Tai Chi
Supervisor: Liz Visteen
Tai Chi (Yang Style): Taijiquan (grand
ultimate fist) refers to a series of dynamic, connected
postures strung together in a smooth, flowing manner.
Within the postures are martial art aspects that are
largely hidden. Class begins with QiGong sets and
then moves on to emphasize the 24 posture Beijing
style (Yang short form). This class is often taken on a
continuing basis as a lifestyle endeavor.

QiGong for the Season
Supervisor: Liz Visteen
Experience the flow of energy (Qi) and the
power of self-healing. Learn how to combine static and
moving meditations with the Five Elements and cycles
of nature to cultivate your energy garden. Season-
specific foods will also be introduced. Many healthcare
practitioners are discovering and recommending
this Chinese bio-energetic system as a productive,
integrative therapy that supports wellness through
exercise.

Therapeutic Tai Chi
Supervisor: Liz Visteen
Class focus is on using breath and energy
techniques common to tai chi & qigong to
progressively bring about a state of balance and
stability. We begin with chair work to open joints
and release tension throughout the body. As the
class progresses, we move to more challenging
Temple style tai chi (can be done standing or
sitting) which supports strength, endurance and
balance. Many feel that the most valuable thing
about the class is that it retrains the breathing to
restore deep vitality
