Dr. Yang Back from Santa Cruz

28 September 2009

Dr. Yang's first-ever California book signing and seminar event outside of the Retreat Center was a huge success.

Driving down from the Retreat Center located up in Northern California, Dr. Yang and disciples visited Fremont, CA, where they were greeted by Ms. Gigi Oh and Mr. Gene Ching of Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine. Upon arrival, the hosts took the group out to lunch followed by an interview with Dr. Yang and a photo shoot for the magazine.

Soon after leaving Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine, Dr. Yang and disciples rushed to Santa Cruz to drop their belongings off at the home of Mr. Tony Galis, a friend and seminar student. Dr. Yang and disciples then made their way to Gateways Bookstore in downtown Santa Cruz for a two hour long lecture and book signing. More than 50 people showed up for the event, packing the store.

The Santa Cruz Integrative Medicine and Chi Center hosted Dr. Yang for two day-long seminars, the first being Embryonic Breathing and the second being Four Seasons Qigong. Both seminars had successful turnouts with participant counts of over 40 students each. Dr. Yang and disciples were greeted by the Santa Cruz Chi Center's owner, Mr. Lee Holden, as well as many old friends from the past. The two seminars were filled with many hours of questions and answers, as well as practice under the personal instruction of Dr. Yang. The group departed Santa Cruz after two knowledge-packed days, returning to the Retreat Center with memories, new friends and a great experience.
