We're moving into fall, and this class honors that transition. In five element theory, late summer turning to autumn is metal element time — the season of the lungs and large intestine, of grief, and of letting go. White light breathing and metal element qigong open the class, working with the lu...

The block is back, and this time the focus is balance and core strength — two things that are deeply related and rarely trained together. The standing work on the block asks the small stabilizers in the foot, ankle, and hip to actually show up, which changes how the core engages. When your base i...

This one has a particular quality to it — we spend real time at the beginning finding the ground, not as a concept but as a physical experience in the feet and pelvis. The qigong forms build from there, working the relationship between rooting down and the ease that comes up through the spine whe...

We open with a standing sequence that's all about getting the spine to actually move. The qigong forms here are chosen specifically for spinal rotation and lateral movement, the directions that tend to get abandoned first when life gets busy. From there we settle into the floor work with some rea...

If your hips are the place where everything seems to get stuck, this one's for you. We spend the first part of class in qigong forms that work the hip girdle in ways that feel genuinely different from stretching — slower, more interior, more about breath and release than range of motion. The psoa...

This one is built around the lymphatic system — the body's internal drainage and immune network that most movement practices completely ignore. We open with tapping, bouncing, and specific qigong forms designed to get lymphatic fluid circulating, which changes the quality of everything that follo...

This class has a particular quality to it- less about working hard and more about finding the current and letting the body move through it. We open the chest and arms with Spiral Palm qigong, then the small ball comes in as a precision tool for spinal decompression, hip and sacrum release, and ab...

We start by finding a tripod — the bubbling spring points at the soles of the feet and the tip of the tailbone — and settle into the idea that the more anchored that base feels, the lighter the spine becomes. From there we clear: a vacuum-like scan through the body to release anything held, physi...

This is genuinely what I do when I wake up and my back is uncooperative. We start with shaking — letting the fascia hydrate and energize before anything else is asked of it — then move into a sequence that teaches the difference between actually opening the lumbar spine versus just pressing the s...

If your shoulders and upper back are where you carry it, this class works back to the source. We start by freeing up the lumbar spine and psoas through a specific breathing pattern — the kind of thing that makes everything else in the class feel different. From there we move into crane qigong, a ...

We start standing with a shoulder and spine warm-up, then spend real time on a subscapularis release — the internal rotator that lives between your shoulder blade and rib cage, and is often the hidden source of shoulder restriction. Once that's open, everything else in the class benefits from it....

We open standing with shaking — an ancient Taoist practice that gets the fascial fluid moving and wakes up the cardiovascular system before you've done a single exercise. From there the whole class is organized around one point: the Ming Men, or gate of life, at the lumbar spine. Everything we do...

We open with a quick standalone warm-up — joints, breath, spine — the kind of thing you actually have time for before heading out the door. Then we settle into a full class built around one idea: your nervous system is the thread connecting everything. The qigong, the floor work, the abdominal se...

Qigong to open, then a yoga block turns up the heat — hip flexors, stability, abs, and scorpion push-ups

We open with qigong — separating clouds, lung form, teacups — and then the block comes out and it gets interesting. Standing single-leg work on the block challenges your hip stability in ways...

We open by listening- outside first, then inward - and spend the whole class building what I think of as your container: the infrastructure in your meridians, tissues, and energy centers that lets you actually hold and use whatever you bring in. We move through standing qigong including knock on ...

We start by just settling in — waking up the belt channel, getting the arms swinging, letting the body remember it knows how to move. From there we lie down and spend some real time with the breath, not thinking about feeling it, but actually feeling it. Then we come back up for lung and kidney q...

This class is amazing to opening the hamstrings, hips, and shoulders, and to challenge the whole body in a new way. Changing orientation from mat to floor is a new level of feedback
