SUMMARY:Sunrise Tai Chi & Qigong: The Fountain of Youth
DESCRIPTION:\n\n &nbsp\;Free your Skeleton from Being a Prisoner of the Soft Tissues&nbsp\;\n 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.&nbsp\;\n\n

SUMMARY:FROM MERE EXISTENCE TO BEING FULLY ALIVE A Journey into Joy\, Presence\, and Inner Aliveness
DESCRIPTION:\n\nJoin&nbsp\;Punnu&nbsp\;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.\nIn 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.\nWith depth and simplicity\,&nbsp\;Punnu&nbsp\;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.\nThis 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.\nA beautiful invitation to shift from merely existing into living with presence\, meaning\, and deeper joy.\n\n

SUMMARY:YOGA FOR LOW BACK HEALTH
DESCRIPTION:\nThere’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.&nbsp\;The question is why? And then\, how can we prevent it?\nI 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. \nFor 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.
