CLASS PROTOCOL: Classes start promptly, so it is important to allow time for parking, settling in, etc. Respect your healing time by being ready before the start of class. If you are running late, simply enter discreetly. It is preferable to practice on a relatively empty and un-caffeinated belly. Wear comfortable layers and arrive unscented, phones silenced. You are welcome to wear socks or bare feet. There are yoga mats, blankets, pillows, etc. Chairs are provided. If you are new to the practice and unsure, simply show up – whether in person or online – and follow along as best as you are able.
As always, I am available for your questions.

Student Praise
I want to express my appreciation for this practice and your generosity in offering it. It is such a blessing in my life to awaken the curiosity in my body and spirit. Your teaching is so gentle and clear. ~ Anonymous
As I have practiced these last weeks I have begun to feel the experience of groundedness, being strong in the yin and expression coming from there. I am seeing myself also have a more clear voice and boundaries in my relationship with my partner, and it feels so healthy. ~ Ingrid
It has been such a pleasure to practice qigong with you. Thank you for your generous offerings of classes. I am enjoying being in the river of these forms again… my body and mind and soul all enjoying. I appreciate your teaching style, and your own obvious personal practice which informs it. Thank you for your immersion and your dedication. ~ Susan M.
I’m so grateful to all my fabulous teachers, yourself included, who are sharing their skills with the world right now. Personally, I’m very grateful for the reminder to chillax, which qigong sends through my system. Thank you so much for your generosity and knowledge sharing!! You truly are a master of your craft! ~ Jennifer Delich
Thank you forever and always for you and your gifts, both of teaching and of the power of your presence and humility. Your class has been such a gift. I really can’t imagine what 2020 would have been like without you and your class to anchor and purpose me: you helped lay a foundation of resilience, good health, and growth during this time, thank you. ~ Margaret
