GROUP CLASSES

Open Level Qigong

Appropriate for people of all ages and fitness levels, this class explores the flowing, relaxing and revitalizing exercises of Qigong. An ancient Chinese form of healing movement, Qigong has been proven to build lower body strength, increase joint flexibility, lower stress levels, and enhance the immune system. Easier to learn than Tai Chi and totally non-competitive, this class will leave you feeling calm yet energized.

Zoom class schedule: Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday 9:30 AM EST. (see home page)

Free Live/Zoom Classes:
Every other Friday, 10 - 11 AM EST at Millbrook Library, Millbrook, NY. Register at millbrooklibrary.org

Tao Yin
(Chinese Style Yoga)

Tao Yin is a lovely, relaxing and enlivening series of exercises somewhat similar to Yoga, but using flowing, curving movements instead of static poses. Tao Yin incorporates breath and mindfulness to deepen meditative benefits, and I will teach acupressure points to massage as you stretch, further enhancing the circulation of energy through the meridian system. You may be very surprised how well your stubbornly tight muscles and joints respond to this integrated approach! This class incudes standing and floor work.

Employee & Corporate Classes 

A great way to build team work, encourage communication, lower work place stress, and stimulate creative thinking:  offer your employees the bonus of an in-house exercise class. One of my most successful programs!

Exercise is a great way to refresh and revitalize, either during the lunch hour or after work. Besides obvious health benefits, studies show it encourages mental flexibility and imagination, too. 

 I offer on-going classes in the exercise style of your choice: Yoga, Qigong (aka "Moving Meditation"), Mindful Strength and Flexibility, or a mixture of all three.

I also offer one-time, special events, such as the Qigong class pictured above in Central Park, NYC, for the annual meeting of bi-coastal employees of a national magazine.

The Tai Chi of Flexibility 

 This class combines Eastern Qi based flow with Western corrective exercise. Based on the ancient “Silk Reeling” technique, it teaches a stress-free way to mobilize stiff or achy joints and relax - lengthen tight muscles. In all my years of study, moving and teaching, I have found this to be the absolute best way to get flexible. It feels great, too: you don’t have to suffer to get flexible! Indeed, your body will probably respond much more quickly to this unforced, flowing, breath-ful approach.
