Sunrise Tai Chi & Qigong: The Fountain of Youth
Saturday June 27, 2026 8:00am - 9:00am EDT
Harborview Room


 Free your Skeleton from Being a Prisoner of the Soft Tissues 
Physical and mental stress, aging, injury, modernization, lifestyle, sickness, and lack of knowledge all contribute to a shrinking of the soft tissues (skin, fascia, muscles and tendons) on top of the skeleton and joints. This shrinking leads to a lower physical and mental quality of life. It may even lead to sickness and chronic conditions. Using Qigong and Tai Chi, we will learn how to free the skeleton and joints from being a prisoner of the soft tissues through gentle, static and dynamic stretching, deep breathing, mindfullness, energy work, and evoking the spirit while drawing from the nourishment of the rising sun.

FROM MERE EXISTENCE TO BEING FULLY ALIVE A Journey into Joy, Presence, and Inner Aliveness
Saturday June 27, 2026 8:00am - 9:00am EDT
Main Theater


Join Punnu Wasu for an inspiring and heart-opening talk that explores the deeper purpose of life, not simply to survive, function, or move through routines, but to live with awareness, joy, playfulness, and inner connection.
In a world that often pulls us into pressure, seriousness, and repetition, this session is an invitation to pause and remember the beauty of being truly alive. It opens a space to reflect on how easily we lose touch with the sacredness, wonder, and aliveness of existence.
With depth and simplicity, Punnu shares a perspective on life as something far more than a burden to carry. Rather, it can be experienced as a sacred journey, a mystery to be lived fully, consciously, and with an open heart.
This talk also gently points to the understanding that true direction in life cannot be forced by the mind, but reveals itself naturally through self-awareness, inner honesty, and openness.
A beautiful invitation to shift from merely existing into living with presence, meaning, and deeper joy.

The Core of You: Creating a Strong Center
Saturday June 27, 2026 8:00am - 9:00am EDT
Studio Theater
What is the core? It is more than just your abs! The Core is a container, a connector, a stabilizer and a facilitator of movement. We will discover that cultivating core strength involves more than crunches. We will look at when the core engages to stabilize movement and when it works to facilitate movement. We will practice some of the best ways we know how to strengthen your core… all 360 degrees of it. We will create a girdle of strength in your body. Leave with a feeling of confidence knowing your center is strong!

Spend an hour on your mat with the best version of yourself: the part who is grateful, resilient, confident, and strong.  The class will give us a chance to practice being uncomfortable. This will, in turn, give us confidence in our own ability to do difficult things, to soothe ourselves, and to ultimately handle whatever comes our way.  In other words, we will use our body for mental health -- we'll practice knowing our strength, our goodness, and remembering that we somehow, someway, always figure it out.

YOGA FOR LOW BACK HEALTH
Saturday June 27, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT
Studio Theater

There’s an epidemic of low back pain in America. It’s hard to find a single person who hasn’t experienced an excruciating episode of pain. The question is why? And then, how can we prevent it?
I think the answer to "why the epidemic of pain" is pretty simple. We sit too much. When we sit a lot our glutes de-activate and weaken. When that happens, it can lead to hip and back pain, often SI joint pain is a bi-product of underactive glutes. Our glutes are critical to supporting our pelvis and our lower spine. Strong glutes are central to healthy movement. There are other components to a healthy low back as well- core strength, length in hip flexors and length in hamstrings. I consider these important but secondary to the glutes. I have worked with many specialists and this is the consensus these days.
For 60-minutes we will practice a yoga class with our glutes as the main focus.. tho we will touch on core, hip flexors and hamstrings as well. We will follow up the practice with questions and discussion.

Qigong and Tai Chi to increase energy and reduce stress with Sunset Cleansing
Stress is physical, mental and emotional. This stress drains us on different levels, leads to stagnation and holding, or storing, “impurities.” Stagnation and lack of circulation leads to low energy, a weak immune system, and can lead to sickness. In this class, we will learn and practice Qigong and Tai Chi, as well as how to utilize the setting sun to dissolve, melt, and cleanse our physical and energetic bodies.
