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. Min 6/Max 20 Class does not meet: 09/27 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. Min 6/Max 20 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 Min 6/Max 16 Class does not meet: 11/27 Awareness through Movement Supervisor: Liz Visteen Resilience of Mind & Body for facing life's challenges!
