What can you do with 20 minutes? With Tai Chi, quite a lot! You don’t need any equipment or even a lot of space to enjoy this subtle workout. Tai Chi(or Taiji Chuan) traditionally is a collection of postures or “forms” that you move through in a routine. In this Flow-on-the-Go, we’ll move for 20 minutes through a series of Tai Chi forms to reduce tension, work your joints, and improve mobility. Over time, you’ll feel better and stress less. Movements will come from differentschools but mainly will follow Yang Style Tai Chi. Not sure? I get it – if you haven’t tried Tai Chi before, it may seem different. But I often compare the movements to a hike in the woods. Yoga brings students into postures that they hold in place. Tai Chi moves that balance into and between postures, so your balance flows with you. This is a small slice of time just for you,whether you’re starting out your day or smack in the middle of it. Work your body, relax your mind, and go with the flow.

As a strength coach, personal trainer, and longtime gym owner I’ve been preaching the longevity benefits of strength training for as long as I can remember. My general philosophy is this notion of training and strengthening your body as it was intended to move to allow for long-term functional capacity. One of the things I see as a coach, however, especially with new clients is how much unlearning must be done to perform these exercises correctly. In this class I'm going to dive into the "how to". This will be a more interactive session where I will teach a series of foundational exercises that you can then implement into your own program. You are welcome to come ready to exercise or just observe. There will be time built into the session to ask your own "how to" questions or to receive some specific coaching.
