Workshops in September and October
We have two exciting workshops coming up with our very own Barbara Branaman Sunday September 25th - 2 to 4 PM
Fundamentals of QiGong/TaiQi Pricing:
Early Bird until September 10th - $30
After September 10th - $35
The sharpness of the mind, the strength of the body, and clarity of the spirit are all essential for health and vitality. QiGong exercises train the body physically but influence the mind and spirit as well.
In this two hour workshop, we will learn the fundamentals of QiGong, including:
- Meditations and exercises designed to relax the muscles, increase energetic awareness, and "root" the body deep into the earth
- How to use breath, posture and movement to cleanse, refine, accumulate and circulate Qi (energy or lifeforce) in the body
- Integrating breath, movement and intention to promote health and balance while getting a full mind-body workout.
- Gentle yet powerful exercises that work on the primary organ systems in the body
- How to use QiGong to lower your stress, improve health and recover from injury
Sunday, October 23rd - 2 to 4 pm
Medicine Yoga Workshop: Developing Your Own Personal Practice
Pricing:
Early Bird until October 10th - $30
After October 10th - $35
In this workshop, we will go through a practice while discussing how to structure a practice to serve you and your body. Like a story, your practice has a beginning, a middle, and a resolution. We start with a warm-up, followed by dynamic whole body movements and poses, and close with stretching and relaxation. Time will be allowed for questions and exploration of different adaptations of poses and movements. We will also incorporate other techniques from the world of strength and conditioning, and concepts from QiGong and TaiQi that complement your yoga practice |

Smile please - we want your picture
In the past 18 months we have increased our members significantly and therefore find the need to have pictures attached to your profile in our systems.
We also have members with identical names which makes it confusing for the front desk.
Starting September 1st as you sign-in for a class, the front desk will request you to share your beautiful smile and take a picture of you.

Know your Yogi friend
Michael Beauchamp
For the past 16 years I have been running an investment consulting practice through Morgan Stanley.
I like to play golf, fish, coach, and mentor the youth of almaden.
I have two boys. Eric is a sophmore at Leland and plays football and basketball. Drew is a 7th grader at Bret Harte and plays baseball, basketball and golf.
I love how my body feels after a yoga class and my favorite yoga poses are pigeon and childs pose :)
The Lincoln Lawyer movie was really good. Country music and KRTY are what you'll hear while driving in my car, and my most recent read was the Bernie Madoff Story. |
