Our Classes, Courses, and Services
Qigong
Classically practiced for thousands of years to promote the overall health and wellbeing of Body, Soul, and Spirit, Qigong (translated literally as "energy work") is now gaining increasing popularity in our modern times as scientific research supporting its many profound benefits continues to grow. A gentle and flowing practice, it is well suited to practitioners of any age or physical ability and can be modified to fit any special needs or time schedule. Learn the foundational concepts of this ancient energy practice and how they correlate to modern medical science, along with a wide array of individualized movements and routines to support the health and longevity of the total being.
Chen Taijiquan
Chen style Taiji originated in Chen Jia Gou and is the oldest extant style of Taijiquan. Unlike many of the more modern styles, it has retained much of the original essence of Taijiquan as a functional martial art. It is generally characterized by a strong focus on the concept of chán sī jìn (纏絲勁) or "silk reeling," which refers to the incessant coiling and spiraling woven into all movements of the form.
Holistic Wellness Consultation
Our Holistic Wellness Consultation is designed to provide our clients with a wealth of tools and information on how to attain and maintain optimal health and wellbeing while addressing the whole being - Body, Soul, and Spirit. Have your questions answered from a qualified herbalist, nutritional coach, and qigong practitioner to gain a more complete understanding of utilizing natural herbal, energetic, dietary and lifestyle practices to promote optimal function and wellbeing.

Meditation
Meditation is perhaps the most well-known and foundational of all mind/body practices. With a continuously growing wealth of information being released on the broad array of benefits which can be experienced through its practice, meditation has become more popular around the world and across all walks of life. From the temples of the Far East to the offices and boardrooms of modern Western society, it is practiced to support mental, physical, and spiritual health by more people than ever before. Learn how to effectively utilize this ancient practice for a multitude of specific concerns in our detailed and immersive classes.
Sun Taijiquan
The youngest of the five styles is Sun style Taiji. This style is both flowing and beautiful to watch. The creator of this style was Sun Lutang. He was said to have been a master of both Xing Yi Quan and Baguazhang, and he combined both of these along with Taiji to create his style. Sun style is characterized by simple but effective movements. These movements are great to nourish the qi and increase mobility. This style is great for all ages to practice.
Connecting Mind & Body (5 year program)
The Connecting Mind and Body 5-year Program is a comprehensive and structured training program which is designed to guide the dedicated practitioner through a progressive development from beginner to competence within a five year span. This program is tailored to those students who are committed to reaching higher levels of practice and offers much more depth than the basic classes in taiji, qigong, and meditation offered above on a standalone class basis.
Thunder Tao Neigong & Neidan
Neigong (internal or inner work) is the next step beyond basic Qigong practices. While Qigong is excellent for promoting overall health and vitality, Neigong practice is essential for reaching the higher levels of power and potential which lie dormant within each of us. In this Neigong and Neidan (alchemy) training we will learn to unlock and activate these secrets of profound transformation.
Online Courses
In addition to our in-person and virtual classes and consultations, we also offer a wide range of online courses available by monthly subscription.
