She has practiced Qi Gong for many years. It was very meaningful for her to learn Qi Gong at a time of personal strain and fatigue due to the challenges of balancing the demands of a young family and the time and emotional requirements of her work. Qi Gong became a lifelong practice for Young. She teaches weekly in two locations in the Chicago community. One of the classes is at Weiss Memorial Hospital in their community health outreach program.
