We had so much fun at our Balance Workshop at Bowman Library last weekend!

We shared about, and experienced, actionable tips on how to improve our balance using tai chi and qigong movements. These ancient arts teach us to slow down and listen to the body, lessons we often miss in our fast-paced modern world.

Join us for our next workshop at Bowman Library on Saturday, September 12, 1-2:30pm. We'll be sharing about Heart and Blood Health in Chinese Medicine, and how Tai Chi and Qigong make yours better! ☯️❤️🧘

We hope you're joining us tomorrow (Thursday!) for our FREE VIRTUAL QIGONG offering!

Welcome to the month of August! This final month of summer will offer us an opportunity to begin to slow down and appreciate the hard work of growing that we've (ideally) been doing so far this year. Our attention will slowly turn towards harvesting the fruits of our growing season as the days continue to lengthen. This time of the year asks us to turn our attention away from the fires of summer, and towards the Earth element that supports the turn to the late summer season.

To support your own growth and harvest of the energy you've cultivated this year, we invite you to join us at any of our classes listed below! In August, our featured workshop is our Balance Workshop, and we invite you to join us at this month's Tai Chi Wisdom Circle as well, which will honor the late summer and harvest season energies.

Let's talk about balance, and how yours is - and how tai chi can help improve it!

📍Saturday, August 8, 1-2:30pm
📍Bowman Library, 871 Tasker Rd Stephens City VA

As we age, our proprioceptive system tends to get less input, which affects our overall sense of balance. Our muscles can also become tighter and more restricted, which also impacts our balance. Tai Chi is uniquely suited to help rebalance the body, internally and externally. This FREE workshop will give you information, actionable tips, and the movement experience to help regain your sense of dynamic balance and equilibrium. ☯️❤️🧘
