Dear Qi-friends,

I hope you’re all enjoying the summer while getting a healthy dose of Yang energy!

Here’s an update as we look to the (not so distant) fall.

The summer schedule will continue to labour day weekend with the usual offerings of 2 Yoga classes and 2 Qigong classes per week. Please note that I will be taking a week off starting August 7th and another week off starting August 28th. Recordings from the previous week’s classes will remain available to DYA members while I’m away.

Starting September 11th, I will be switching my schedule to three 12-week terms per year. The other terms will begin in January and in May. During each term, all class recordings will be accessible on a private site to members. This will allow students to practice any of the classed from a given term throughout the duration of that term.

The two weekly yoga classes (now called Qi Flow and Shen Restoration) will continue on Mondays and Wednesdays, 10-11:15am PT.

Each month, on a Tuesday morning at 8:30am PT (either the first or second Tuesday of the month) I will offer a live Tiger’s Waist practice. This will be recorded, uploaded, and made available for the whole term.

And finally, each term I will be offering an in-depth 12-week Qigong course in lieu of Vitality Essence Qigong. This fall is an exciting new course on:

The 8 Brocades

Learn and practice the Eight Brocades Qigong according to ancient Taoist Master Li Qingyun. Considered the root of all other Qigong exercises, they are very effective for attaining good health, vitality, and longevity. These are performed while seated on a cushion or chair and are accessible to all.

Introduction to the 8 Brocades and Longevity Teachings of Li Qingyun on Eventbrite:

Saturday, September 10th, 11-12:30 PT - https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/390701808627

Followed by 12 weeks of classes - Thursdays 5-6pm (on Zoom or in-person at Taghum Hall), running September 15th to December 8th (No class October 13). Pricing is $15/drop-in or $150 for the full course. All classes will be recorded, uploaded, and made available for a year for DYA members as well as for those who purchased the course.

All are welcome : )
