Tai Chi-Qigong is a healing exercise for our body, opening blocked energy channels through proper posture, breath work, and advanced concentration within graceful movement. Through this practice the condition of cells, muscles, bones, and joints are strengthened and revitalized, improving the function of internal organs and intestines.

Tai Chi (TaeGeuk) is the principle of the cosmic energy cycle. When cosmic energy is created and eventually reaches its peak, instead of disappearing, the energy converts into a different type of energy, thereby continuing its lifecycle.

Qigong is the understanding and application of the Tai Chi principle into our lives. We can embrace the cosmic energy cycle and transform ourselves, leading a less self-centered and more altruistic, devoted life.

In this beginner-friendly class, students will work up a sweat through simple yet effective intervals that combine cardio bursts with strength-building moves.  You’ll improve endurance, boost muscle tone, and learn proper form in a supportive environment. Expect an energizing workout that meets you where you are—and helps you get stronger every week.

Ready to go from the couch to crossing the finish line? Whether you're a brand-new runner or returning after a break, this class will guide you every step of the way toward running a 5K or achieving whatever running goal you may have.

You’ll learn how to layer clothing for different weather, choose the right shoes and gear, and follow a beginner-friendly training plan that balances challenge and recovery. We’ll also talk about the mental side of running: staying motivated, having fun, and even dealing with a little pain along the way. Students will be running on low-traffic roads in the Bronxville area. This class is designed to end just in time for students to participate in a Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. (Please note, races are not included in the fee for the class.) All students should come to class with a goal in mind, whether it is a 5K or another personal achievement.

As we age, all of us fall into habits of using our bodies in ways that they were not intended for. Over time, muscles become overstretched in some places and under-stretched in others, pulling our bones out of alignment and resulting in pain. In this slow yoga class, the focus will be on using targeted yoga postures (not all yoga postures are helpful) to rebalance muscle groups and encourage realignment for the prevention and reduction of pain... so maybe we won't have to pop a Tylenol to get through the day! In addition, this class includes instruction in mindfulness practice and stress reduction--important elements of every yoga session.

Using Chair Yoga as the foundation of this class, the focus will be to develop and increase balancing skills critical for staying strong and safe.  Balancing, whether you’re walking, running, jumping, and especially while standing, requires muscle strength and strong bones.  Over time muscles and bones can weaken, causing us to lose strength, and balancing becomes more of a challenge.  BUT…strong muscles and bones are not the only factors that keep us from getting wobbly.  The sensory systems have a huge impact on balance.  The receptors that enable touch and feel, the vestibular system (the complex inner ear workings), and vision have a profound impact, playing havoc with the ability to balance.  Using a series of exercises that integrate both strength and agility with the sensory systems, done on and off the chair, you will align your bones and joints.  Not only will you gain strength and balance more easily, but you will also feel more balanced.
