    Dao Yin for Beginners – Starting Monday, January 13th at 9:30am (EDT)

    Join us for a transformative 8-week journey into the ancient practice of Dao Yin, offered both in-person at Legacy Park (Yoga Room) and via Zoom. Dao Yin is the "grandmother" of Tai Chi and the "mother" of Qigong, focusing on the fundamental principles of energy movement and mindful alignment.

    In this class, you’ll explore Dao Yin as a method of "leading and guiding energy," helping you cultivate a deep sense of inner balance and connection. The practice encourages the body to change from the inside out, fostering comfort, alignment, and a powerful sense of well-being.

    Dao Yin is traditionally practiced on the ground, allowing you to connect more fully with your body’s energy. To ensure your comfort, please bring a mat and a blanket for the floor-based movements.

    Class Details:

    • Start Date: Monday, January 13th, 9:30am (EDT)
    • Location: Legacy Park Yoga Room (In-person) + Zoom (Online)
    • Online: Coordinates will be sent to those registered the day before.
    • In Person: Meet at entrance of main administration building (two story building behind turn around loop @ main entrance)
    • Cost: Free for Cooperative members and current students. For non-members, donations are welcomed via our website: www.taichi4lifecoop.org

    This class is perfect for beginners or anyone new to Dao Yin, Tai Chi, or Qigong. Whether you’re looking to improve your physical health, mental clarity, or spiritual connection, Dao Yin offers a gentle yet profound way to bring balance and harmony to your life.

    We look forward to practicing with you!
