Just a quick reminder that our evening classes on Thursday, October 31st are cancelled so we can be spooky at home and appease goblins by giving them candy!
All classes will run as usual in November.
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.
RSVP at smithmk2@gmail.com or (905) 521-0043.

For beginners, Tai Chi has four weekly classes starting up. Go here to read more about Beginners Tai Chi.
Qigong will resume with a focus on Eight Silk Brocades this fall. We'll be doing a deep dive on this powerful classic set. Beginners welcome.
Continuing Tai Chi practitioners can look forward to learning or reviewing Tai Chi Sword on Fridays and Saturdays. (Don't worry, I haven't forgot about Push Hands...it'll be in the mix too!) On Thursday evenings, we'll be doing a deep dive into foundation technique.
View our weekly schedule here. More information about upcoming workshops will be available soon.
