DRAGON SPIRIT ARTS Yogic & Mindful Movement
Our offerings range from Vinyasa Flow Style Yoga to Yin Meditations and Back to Basics with accessibility to all levels, while including the introductory teachings for Brand New Yogis/Beginners. For those with limited movement, like active seniors or pregnant mothers, we offer Mobility Flow classes, plus community outreach practices in Recovery/Trauma Informed Yoga, Tween/Teen Yoga & Baby & Me/Family Yoga. In addition, we offer the Internal/Martial Arts practices of Qigong & Tai Chi, accessible to all bodies, at any age even for those with physical restrictions. 

YOGA FOR BRAND NEW BEGINNERS
Enter this practice with a “beginner’s mind.” This class focuses on the fundamental principles of alignment and breath work in a flow of postures linked together by the breath. The intention is to create a healthy practice to help avoid injury that may be encountered at a more advanced stage by building a solid foundation that will support a sustainable practice in years to come. The flow / Vinyasa aspect of this practice is slow paced, incorporating simple variations. Students will be introduced to yoga postures through step-by-step verbal description and demonstration. Bring your own yoga mat. Props (Blankets, Straps, Blocks, etc.) will be provided. Modified poses & posture flows will be offered as needed (please be sure to give advanced notice prior to attendance if there are any mobility issues, so we can plan accordingly). While this practice is geared toward Beginners, it’s appropriate for all levels of experience.

When: Sundays, 10:00 – 11:15 am; 4 Weeks, April 2-30 (No Class 4/9); May 7-June 4 (No Class 5/28)

T’AI CHI & QI GONG FOR EVERYONE

This Mindful Movement Meditation practice cultivates centering the Mind, steadying the Heart and aligning the Body with the Breath. Expect an Internal Arts approach to a practice in balance with the Martial Arts systems from which it originated. The sessions incorporate excerpted movements from various Traditional Chinese Medical Theory & Taoist Qigong (Chi-kung) techniques, as well as T’ai Chi forms. This movement practice is accessible to most everyone, often using the entire space to take movements across the floor space & other times using a small amount of standing space, which allows for modification in seated position if needed (please be sure to give advance notice prior to 

attendance if there are any mobility issues, so we can plan accordingly). Appropriate for Experienced Beginners & Intermediate Practitioners.

When: Mondays, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm; 4 Weeks, April 5-26; May 3-31 (No class 5/10)
