Dear Qi-friends,

Happy Solar & Lunar New Year!

I hope you had a wonderful Holiday season and are feeling refreshed and ready to usher in the New Year. The upcoming year of the Water Rabbit promises to be more peaceful and prosperous. Welcome news for sure!

Just a quick reminder that the Winter Term begins this coming week, beginning Jan. 16th, with Qi-Flow Yoga, Shen Restoration Yoga, and Tiger’s Waist Qigong. We’ll be exploring the Taoist 5 Powers (or elements) for the first 6 weeks of the term in all our classes.

The term will consist of 8 straight weeks of classes, then a 3-week spring break (Mar. 12- April 1), followed by 4 more weeks of classes (ending April 19th). All class recordings will be uploaded and made available to members throughout the term. Drop-ins are always welcome.

The 6-week Tiger’s Waist Qigong & Taoist 5 Powers Course begins Thursday, January 19th, and will run Thursdays 5-6pm PT. This standing Qigong is an excellent compliment to the seated 8 Brocades course we just finished. Speaking from personal experience, I can honestly say that Tiger’s Waist is an extremely beneficial exercise when done regularly. I do it every day!

“Tiger’s Waist is a dynamic, graceful and fluid Qi-Gong exercise that provides a great workout for all skill levels. It is a health and longevity practice found in a number of Taoist lineages. Through the circling of the hands in conjunction with twisting and breathing, it makes the breath and vital energy of the body strong so as to benefit one’s physical, mental, and spiritual health. The exercise takes a little over 3 minutes to perform and is repeated up to four times with short breaks in between, taking no more than 30 minutes in total. It requires no props and can be done anywhere.”

Each class will also focus on a particular Taoist Element to inspire and awaken the power of these energies in our body-minds.

The TW Qigong Course will run via Zoom from January 19th to February 23rd. Pricing is $15/drop-in or $108 for the full course. DYA members can join for free. All classes will be recorded, uploaded, and made available for a year for DYA members as well as for those who purchase the course.

AND a reminder, that you can always purchase the Seated 8 Brocades Course at any time since all the class recordings, from start to finish, will be available for a year’s time.
