring balance, resilience, and vitality across all dimensions of human experience. In today’s fast-paced and often stressful world, addressing physical well-being, mental clarity, and emotional stability simultaneously is essential for sustainable health.

Our approach integrates modern science with time-tested traditional practices, combining movement arts, mindful breathing, meditation, and personalized health programs. We believe recovery is not merely the absence of illness but the active cultivation of well-being and vitality.
Multi-Dimensional Wellness
- Physical Rehabilitation: Movement therapies to restore mobility, reduce pain, and strengthen the body.
- Emotional Regulation: Techniques for managing stress, anxiety, and emotional imbalance.
- Cognitive Enhancement: Mindfulness and concentration practices that boost mental clarity and focus.
- Energy Replenishment: Breathwork and Qigong-based exercises designed to revitalize and harmonize internal energy flows.
Customized Programs
Each individual or group receives a tailored plan based on thorough assessment of their physical condition, mental health status, and lifestyle demands. Our programs adapt dynamically to ensure continuous progress and sustainable results.
Measuring Success
Outcomes are evaluated using a blend of objective health metrics, participant feedback, and ongoing performance reviews to refine and evolve the recovery journey.

Summer Seminars on Tai Chi and Medical Qigong – YFH, USA
In the summer of 2025, a series of specialized seminars took place at the mountain retreat of Yang’s Family Heights (YFH) with the presence of Dr. Yang. These seminars featured advanced training in Tai Chi Chuan, Tai Chi Sword, Push Hands (Tuishou), and Fighting Set forms.
The final segment focused primarily on Medical Qigong and the Grand Circulation of Energy (Da Mai). Although the groups were smaller in size, participants demonstrated high enthusiasm and commitment.
All classes were held at full capacity, and the combination of a serene retreat environment alongside the mountain nature created an ideal setting for focused learning and growth. Meals were provided by a professional chef, emphasizing healthful and nourishing cuisine.
Dr. Yang has announced that summer 2026 may mark the final occurrence of these seminars at YFH.

Qigong Meditation: Methods of Stopping Thought (Zhi Nian)
Before you start, you should understand that there are no techniques, which are absolutely effective for everybody. It depends on the individual. It may also depend on the situation and timing. Remember that the final goal of regulating your thoughts is to reach “the thought of no thought.”
Yoga and the Roots of Modern Somatics: Bridging Eastern Inner Traditions with Contemporary Mind-Body Sciences
In contemporary science, Somatics is recognized as a holistic approach to body and mind, emphasizing inner awareness, lived bodily experience, and nervous system regulation. Although the term emerged in the West during the 20th century, many of its core principles are rooted in ancient traditions, particularly Yoga and other Eastern inner systems. This article explores the historical and philosophical connection between Yoga and modern Somatics, the role of Yoga in redefining therapeutic approaches, and its influence on today’s scientific models.
Dámó’s Strengthening Qigong (達磨壯氣功): A Study on the Origins, Structure, and Traditional Functions of Internal Practices
In the internal and martial traditions of the East, it has always been emphasized that the cultivation of body and spirit must proceed hand in hand. One of the pillars of this teaching is a practice known as Qigong (氣功), which in its essence embodies continuity, discipline, and the unification of body, breath, and mind.
Angles of Benefit: The Dynamic Equilibrium Between Peak and Recovery
Being constantly at your peak—physically or mentally—may, at first glance, seem like a sign of health. But on closer examination, we find that a “100% maximum” state sustained over time allows no room for flexibility or breathing space in the body and mind’s intricate systems. We are not dealing with a linear model (all or nothing), but rather a dynamic and cyclical system.
Neijing Tu: The “Inner Landscape” Diagram
Neijing Tu (內經圖) is closely connected with Chinese medicine. This work is considered a classic in Taoist internal alchemy practice. Using landscape painting metaphorically, it depicts the functions of human organs, the roles of various body parts, and the emotional stages throughout the practice. The diagram uses imagery to point to the dual cultivation of essence (jing) and life (sheng), revealing their true meaning in the unity of heaven and humanity. It has been praised by later generations as the "first image of Chinese health preservation." As a classic, the time of its creation has always been a subject of debate.
