I offer practices for small groups or individuals in a nurturing learning space. My focus is on creating the best learning approach for you! Whether you choose individual or small group instruction you will receive clear direction tailored to your specific situation. You will be able to make your tai chi and qigong postures a part of your self-care routine. When you practice on a consistent basis you will feel even more benefit. Just one or two postures during the day can help you feel calmer and more centered.
Classes offered:
Basic Qigong
Qi means “energy”. Gong means “to work or gather”. These slow and gentle movements gather internal energy or Qi. As your energy and attention are gathered, instead of scattered, you will feel more peace and mindfulness. The postures are very beneficial when you feel depleted energetically. The flowing movements with deep controlled breathing are low impact and safe for all ages. As a daily practice the movements can help you maintain a greater sense of vitality and health. Some of these movements focus attention on specific areas of your body. They include stretching and walking postures. Many of them can be modified for sitting.

Tai Chi (Guang Ping Taijiquan)
This form has 64 postures strung together in a sequence. When practiced on a regular basis the form helps to circulate your internal energy or Qi in a complete way. It is a grand qigong practice that unifies the mind, body and spirit. It is often described as a “moving meditation” which centers you in the now by calming your mind and body so that your spirit can be uplifted. These postures, like the other qigong practices, have a connection to the movements and patterns in nature, including the movements of animals. This is reflected in the names of the postures we will study such as Wind Blows Through Lotus, Wave Hands Like Clouds, White Crane Spreads Its Wings and Wild Horse Flings Its Mane. Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese practice used for health, self-defense and spiritual attainment. Tai Chi is based on the Daoist philosophy of the One (Dao) manifesting into the many due to the everchanging yin and yang forces which governs all creation. Guang Ping Taijiquan is offered when requested.
