(last updated Thursday, September 4, 2023)
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 corporate events.
Here are my current and upcoming classes and events – stay tuned, this page is always evolving!

Kettle Moraine District YMCA (West Bend and Saukville/Port Washington)

Details at each branch below but here’s a quick summary:

Tuesdays – 10 am Mindful Movement @ Feith Family
Thursdays – 10 am Mindful Movement @ Feith Family
Fridays – 10 am Mindful Movement @ River Shores
Note — Schedule change starting Monday, Oct 2nd, 2023. Dropping Mindful Movement session at the West Washington branch and adding a session immediately following Meditation at River Shores — new Monday schedule will be:
8-8:30 am (Meditation). 8:45-9:30 am (Mindful Movement) both in the Spirit-Mind-Body (SMB) Studio at River Shores, then 11:30-12:15 Senior String at the Feith Family branch – Studio A/B
In addition to the scheduled classes below, I will also be subbing periodically in the various Senior focused classes, including Senior Strong at Feith Family branch and both Active Aging and Chair Yoga at the River Shores branch. I also teach two of the sessions (Mindful Movement and Meditation) for the Livestrong groups, a free YMCA program for cancer survivors. My regularly scheduled class is called “Mindful Movement” which is based on the Eastern breath focused movement discipline 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 your 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), 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
