In this free online class we'll explore autumn through the lens of the Five Elements. I'll share lifestyle tips I give my acupuncture patients and Qi Gong students. We'll do a short guided meditation and some mindful movements to support balance during this seasonal transition. Come learn how to honor autumn's energy while staying grounded and clear.
In this six-week journey we will enter the teachings of the Alchemical Heart, as known to the ancient Daoists—the luminous aspect of the heart and shen that remembers our true alignment with Heaven and Earth. Through subtle qigong practices, meditation, and sacred ritual, we will: • Return to our center and restore harmony within • Open to guidance from the realms of spirit allies and subtle wisdom • Root deeply into the Living, Breathing Earth while remaining open to the vastness of the heavens • Receive teachings and stories passed down from ancient Daoist masters and living lineages • Use simple invocations to weave our heart together with the heart of the cosmos
Qigong class series organized around a common theme. Each practice is a 60-minute balanced practice session drawing from moving, breathing and meditative practices. The theme of this series is Qigong Walking. Qigong Walking practices are an enjoyable way to bridge our Qigong practice and daily life. With the help of the rhythmic pattern of walking, these gentle practices grow our awareness of the movement of energy within us, through us, and the energy exchange with the environment around us. They help us refresh our energy, develop healthy walking habits, improve our balance, and can even be used for specific therapeutic applications.

Join us on Zoom for an hour of Qigong with the Tai Chi for Health and Wellness team.
Learn Qigong practices that work with the three main states of energy (Wuji, Taiji, and Wuxing). We will explore our felt sense of the energies and how they can support us in daily life. Specific Qigong practices you will learn: Wuji Moving Set (clearing habitual patterns from your body and heart-mind, resetting your energy to its original state), Alternate Nostril Breathing (establishing healthy balance between the opposites of yin and yang), and Five Waves (harmonizing energy flow through the natural, rhythmic cycles of our days and lives). The format of the course will allow you to feel the benefits of consistent practice. We’ll revisit the same practices each week, refining our technique and deepening the practice. All practices are accessible standing, seated, lying down (with modification), or through intentional visualization. At the end of the course, you will have the skills to incorporate the practices into your life.
Qigong class series organized around a common theme. Each practice is a 60-minute balanced practice session drawing from moving, breathing and meditative practices. The theme of this series is the Taiji Moving Set from Long White Cloud Qigong, a set of movement exercises that work with the polarity of yin and yang (complementary opposites). The practice builds and activates the polarity, which then expresses as dynamic movement. Working with Taiji can balance all pairs of opposites within us, allowing energy to move more freely. For example, it can help resolve differences between left and right sides of the body, create harmony between sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the nervous system, and allow healthy, vibrant flow of energy into our life projects.
5-Day Breathing Challenge. I am bypassing the gym, weights, equipment and cardio to focus on the safest, zero-impact tool that you possess - Your Breathing. You are already breathing all of the time, so let's take advantage and build on it. Proper breathing can manage pain, restore energy, calm your nervous system, massage your organs and engage your core without stressing your body. (Note: This offering is available at any time so disregard the listing date).
Give yourself the gift of an adventure in the lush island of Dominica, where nature invites you to reconnect with your authentic self, awaken your spirits, and see your life from a higher, more inspired perspective – like the Sisserou parrot, gracefully soaring above the rainforest canopy. This retreat weaves together Qigong flow practices, guided meditations, wisdom-inspired sound journeys, meditations, self-reflection, meaningful group discussions, and immersive experiences in the breathtaking natural landscapes of Dominica.
I would love to share this remarkable country—and the profound practices of Qigong and Cha Dao (Tea as a meditation and spiritual path)—with you. The qigong practices, energy meditations, tea sessions with local Tea Masters, visiting magical teahouses as well as Daoist and Buddhist temples—the sights and sounds of Taiwan—will all give you experiences and tools to carry home with you that will continue blooming in your life for years to come.
