UPDATE to the Mindbody login issue: Mindbody recently made a change that affects how accounts are set up. In the past, each studio had its own separate login. Now, everyone needs a Primary Mindbody account that works across all studios.

If you've been with us for many years, your account might have been created before this change. That’s why some of you are being asked to reset your password when you try to log in.

Just follow the prompts to reset — it should be quick and easy, and you shouldn’t have to do it again. But as we all know, technology doesn’t always cooperate!

If you're ever unable to pre-register for your class, don't let that stop you from attending - Please drop in and sign up in studio!

Chi Gong (Qigong) is a traditional Chinese practice that blends slow, intentional movements with focused breathing and mental awareness to support the body’s natural energy, called qi (or chi). It is gentle, adaptable, and accessible to people of all ages. We're excited to offer this weekday class in addition to our Saturday class!

Benefits of Chi Gong:

• Relieves stress and tension through calming breathwork and mindful movement
• Improves balance, flexibility, and coordination
• Boosts energy levels by enhancing circulation and flow of qi
• Supports the immune system and overall vitality
• Encourages mental clarity and emotional stability

About your instructor: I was born into a family of medical professionals—my father, a doctor trained in both Western and traditional Chinese medicine, and my mother, a nurse. Growing up in such an environment, the seeds of healing were planted early in my heart. Additionally, my deep passion for dance led me to follow my heart and devote myself to the art of movement—Qigong.

With Qigong being an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), I was able to quickly grasp its essence and earned certifications as an advanced Qigong instructor and an intermediate Tai Chi coach, under the guidance of a highly regarded Qigong master, Dr. Jessie Tsao. I can't wait to see you in class! ~Lee Lee

Tai Chi is a centuries-old practice that promotes balance, relaxation, and inner strength through gentle, flowing movement. Of the five major styles—Chen, Yang, Sun, Wu, and Woo—Chen Style is the oldest and most dynamic.

Characterized by fluid, spiral-like movements and standing meditation, Chen Tai Chi blends softness with strength, and stillness with motion. These practices are designed to awaken and circulate the body’s internal energy, or qi.

Join us for this beginner-friendly introduction series, where you’ll explore the foundational elements of Chen Tai Chi, including:

• Basic breathing techniques
• Fundamental movements
• Coordinated energy exercises
• The first section of the traditional Chen Tai Chi form

Whether you're new to Tai Chi or looking to deepen your practice, this is a perfect place to start.

Move with intention. Breathe with awareness. Awaken your energy.
