What can you do with 20 minutes? With Tai Chi, quite a lot! You don’t need any equipment or even a lot of space to enjoy this subtle workout. Tai Chi(or Taiji Chuan) traditionally is a collection of postures or “forms” that you move through in a routine. In this Flow-on-the-Go, we’ll move for 20 minutes through a series of Tai Chi forms to reduce tension, work your joints, and improve mobility. Over time, you’ll feel better and stress less. Movements will come from differentschools but mainly will follow Yang Style Tai Chi. Not sure? I get it – if you haven’t tried Tai Chi before, it may seem different. But I often compare the movements to a hike in the woods. Yoga brings students into postures that they hold in place. Tai Chi moves that balance into and between postures, so your balance flows with you. This is a small slice of time just for you,whether you’re starting out your day or smack in the middle of it. Work your body, relax your mind, and go with the flow.

This class is great for all levels and will provide you with practices to improve physical and mental health, manage stress, reduce anxiety, and cultivate a relationship with your own consciousness using movement techniques, breath work, and meditation from Kundalini & Hatha Yoga and Tai Chi. The fusion of disciplines makes the exercises accessible to all and relaxing! Level: All levels/Beginner What You'll Need (5): A space dedicated to 45 minutes of self-care. Yoga mat not required. Comfortable clothes recommended. Tip: Open a window to let a little fresh air in! If it's cold, put an extra layer on.

An interactive workshop that gives teams the tools to hold higher expectations of themselves and teammates. We've found that performance is a team effort rather than a solo endeavor. High performers are not only self-motivated but are also held to high standards by those around them. The saying "you are the sum of the people closest to you" holds true in the workplace, and we see this in our 20+ years of Human Performance Data. However, holding high standards leads to a common challenge – there is a real tension between pushing teammates to excel and (at the same time) supporting each other. We know how to help teams strike that balance. This hands-on workshop quickly builds one of the key skills need for teammates challenge each other effectively: bias toward improvement. After our “in practice” workshop, we will cover some of theory that underpins these techniques including growth mindset, stress-is-enhancing mindset, the mentors’ dilemma, radical candor and more. Who this is for: Teams who are looking to raise the bar and reach a higher potential.

Join us for an effective guided meditation, where we unlock our potential to go beyond our thoughts and emotions to touch that deep silence and peace that exists within all of us. Research has shown that when we are able to reach the state of mental silence, where there is absence of thought, we activate our para sympathetic system which takes us into the state of rest and digestion. In this state, we recover, heal, and rejuvenate in all 3 dimensions, mental, physical, and emotional aspects. It neutralizes the effects of stress, anger, anxiety and fight or flight response mode we operate in. With all this goodness, naturally our behavioral patterns and relationships improve over time. Come, experience the power and benefits of mental silence! All levels are welcome!
