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 practi-
tioners 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.

Awareness through Movement
Supervisor: Liz Visteen
Resilience of mind & body for facing life's challenges!
If you'd like to feel more 'at home' and 'at peace' in
your body this is the class for you. Current students
are "amazed at the reduction of pain and improve-
ment of "balance and flexibility." This class integrates
healthy biomechanics, core exercises, meditation and
clarity of intention.
