Tai Chi

Meditation in Motion

  Tai Chi is based on balance and fluid movement. You can expect slow, twisting movements that loosen the joints and ease muscle tension.

  In this class we focus on basic posture and breathing, shifting weight, softening the hips and shoulders, and using the waist to guide our movement.

We will be practicing outside year round, so be sure to dress for the weather!

Qi Gong

Invigorate Your Body and Mind

A combination of deep breathing and mindful movement, some have nicknamed Qi Gong; Kung-Fu Yoga. 
  Qi Gong 氣 功 translates to mean, "breathing practice". 氣 Qi = Air, 功 Gong (or Kung) = Practice.

Qigong is a metarobic exercise, like Yoga and Tai Chi. This means low intensity movement combined with deep breathing. Expect to leave these sessions feeling rejuvenated!
