I'm again so grateful for Kathy's energy and patience she shared with our group this week, as well as her willingness to be so present for all of us. This was one of the richest martial art learning experiences I have had in my life, due to the attention that she and Dr Yang made available to us.

Subject-matter expertise and mastery of any art and science must always be hard-earned, but the ability to convey and teach that knowledge and practice to others is a natural-born gift, and Kathy Yang is blessed in full with just such a full complement of qualities. Her demeanor and character are the best advertisement that what she knows does indeed work, and, while patience remains a virtue, my own experience was that the restorative effects of her Brocade Qigong were immediate and lasting.

Kathy's knowledge and skill in Qigong and TCM is self-evident. Kathy has an enquiring mind and can interpret your questions, so as to bring you to a point of understanding. Kathy is tenacious and forthright which gives you the impression Kathy is someone to trust and build a long professional relationship with. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kathy to anyone who is starting their TCM journey or a seasoned practitioner who would like a different perspective.

In a simple, clear and very enjoyable way, Kathy is able to introduce the world of TCM to people who have never heard of the subject or are still new to it. She reaches the heart of her listeners directly, inspiring them in the process of healing itself. In Córdoba, more than 160 peope applauded her workshop on "Qigong and TCM for the Harmonization of Emotions." We are very happy to have her wisdom whenever she visits us in YMAA Latin America.

Kathy has the marvelous gift of connecting with people's hearts when she teaches—communicating with all her heart, mind and spirit combined. She is a brilliant martial artist, who performs with a blend of strength, elegance and grace. I enjoy very much working together with her!

Many thanks to Kathy for her genuine and sincere teaching. She knew, without words, what keys I needed to advance, progress and build me up stronger. Her gentleness and power, and the spirit she embodies, are also many subtle teachings that she has passed on to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Kathy is a natural teacher. Her entire approach was wonderful. She was very systematic which made the points easy to follow. She allowed discussion and validated people's input, but then brought everything round to the primary point and clarified it. When someone revealed that they misunderstood a concept, she gently, but clearly, corrected it. I have been in education for many years. She is, perhaps, the best teacher I have encountered.

Each time my school hosts Kathy, we love her teaching—the content, her pedagogy, and her qualities as a human being. It is a rare chance to be able to learn from someone who is so knowledgeable, approachable, and human.

Kathy is a remarkable person who embraces others with her gentle nature. I could listen to her for hours—for guidance and to learn with great fun.

I attended a Qigong and Tai Chi Push Hands workshop led by Kathy Yang this past summer and was very impressed how knowledgeable and how well she taught these topics. She has managed to step out of the enormous shadow of her father, Master Yang Jwing-Ming, and has come into her own as a skilled martial artist, teacher and doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

What I appreciate in Kathy's teaching is how she is honest, earnest, and wholly committed. She gives all her attention to you from the beginning to the end, and always makes sure her instructions are very clear and specific. Moreover, once she knows your goals, she will not hesitate to show you the right path to achieve it.

Kathy Yang's expertise and enlivened approach to teaching Medical Qigong made the subject come alive for me - for the very first time after years of study. She is remarkably gifted as a teacher, caring as a healer, and so eager to grow and learn it boosts your spirit.

I cherish all that is shared and all that I learn from Kathy. I feel as though we go to a very special place together. Through her group classes and private lessons, Kathy introduces people to something that is life-changing—how we eat, how we move, and how we understand our bodies. It is all a part of what she provides for her students. Life is precious, and Kathy Yang leads us to a much greater appreciation of who and what we are.
