Cancelled: Taiji Flow Class Replaced with Dan Wu Dao

The Taiji Flow class slated for October 28 is being replaced with a Dan Wu Dao class.

Dan Wu Dao is a qigong training system that develops and strengthens awareness of qi, our vital life force, through practice of the basic stances used in Qigong and Kung Fu.

It improves posture, balance, physical strength and mental focus, for integrating body, mind and spirit.

The class will include stretching and warm-up exercises (some floor stretches), practice of basic qigong forms, and meditation. The later classes in the series will practice the Dan Wu Dao sword form.
