Astanga Yoga (any level)
Burn up to 350 calories
Qigong/Taichi (any level)
Burn up to 350 calories Ancient Chinese disciplines involving a continuous series of controlled and slow movements. We will practice Qigong exercises as a way to ready the body to practice Yang 24 Simplified Taichi, the practical application of a martial art designed to improve physical and mental well-being. Using the breath, we will ground, center, and open, moving into colorfully named postures, improving our balance and moving with confidence. As you begin to move energy around, you will be astounded at how good it makes you feel and how easy it is to do anywhere! What to wear: Comfortable clothes and shoes Water Aichi (any level)
Burn up to 300 calories A form of Qigong/Taichi practiced in warm water, we will move through 38 steps, starting with "Contemplating" and ending with "Surrounding", using the breath to energize us. An incredibly great workout without the impact of gravity, moving in water focuses the mind and allows us to work the body in a way we cannot do on dry land. Excellent for feeling like you CAN, when you've been feeling like you can't. What to wear/bring: Modest swimsuit, unitard, diveskin, or swim shirt and shorts/pants, and swim shoes or barefoot
