Tai Chi + Qi Gong

Drawing on the wisdom of Chinese medicine and the traditions of martial arts, Tai Chi and Qigong teach you to move with greater awareness, balance, and ease. Gentle, flowing movements coordinated with the breath help build strength, flexibility, and stability, reduce stress, and cultivate an enduring sense of peace and well-being—benefits that extend far beyond the class itself.

  • "I started working with Joy four years ago in preparation for my son’s wedding. I had wanted to glide gracefully down the aisle with him, so we practiced the Alexander Technique to help with my posture and balance. Later, Joy incorporated MELT into my classes and it was a great way for me to stretch, strengthen, and work on my abs. Joy is patient but she has expectations, too. It is because of her that I feel better in my body these days!"
