Training Guide
“I give you the key.
It is up to you to open the door.”
Master Zhen Hua Yang
“It’s not about the movement. It’s about what’s behind the movement.”
Master Zhen Hua Yang
Calligraphy Health training is offered in the form of either a 10-day intensive course or a shorter workshop, consisting of a set of movements/forms meticulously taught by Master Zhen Hua Yang. Each day of the training introduces new knowledge and movements, forming a comprehensive set that participants can later practice independently at home.
These movements not only open up the body and mind but also act as a bridge, allowing students to connect with themselves and explore the underlying principles embedded in this internal art.
Calligraphy Health blends the benefits of somatic movement and meditation. Through movement integrated with breath, focus, intention, and internal organ work, students gradually delve deeper within, deepening their connection with themselves and unlocking their body’s wisdom and self-healing potential.
Experience over theory
Master Yang’s training approach prioritizes personal experience over theoretical learning. This method values the insights gained from connecting with oneself during practice and understanding the method’s principles through personal exploration. “The more you practice, the more you understand” says Master Yang.
1. Calligraphy Health
Calligraphy Health in-person courses and workshops are divided into two types:
1. Progressive Training in Organ Service – a five-part series.
2. Specialized Training – focused on specific areas such as trauma, digestion, hormonal health, and more.
1.1. Progressive Training in Organ Service
The core of Calligraphy Health practice is divided into 5 Parts of Organ Service training, that are taught over a 10-day course. Each part has been created by Master Zhen Hua Yang to serve a specific purpose and to build upon each other. Together, these parts form a comprehensive system that enables gradual and optimal development in the internal arts, working holistically with the physical and energetic body to progressively realign and balance all internal systems.
The progressive training can begin from any Part between 1–3, but it is advised that students follow the original, suggested order. You are welcome to participate in more than one part at any one time. Parts 4–5 are for experienced students only.

Part 1:
Body – Mind – Organ Connection
In this course we begin to learn to harmonise body, mind and internal organs.

Part 2:
Spiral Body – Spiral Organ
Through spiraling and elongating movements we open up, realign and release accumulated emotions that are stored in the body.

Part 3:
Heaven in Love
This course is about finding your home and touching your soul. Connecting with heaven energy but remaining connected with the ground.

Part 4:
Energy and Vibration
This course works on opening up the central channel to release blockages that are held deeper in the body. Tapping and shaking exercises are introduced here.

Part 5:
Compassion Through Self-love
With the Upper and Lower Dan Tian working in synergy, we can now learn to open the heart center or middle Dan Tian, to develop compassion towards self and others.
Process
You can join a single or multiple parts at once. Routines taught during the courses give students the independence to practice later at home. The skills acquired during the training are sufficient for a lifelong self-practice that can complement any lifestyle, activity, religion or spiritual path.
Students who are interested in taking their practice to deeper levels can also repeat the training multiple times. Each time a particular part is repeated the practitioner is taken deeper into the transformative process of Nei Gong. Calligraphy Health is an internal practice. It is not about the number of different movements and forms, but about the depth and quality of the practice.
During the courses Master Yang shares his knowledge and skills, but it’s up to the students to continue the practice at home and to develop their practice further, accessing their body’s own inner wisdom. “I give you the key, but it’s up to you to open the door,” says Master Yang. The skills of this internal self-healing art will naturally evolve if a student continues to practice after the in-person training with Master Yang.
Participants
Calligraphy Health is accessible to anyone and doesn’t have any restrictions.
1.2. Specialised Training
Process
Each course is rooted in the principles of Calligraphy Health. However, unlike the progressive training, which addresses the whole body, specialized courses are designed to target specific issues or areas. The training length varies from 2 to 7 days.
Participants

Frequently Asked Questions
How many courses should I do?
This will be different for everyone and dependent upon what outcomes you are wishing to achieve. It will vary based on the person’s body, mind, experience, health issues as well as self-discipline. Some students feel that one course is enough for them while others decide to come back for in-person training on a regular basis.
How much and how often should I train at home to see results?
This depends on one’s health and the results they wish to achieve. Just as acquiring new skills requires practice, so do the skills you will learn with Calligraphy Health. The simple rule is that, in the beginning, more practice leads to better results. For more advanced students, the quality of their practice becomes more important than the quantity.
We suggest 45 minutes, 3 times a week as a minimum for beginners; 1 hour, 5 times a week as an optimal routine; and 2 hours, 5 times a week for those with serious health issues or those aiming for rapid progress.
Do I need to do in-person training or can I practice only online?
Nothing can substitute the in-person experience, and whenever possible, we always encourage people to join live training. However, not everyone can join in person, and online training also yields positive results, especially for those who are consistent in their self-practice. We have many students who practice exclusively online and report noticeable shifts in their bodies.
How can I become a Calligraphy Health teacher?
In the Calligraphy Health system, there are no formal exams to become a teacher. Instead, teacher certification follows the traditional Dojo approach, where the Master assesses your proficiency and decides if you are ready to teach. Currently, this path is only available through in-person training and is based on the progressive “Organ Service” training. Typically, one must complete at least Organ Service Part 1, and often several more courses with Master Zhen Hua Yang, before being recognized as sufficiently skilled to teach others. However, in cases of exceptional potential and motivation, Master Yang occasionally makes exceptions to this process.
Who else can I learn from other than Master Yang?
Calligraphy Health has many teachers worldwide. Please refer here. The teachers listed on the website have been chosen by Master Yang as his most experienced, though there are many more teachers worldwide.
Will Calligraphy Health work with other internal energetic practices such as yoga?
Yes, Calligraphy Health helps reconnect the body and mind, grounding oneself in a way that supports the development of any other practices the student undertakes.
I’m a professional athlete and/or an outdoor sports person, how can Calligraphy Health support that?
Master Yang has trained numerous professional athletes, including Olympic medalists, and sports teams, helping them reach the top of their fields.
As an internal practice, Calligraphy Health unites the physical body with the mind and internal energy, enhancing the body’s efficiency and effectiveness. This is why the practice has such a positive impact on athletic performance.
Are these movements difficult to learn? I’m concerned I might not be able to keep up.
Do I need to attend all the classes during the course? I’m concerned it might be too many hours of practice for me.
The in-person events are structured to maximize learning and foster independence in practice. For those less active in their daily life, the training hours might seem like a lot. However, with Master Yang’s guidance and group support, the daily training is thoughtfully balanced to ensure both comfort and effective results for all participants. Everyone is encouraged to take breaks as needed, honoring their body and its needs, so the training amount can always be adjusted to suit individual comfort levels.
