curriculum
We integrate three essential elements that many programs miss:
• Joint mechanics
• Fascial connectivity
• Ligament and tendon relationships
Each session builds upon the last, creating a profound understanding of how your body actually works - not how it's supposed to work according to a textbook [3].
NOTE: This program is one half of a two-part series.
This program is foundational. It introduces concepts and the Yang Channels. The other half (Qiology: Yin Channels) focuses on the more complex Yin Channels and more.
There is no better time to find health in our lives. The YangSheng approach to health is often dismissed or mystified...What we will learn here is a part of the 3-pillar approach to long-term health outlined in the classics of Chinese Medicine, overlooked by modern people:
Jing (physical health),
Qi (emotional, energetic health), &
Shen (Psychological, spiritual health).
We cover Shen & Jing overwhelmingly in our 200hr and Meditate Modules. This program is all about Qi.
Qi theory proposes we can learn simple principles of prevention of pain and resolution of pain by ameliorating Qi flow. This means looking in detail at the physiology (structures of) and pathology (sickness) of the six layers of the body. This program is in no way is a rejection of allopathic, mainstream medicine which has a huge place in our lives. It is simply a reframing of its place in our lives. We will consider the role of common easy fixes (like painkillers, which though they have their place are not long term fixes) and alternatives. This course offers life skills designed to give you physical healing and a slower, longer term view to wellness.
We practice ten times. These are Myofascial (Trigger Point) Release practices which combine targeted channel (or meridian) stimulation with Yin poses.

Learn the Modern Way
There are many ways of approaching this subject. They are all great. We will focus on the science of Chinese Medicine...this speaks to us modern people most. We have made much progress in the last 20 years in understanding why this approach to health works.
But modern science (fortunately or unfortunately) doesn't know it all. We must (fairly regularly) just abandon rationality to the pure poetry of this system. Life after all is not an Excel spreadsheet.
Go Deep. Not Broad.
Each practice will build on the experience of the last. What at first seems either impossible to understand will, as you ease into it, become familiar, even comfortable.
With deepening study, you will see that the secret to good health is surprisingly simple and elegant.
What Students Say
Bob - UK
"I do like your teaching style. These are not just sweet words. You have a good combination of intensity in your delivery, interest in engaging all of your students... and a slightly self effacing humour."
Yves - Thailand
"I didn't think I would like online learning. But I have just finished our morning session and surprisingly I found out that I’ve missed some important points! So I am listening again...wonderful!"
Tessa - UK
" You make learning fun. You make it calm and collective. I never feel anxious or silly for asking questions and you invite a vulnerability to people that makes them more open to learning and seeing things from a different point of view by explaining them in ways we would understand."
Wendy - Australia
"What keeps me coming back is the quality of the class content. It is top quality and not airy fairy whimsical stuff."
