“Explore life,
without fear. That is greatness.”
-Wim Hof
March showers bring
April flowers! What an amazing March, in spite of those nasty bugs
going around!
Our current and
updated schedule is available. No new classes, just a few tweaks to
some class times. I do have new classes planned for June and will
keep you posted.
Our one day in house
retreat was a wonderful day for an inward journey. 37 people gathered for breath work, gem studies,
shoulder girdle and scapula analysis, lunch catered from Dragon City,
and movies featuring Master Liang and others. We capped it off with a
nice slow round of the solo form. Lovely!! My sincere thanks and
gratitude to Mary Jo Feely for the class on the Chakra and
corresponding gems and stones, Jane Shockley for her introduction to
the function and anatomy of the shoulder and direct applications for
the arm movements for standing and solo form, and Dan Polsfuss for
taking us on a stroll back in time to see the “Old Man” himself!
