A message from Iurii
First, you need to awaken your body.
Most people begin practicing Qigong expecting immediate sensations — warmth, tingling, or flowing energy. But the reality is different: first, you need to awaken your body.
“My name is Iurii Khomiakov, and I am a master of Qigong with over 20 years of experience. Throughout these years, I’ve noticed the same pattern: people often struggle to feel energy not because they lack the ability, but because no one has taught them how to properly enter the practice.”
Qigong isn’t simply about experiencing unusual sensations. It’s about:
-
01
Restoring your energy
Gathering and refining energy through breath, posture and calm attention — so you feel more awake and resourced.
-
02
Bringing body & mind into balance
Slow, relaxed movement settles a busy mind and helps mood feel more even and steady.
-
03
Reconnecting with your body
Learning to listen to your body again — the inner awareness every deeper practice is built on.
I teach students around the world through online classes, as well as in-person sessions in Florida and Cooperstown, New York, USA.

Restore your energy
When energy runs low, Qigong practice begins with simple exercises for gathering and refining energy, calm abdominal breathing and the steady standing posture known as “big tree.” Many students describe feeling more awake, clear and resourced through the day.
- Gathering & refining energy
- Standing posture — “big tree”
- Relaxed, deep breathing
How Iurii helps: he first teaches you to awaken the body, so energy practice has something to build on — no chasing sensations.
Ask about energy practiceBring mind and body back into balance
Slow movement, relaxed breathing and gentle attention on the body help settle a busy mind. Students often say they leave class calmer, and that with regular practice their mood feels more balanced and even from day to day.
- Slow, rhythmic breathing
- Relaxation from head to feet
- Quiet, focused awareness
How Iurii helps: an unhurried, welcoming class where questions are encouraged and nobody is rushed.
Ask about mood balanceImprove your sleep pattern
A gentle evening practice slows the breath and releases tension held through the day. Many students notice that winding down feels easier and their sleep pattern becomes more regular — sometimes for the first time in years — when they practice consistently.
- Calming evening sequence
- Slower, longer exhale
- Releasing held tension
How Iurii helps: a short routine you can repeat at home every evening, practiced together in class until it feels natural.
Ask about sleep practiceFeel lighter and more alive in your body
Gentle movement opens the joints, softens stiffness and encourages the free flow of energy described in Qigong tradition. Adults of every age describe feeling lighter, more flexible and more vital — a natural, step-by-step body rejuvenation.
- Gentle joint-opening movement
- Upright, relaxed posture
- Microcosmic orbit circulation
How Iurii helps: every exercise adapted to your body, age and fitness — you progress at your own pace.

Why I practice Qigong
A lifelong journey between body, mind and energy.
For me, Qigong is more than a set of exercises. It is a lifelong journey of discovering the connection between the body, mind, and energy.
After more than 20 years of practice, I continue to explore its depth and share what I’ve learned with others.
What inspires me most is seeing students become more aware of their bodies, discover inner calm, and develop confidence in their own practice.
What my students say about me
A good teacher doesn’t simply demonstrate techniques.
“I believe that a good teacher helps students understand the practice, develop patience, and discover their own potential.”
“My goal is to create a welcoming environment where beginners feel comfortable, questions are encouraged, and every student can progress at their own pace.”
Beginners feel comfortable
No experience, special fitness or flexibility needed.
Questions are encouraged
Understanding the practice matters as much as the movement.
Your own pace
Patience over pressure — progress grows with practice.

Questions
Before you begin.
Honest answers to what new students ask most. Anything else? Ask Iurii directly.
Do I need any experience to start Qigong with Master Iurii?
No. Most students begin with no experience at all. Iurii starts by teaching you how to enter the practice — relaxing, breathing and awakening the body — so beginners feel comfortable from the first class and progress at their own pace.
What if I don’t feel any energy when I practice?
That is perfectly normal. In Iurii’s experience, around 90% of people who practice Qigong don’t feel energy at first. Sensations such as warmth or tingling usually come later, once the body has been awakened through regular, correct practice.
Are classes online or in person?
Both. Iurii teaches students around the world through online classes, and in person in Florida and in Cooperstown, New York, USA.
How often should I practice to notice a change?
Consistency matters more than intensity. Qigong doesn’t work by magic: regular practice — ideally a little every day — is what brings steady progress. Occasional practice brings limited results.
Is Qigong a replacement for medical care?
No. Qigong is a mind–body practice for overall well-being, energy and balance. It is not medical treatment and does not replace advice or care from your doctor.
