Grand Master Yap Cheng Hai
One of the world’s most sought-after speakers and master trainers in Classical
Feng Shui, Grand Master Yap Cheng Hai has spent most of his life studying Chinese traditional
arts. Though he’s now primarily known as a Feng Shui master, he is equally well-versed in
Chinese medicine, martial arts especially Wu Shu, Qi Gong, metaphysics, palmistry and philosophy.
Grand Master Yap’s reputation as a Feng Shui master pre-dated the worldwide
fascination with Feng Shui that began in the 1990s. As early as the 1960s, he already did Feng
Shui readings for family and friends. As his reputation grew, he was called on to consult for
private clients and corporations the world over. He also accepted apprentices, many of whom are
now Feng Shui experts in their own right.

excellence for traditional Chinese cultural arts. The first phase of the academy’s development
focuses on the propagation of authentic Classical Feng Shui.

people aspire to become Feng Shui practitioners, there is a pressing need for an institution where

Yan Shou Gong caters specially to modern Qi Gong practitioners.
