Master Chen  again visited Atlanta for a long weekend workshop in 2009, and will return in 2010, dates and times to be announced.  
 
Below Master Chen's picture you will find the latest information on the class offerings and descriptions, and Videos and DVD's by Master Chen for pruchase.
 
Master Yun Xiang Tseng was  a child prodigy in China. At the age of six, he was found by his female grandmaster who recently moved on at the wonderful age of 130. He was brought to the sacred mountain Wu Dang to be trained by China’s pre-eminent masters in the ancient arts of Chi Gong and Tai Chi Chuan. Master Tseng Yun Xiang is truly a gift to all who have experienced his teaching. He is fully accredited by the Chinese government to teach Chi Gong and Tai Chi.  He has practiced the art of healing for over 20 years and is an expert in both the healing arts and many styles of Tai Chi.

Wudang Qi Gong

Wudang Qi Gong is a very ancient practice composed of techniques and movements to regulate the body, mind, and breath.   The techniques and movements not only increase range of motion, improve balance and add muscular strength, but they also improve Qi flow, open the meridian channels and help to develop internal power.
