Pilates Fundamentals with Sue Lembeck-Edens
- The Pilates Method of body conditioning is a unique system of
stretching and strengthening exercises developed over ninety years ago
by Joseph H. Pilates. It strengthens and tones muscles, improves
posture, provides flexibility and balance, unites body and mind, and
creates a lengthened body. Pilates is a work-out with a
difference. It develops core abdominal strength, so that whatever
activity you undertake, your skeleton is supported and your spine
protected.
Pilates Fundamentals is a class designed for the first time
Pilates student and for people who wish to experience a gentle approach
to Pilates mat work. This class focuses on learning Pilates
terminology, proper body alignment, and execution of Pilates mat work.
Very Gentle Yoga with Mary Ellen Litzinger
- In this class we will explore the relationship between breath and the
mind/body connection. Breath has the potential to influence how
we move our bodies, interpret our thoughts, and create our vision of the
world around us. Using a combination of focused breathing
exercises, guided meditations and gentle yoga stretches and postures, we
will experience how breath and the mind/body connection work together
to create physical and emotional well-being. This class is
appropriate for students who would appreciate a non-strenuous
introduction to yoga, or who would like to learn new strategies for
managing stress. Students who have limited mobility are also
encouraged to attend.
Kids' Kung Fu with Instructor Michael A. Vollero(夏崇义)

military styles (Karate, Taekwondo, etc.). Our small structure Kids' Kung Fu Class is open to boys & girls ages 10 -14, and enrollment is limited to only a few students per
section. This structure keeps the classroom focused and constantly growing, without the set backs of your child getting lost in the numbers.
If your child has expressed
interest in studying the martial arts, or Kung Fu in particular, Spring & Autumn Martial Arts offers one of the only Wudang Style Kids' classes in the country. As featured in the new
Karate Kid movie (w/Jackie Chan), we invite you to bring your child to try martial arts from a more holistic and personalized approach. NOTE:

Meditation & Qigong with Instructor Michael A. Vollero(夏崇义) - The practice
of Qigong traces back thousands of years in Chinese history as a key component in traditional longevity practices. The practice of meditation helps one deal with life and keep
the mind in tune with the body. In this ongoing course, students will work with a variety of Daoist Qigong practices, along with practicing a handful of beneficial meditation practices
to utilize in daily life. By training these skills and working the body and breath together, a practitioner will begin understanding their mind and body on a deeper level, and achieve a
higher sense of unity in their daily lives.
Spring & Autumn Martial Arts offers a unique view on meditation, as we approach the study from a Daoist mindset.
Meditation is not to seclude or distance one's self from the world and worldly life, but instead, is used as a tool to embrace the mysteries of the world, and experience a more
fulfilling sense of life from one's current place. NOTE: Sign up is only through
