Tai Chi & Intuitive Qi Classes
Conditioning (Wednesdays):
This class builds on the Awareness class by narrowing focus to widen your understanding of the movements. We will continue to to cover balance, breathing techniques, rotational movements, strength training, meditation walking & standing.
Awareness (Fridays):
This class is an interactive & fun way to improve balance and breathing techniques using rotational movements, light strength training, and meditation walking & standing.
Class activities may include:
· Using a broom stick or cane to assist in stretching
· Joint rotational exercises using light weight items
· Breathing exercises that teach how to expand and contract lungs and belly breathing
· Training the less dominant side of the body to improve ambidextrous abilities (assisting in everyday tasks such as dressing, brushing teeth, using utensils etc.)
· Eastern philosophy of moving Qi (life energy) throughout the body.
Sifu Vinny (Instructor):
I’ve accumulated over 40 years of experience practicing and teaching various martial arts including Tai Qi and Qigong. In addition to the core values of breathing and mindfulness, I place a strong focus on balance training with the use of props and household items that focus on skills that will support daily living activities. Current students have remarked that our sessions are fun, interactive, and relevant. After a recent class, one student advised he will never shovel snow “the old way” again!
