Biography of Master Iurii Khomiakov
A lifelong journey of discovering the connection between body, mind and energy — begun in Ukraine, continued in the United States, and shared today with students around the world.
In short
Iurii Khomiakov (also written Yuriy or Yury Khomiakov) is a Qigong master with more than 20 years of practice and teaching. His path began in Ukraine and continues in the USA, where he teaches in person in Florida and Cooperstown, New York, and online for students worldwide.
Teaching people how to enter the practice.
Over two decades, Iurii has noticed the same pattern again and again: people struggle to feel energy not because they lack the ability, but because no one has taught them how to properly enter the practice. His teaching starts there — awakening the body first, so breathing techniques and Qigong exercises have something real to build on.
Iurii’s focus is practical and honest: restoring energy, bringing body and mind back into balance, and reconnecting students with their own inner awareness. He is cautious about big promises — and convinced of the body’s remarkable ability to adapt and grow stronger with consistent practice.

Ukraine — where the practice began
Iurii’s Qigong path began in Ukraine — with breathing, posture and stillness, learned the traditional way: step by step, under the guidance of teachers. Among them was the Chinese Qigong grandmaster Xu Mingtang, whose seminars drew students across Ukraine, and Iurii went on to study with other teachers as well.

In his own words
Why I practice Qigong.
“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.”
