Class Descriptions

All classes are Non-Heated.

Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga combines movement, breathing techniques, sound, and hand gestures to help you tap into higher levels of awareness. This practice strengthens your nervous system, balances your hormones, and awakens the energy at the base of your spine.

one-on-one private yoga

One-on-one yoga sessions are personalized experiences designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you're new to yoga, working through an injury, or looking to deepen your practice, these private sessions provide focused attention, customized guidance, and a pace that supports your unique goals.

Qi Gong

Qi Gong is a gentle, meditative movement practice that focuses on breathwork, energy flow, and relaxation. This class is designed to help reduce stress, improve circulation, and enhance overall wellness. Perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a calming and therapeutic practice.

Tai Chi

This class follows the Yang Style 24-form Tai Chi sequence, a graceful and flowing martial art that enhances strength, flexibility, and mental clarity. Because the form is taught in sequential order, previous Tai Chi experience is recommended for this class.

private tai chi/qi gong

Martial Fusion is a Cross Training System that fuses the disciplines of aikido, kickboxing, yoga, qigong, and meditation through the philosophy of the warrior meditator or β€œZENBU,” the seamless integration of internal healing arts (ZEN) and external martial discipline (BU) that appear contradictory but are, in truth, inseparable and one. This class is for all levels, and beginners are welcome.
