Core Mastery

The dictionary definition of the word core is; the central or most important part of something. You've probably heard about the importance of core training, but what does that even mean, and even if you think your training it, how can you be sure your doing it right? Find out how this not so well understood aspect of our bodies is paramount to strength, flexibility and preventing injury.

Learn how to turn your midsection into liquid steel, dynamic, flexible and indestructible.

This class will discuss the functions of the core, what it is, does and how that relates to lower back injuries. Some exercises in this class may seem familiar to some but the depth with which we will explore them will be completely novel. Whether your interest is lifting weights, people or just yourself this class will greatly benefit your understanding of proper structural alignment.

Before there was a martial art there was this form of Tai-chi which primarily focuses on ones development of energy, body, and spirit. It aims to help one develop their energy sensitivity, health, and energy mastery. These teachings come from the Taoist philosophy of internal alchemy, also called Nei-Gong (internal cultivation). This class teaches the necessary foundations and philosophy to help one start on the path of internal cultivation of Taoist internal alchemy. Each experience of these forms of Tai-Chi help one achieve holistic health, inner peace, and evolution of self.

SkyFire Sword Performance

This workshop will introduce you to the practice of fire sword dancing as a path to creative realization & fulfillment. The principles of meditation, martial and performance arts are combined with a passion for dance to introduce practitioners to their bodies as living works of art. As you gain familiarity with blending handwork {techniques of object manipulation} & footwork {stances, steps, and leaps}, we practice moving our bodies and the swords to music. What results is yoga {union} between the practitioner, their sword and the beat of the music, opening the door to freedom & improvisation. If you have them anything that could be used like a sword, please bring {no edges please ;-}. If you do not have any, come anyway, as Michael has some to share.

Five Element Qi Gong Flow

We will teach you how to purge, tonify (strengthen), and regulate the five elements of the body with this Qi Gong flow. Qi Gong means 'energy exercise' in Chinese. In Qi Gong, we teach that the body is a conduit of Qi (energy) that is between Mother Earth (Yin Qi) and Father Sky (Yang Qi). According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, pain is resistance to energy flowing freely. In this five element flow, we encourage the flow of Qi through our bodies while we balance the metal, water, wood, fire, and earth elements, which are present in each of our bodies cells.
