In-person Integral Qigong and Tai Chi schedule is below. (Online sessions are on hiatus.)
STANDING OR SEATED PRACTICE
• All exercises and sequences can be undertaken while either standing or seated.
• No prior experience is necessary.
WEDNESDAYS, 9:30-10:30AM
INTEGRAL QIGONG AND TAI CHI
Pomona College Organic Farm, 295 E. 1st St., Claremont, CA
This is the given address, but it can be tricky to find. We practice at the entrance, under two large Live Oak trees that are just east of the marble statue of the goddess Pomona! If you don't know the remarkable site already, request more detailed driving/biking/walking directions at MindBodyLosAngeles@gmail.com.
THURSDAYS, 10:00-11:00AM
INTEGRAL QIGONG AND TAI CHI
Bethel United Church of Christ - Congregational, 536 N. Euclid Ave., Ontario, CA
The parking lot is behind the church. The best way to enter is up the ramp from the parking lot and through the back door. We'll either be in the church parlor (cooler in the summer) or in the sanctuary. Just meander until you come upon us!
FRIDAYS, 9:30-10:00AM (half-hour only)
TAI CHI EASY™
Pilgrim Place, "The Castle," 733 Plymouth Rd., Claremont, CA
I lead fellow residents of this intentional / retirement community. Non-residents are welcome, too! Tai Chi Easy™ is an abbreviated form of Tai Chi: five moves, instead of the traditional 108! This half-hour instruction follows a half-hour of "Shibashi Qigong" (9:00-9:30AM), a practice that was established here by former residents in 2011 and has continued peer-led by current residents on an on-going basis ever since. If you would like to join us, please contact me in advance at MindBodyLosAngeles@gmail.com.
FIRST FRIDAYS OF THE MONTH, 9:00-10:00AM
INTEGRAL QIGONG AND TAI CHI (half-hour), followed by TAI CHI EASY™ (half-hour)
Pilgrim Place, "The Castle," 733 Plymouth Rd., Claremont, CA
On first Fridays only, I lead fellow residents of this intentional / retirement community in an abbreviated (half-hour) practice of Intregral Qigong and Tai Chi. Non-residents are welcome, too! Afterwards, at 9:30AM, I continue with the half-hour of Tai Chi Easy™ that I provide every week. If you would like to join us, please contact me in advance at MindBodyLosAngeles@gmail.com.
FIRST and THIRD SATURDAYS OF THE MONTH, 9:00AM-10:00AM
My Silver Lake "Wilderness" practice (in Los Angeles). On-going since September 11, 2021, now twice-monthly since our move to Claremont in October, 2023. "The wilderness has no address!" Please write me at MindBodyLosAngeles@gmail.com for detailed driving/biking/walking directions and coordinates.
