Get ready for our upcoming qigong course: The 8 Pieces of Brocade (八段锦 Bāduànjǐn) — one of the most beloved and time-tested practices in all of Chinese health culture. Dating back nearly a thousand years to the Song Dynasty, this sequence was created to strengthen the body, nourish the organs, and support everyday vitality. The name “brocade” refers to fine, elegant silk — a reminder that these movements weave health and energy through the body as beautifully and smoothly as woven cloth. At its core, the philosophy of the 8 Pieces of Brocade is simple: gentle, mindful movements can create powerful change when practiced with intention. Each piece focuses on a different function of the body — from opening the lungs and improving digestion to calming the mind and supporting the kidneys. Together, they form a complete system that balances strength and softness, grounding and lightness, effort and ease. A steady practice can help you feel centered, energized, and deeply connected from the inside out. Stay tuned. Stay rooted. Stay open🌱

Here’s our updated schedule for the coming weeks. ⚠️ Please note that after December 19th, the final two weeks will shift for the holiday season — those dates will be announced soon ⚠️ As we enter the last month of the year, we want to say great job for being here and staying connected to your practice. If you’ve been a little on and off lately, that’s totally okay too; this is a beautiful moment to gently return and reconnect with your practice. If you haven’t joined a live session yet, consider giving it a try — the energy, support, and presence of practicing together can make a big difference. 🌱 Every Tuesday & Thursday - Weekly Qi (Qigong) 8AM - Qi & Flow (Tai Chi) 8:30AM 🌱 Every Sunday - Weekly Qi (Qigong) 9AM - Qi & Flow (Tai Chi) 9:30AM ✔️ All times are listed in Pacific Time (PST). ✔️ All sessions are recorded and available in the community classroom if you miss the live session. ✔️ You can find the link for each live session in the calendar tab. (We’ll also post the link a day before.) Let’s finish the year strong, steady, and mindful❄️
