Brian “Yosh” Yoshioka earned his Master of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine degree at Yo San University in Los Angeles, CA. He first became interested in acupuncture in the 1990’s when he was successfully treated by a family friend for food poisoning. He went on to live in Japan in the 2000’s and became well acquainted with acupuncture, Tai Chi and Qi Gong. Upon returning from abroad, he dove deep into the study of Tai Chi and Qi Gong, and is currently a Tai Chi instructor at the Lau Kune Do Temple of Martial Arts. It was his love for Tai Chi and Qi Gong that inspired him to go on to study acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. Similar to martial arts, acupuncture is a skill set that requires both physical dexterity and mental acuity. For Yosh, acupuncture is a way of uniting the mind and body to assist others in making the quality of their lives better. He specializes in pain management, stress relief, anxiety alleviation and overall wellness balancing.
