Movement   

The knee and ankle joints provide stability and mobility for our daily movements, such as walking, sitting, standing, and balance. These important joints can affect the posture of the whole body and vice versa. When we use them in a way that is not efficient, it can create extra force, friction, and sometimes pain. Join Patricia Wahl, Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner & Movement Coach, for two weeks of learning how to apply intelligent movement to the use and function of your knee and ankle joints to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and improve balance. You will also be given audio lessons to practice at your convenience. This class is suitable for all abilities.

“Strengthen your core” is a big buzz phrase in the fitness, rehabilitation, and exercise industries. So, what exactly is your core? How do you access it?

You will be able to apply this knowledge to your everyday movement and sports. This class is suitable for all abilities.

The MELT Method is a gentle, self-care technique that enhances mobility, stability, and performance and is clinically proven to reduce chronic pain while restoring overall well-being.

Exercises are done on the floor. For more information on MELT, please visit www.meltmethod.com.

Tai Chi-Qigong is a healing exercise for our body, opening blocked energy channels through proper posture, breath work, and advanced concentration within graceful movement. Through this practice the condition of cells, muscles, bones, and joints are strengthened and revitalized, improving the function of internal organs and intestines.

Tai Chi (TaeGeuk) is the principle of the cosmic energy cycle. When cosmic energy is created and eventually reaches its peak, instead of disappearing, the energy converts into a different type of energy, thereby continuing its lifecycle.

Qigong is the understanding and application of the Tai Chi principle into our lives. We can embrace the cosmic energy cycle and transform ourselves, leading a less self-centered and more altruistic, devoted life.
