Somatics
Experience Clinical Somatic Education—gentle, guided movements designed to release muscle tension and restore your body's natural alignment.
Internal Martial Arts
Are you curious to try Qigong or Tai Chi, Bagua, and Xingyi? We've got you covered. These Kung Fu styles combine power, grace, and fluidity.
Martial Improv Games
Our unique partner practices. Through playful drills and interactive games, you'll learn to move dynamically and test your skills in a respectful environment.
““Learning Clinical Somatics, I was able to slow down and focus on areas of my hips and lower back that haven't moved correctly for a while.
What I like about the partner practices is that if you have a particular art that you study, and you have techniques that you learn—there are people who come that come here who study different arts–so you have the opportunity to respond to what they're feeding.”

WHAT TO EXPECT
Movement snacks served 3 ways.
Somatic Sessions: Unwind on the mat. Through breathing and targeted "center-outward" movements like the Arch and Flatten, you'll learn to release deep-seated physical tension.
Martial Arts in the Park: Connect with nature in a structured group flow. We practice warmups, core movement patterns, form sequences, and close with a restorative Qigong cooldown.
Martial Improv Games: Play with a purpose. Partner up to tackle physical puzzles and movement prompts where the game itself becomes your teacher.
