What You'll Experience

The first half of each class focuses on gentle Tai Chi Ruler exercises designed to encourage:

• Better balance, posture, flexibility, and coordination

• Smooth circulation of vital energy (chi)

• Gentle movement and physical vitality

• Relaxation and mindful awareness

The second half transitions into Mantra Yoga, featuring mantra meditation music, mindful breathing, relaxation, and sacred sound to help quiet the mind, reduce stress, improve focus, and cultivate greater inner peace.

  • No previous experience is necessary

  • This is not a martial arts class; it is a simple and gentle Taoist Yoga practice suitable for beginners and experienced participants alike.

  • Please wear comfortable attire

  • Light refreshments and herbal tea will be served after class

A Welcoming Space for Body, Mind & Spirit

Whether you're looking to improve balance and flexibility, relieve stress, increase mental clarity, or simply give yourself one peaceful hour each week, this class offers a supportive environment to nourish both body and mind.
