Surprise! Open Workout on Sunday, October 27 and Upcoming Qigong Workshop, Sunday, December 8, 2019

Greetings!

OPEN WORKOUT, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2019

Location: 150 Locke Street South

Time:  1:00-3:30pm

Fee: No charge

*Qigong session, 1-2pm, is open to everyone

*Tai Chi sessions, 2-3:30, are for intermediate and continuing students

I booked the studio at the Regent Health Centre for a workshop this coming Sunday, October 27, 2019, and then failed to plan anything for it, in all the rush of getting classes going this month. SO I'll be using the time to run an open workout. This is a session you can attend for no additional cost, if you have the time, and you want to come practice. The schedule:

1-2pm: Qigong

This will be a 101 flow session during which we'll stretch and move and focus our minds. Like my regular Qigong classes, it's open to everyone including beginners, no experience required. (If you're a Tai Chi Beginner and you haven't tried Qigong yet, this is a great opportunity to come give it a whirl! If you're already a student at The Regent Centre and you want to bring a friend, please invite them! There's no charge for this session.)

2-2:45pm: Intermediate and Continuing Tai Chi

Come practice and ask all your questions! Experience with the whole Tai Chi set is required.

2:45-3:30: Other Internal Martial Arts

We'll run through Sabre, Hsing-I, Sword, and Lok Hup—to help you remember the sets you might have forgotten. I won't be teaching these sets from scratch—this is a practice session for those who have already worked with them.

If you'd like to come, please RSVP at smithmk2@gmail.com or (905) 521-0043.

QIGONG WORKSHOP, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2019

For those of you who wish class lasted a lot longer, and who want to do a deeper dive on some of the techniques and exercises we cover, this is the workshop for you! We'll celebrate the impending winter equinox with a slow, stretchy, and contemplative afternoon. In addition to working with warm-up exercises and Eight Silk Brocades, this workshop will include a shamanic trance journey—a form of meditation where we use drumming to assist us—to enhance your experience and set you up for a beautiful holiday season.

Location: 150 Locke Street South

Time:  1-5pm

Fee: $60

Open to everyone, no prior experience required.
