It is truly a joy to be teaching in person again. My online membership programs are now firmly in the rear view mirror, but I do remain available for private tutoring and corporate sessions.
Here are my current and upcoming classes and events – stay tuned, this page is always evolving!

In addition to the scheduled classes below, I will also be subbing periodically in the various Senior focused classes. My regularly scheduled class is called “Mindful Movement” which is based on the Eastern breath focused movement disciplines of Qigong (which, loosely translated, means “energy cultivation”. Most of these sessions easily adapt to sitting for part or all of the session depending on our needs. The general format of this 45 minute class is (usually…) as follows:
** warmup, usually joint opening, meridian tapping, or dao yin yoga forms
** connect to the breath — usually with Tai Chi inspired forms most often based on the Yang Style Short Form, minus the choreography that is characteristic of Tai Chi.
** 1 or 2 qigong sets — There are approximately 20 different fixed Qigong sets that I commonly use, including The 8 brocades (Ba Duan Jin), 5 Animal Frolics (Wu Qin Xi), various 5 elements practices, TaiChi Qigong 18 Form (Shibashi sets 1 & 2), The Muscle & Tendon Change Classic (Yi Jin Jing), and all programs from the Long White Cloud Small Universe system of Qigong.
** Zhan Zhuang — static posture work (usually in the Xing Yi Quan tradition) to build strength and structural integrity.
** close with centering forms and finish in a standing, silent meditation
