Bagua

All Students Welcome
Bagua or baguazhang is an internal martial art – its beautiful physical movements are based on the universal spiraling energetic patterns as described in the I Ching. Bagua is great for meditation, building external and internal strength, creating a calmness and resolve that is needed not just for martial arts but for many aspects of our day to day life.

 What You Will Learn
In this class, Bruce will continue teaching the different aspects of Bagua. Bagua is all about change, and in that spirit Bruce will be teaching with spontaneity based on the energies of the day.

Yang Style Tai Chi

All Students Welcome
Tai chi forms were born out of connecting the original standing postures of Daoism to create movements. Yang style Tai Chi, known for its larger frame, opens up the body quickly, while still using softness and releasing to open the body and develop internal power and strength. Master Bruce Frantzis studied from the direct lineage with some of the best Yang Style masters of our time.

What You Will Learn
In this class, we will continue to progress through the moves and detail of the Old Yang Style Medium Form.

Master Bruce Frantzis studied from the direct lineage with some of the best Yang Style masters of our time and passed it on to Senior Instructor Craig Barnes who has been studying and teaching Tai Chi for decades.

What You Will Learn

In this class, Senior Instructor Craig Barnes  will take up from where we left off last session, continuing through the movements of the first section of the form. This will be the ideal preparation class for beginners wanting to learn Yang Style and take Master Frantzis’s class. For those who have been following along with the Yang Style classes with Bruce, this will be a good opportunity to review and solidify the moves that Bruce has shown.

Daoist Meditation

All Students Welcome

The Water Tradition of Lao Tzu is a specific branch of meditation that trains practitioners in pragmatic methods to delve deeply inside themselves, cope with stress, and flow smoothly through challenging moments and changing times. 

What You Will Learn
You will learn techniques such as the Inner Dissolving Method, a technique to release blockages, so that you can become clearer and healthier in body, mind and qi.

The primary focus will be on how to direct the subconscious mind to contact and transform that which is inside you. From a Daoist perspective, when you release all that is false or conditioned, whatever remains must be true to your essence. This is the path.
