Wild Plum —
A Practice for the Practiced
Yin Yoga, Qigong and Chinese Medicine for the Long Arc of a Practitioner's Life
For practitioners who've already done the hard work.
If you've spent ten, twenty, thirty years on the mat — through ashtanga, vinyasa, running, pilates and gym, demanding practices that built who you are — you already know what your body can do.
What you may be noticing now is that the practice that carried you here isn't the practice that will carry you forward.
Not because anything's wrong.
Because something's changed.
The body you're in now is asking a different question. Wild Plum is one way of answering it.
For over thirty years I've been studying how the inner arts of China — QiGong, Yin Yoga, classical Chinese medicine, and the philosophy of nature underneath all of them — speak to the long arc of a practitioner's life.
My work is for people who've been practising long enough to know that technique alone isn't the point. Who are ready for a practice that deepens rather than depletes. Who want to learn from the inside out, in a body that's no longer twenty-five and has no interest in pretending it is.
I call this living approach Wild Plum — a weaving of Yin Gong (stillness, trained to open the body) and Yang Gong (mindful movement, trained with breath), held inside the older framework of Yang Sheng: nourishing life.
Not one discipline, but a conversation between many — how we move, how we rest, how we age, how we return.
Practice as Orientation
Practice here isn't about performance or accumulation. It's about learning to live in relationship with change — in your body, in your mind, in the long second half of a life.
Over time, these practices stop being techniques you copy from a teacher and become ways of surfing the wave of your own life. That's the work. That's what we train for.
200 to 500hr Yin–Yang Teacher Training
An apprenticeship in Wild Plum practice — weaving Yin Yoga, QiGong, functional anatomy, and Chinese medicine. For long-practiced teachers and committed practitioners ready to study slowly, over time, as path rather than certification.

Living the Tao in Everyday Life
The way of practice is not about doing more. It’s about sensing when to move and when to be still, when to act and when to yield.
Each pause, each gesture, is an opportunity to return to the harmony that’s already present.
