The healing art of Taoist Yoga is based on WuXing, the Chinese five alchemical elements of Earth, Metal, Water, Wood & Fire as they are transmuted into Qi (vital life force energy) within the body by moving and static postures to create well being and balance within the body, mind & spirit.
Taoist yoga also combines Indian and Chinese traditions and is generally considered to be a hybrid of the two systems. It is said to be appropriate for all people, regardless of their fitness, age or body type.
During class I guide you through a gentle flow of moving and static postures, incorporating the controlled inhalation and exhalation of the breath to circulate and build chi without over stretching the muscles and tendons. This is a deeply healing practice which will develop strength and flexibility in the mind, body, and spirit.
***I’m currently offering this class as a modified gentle class absent of floor yin yoga postures and replacing them with a time of stillness and quiet meditation for the yin portion, this can be done sitting on the floor or laying down. If you need a chair for the sitting portion please let me know before class ***

I received my Taoist Yoga Teacher Training Certification in 2013 from Heng-Ni (Todd Grube) former owner of DownDog Yoga, West Reading, and Damon Honeycutt.
