Tao Te Ching (Lao Tsu) The Three Treasures
The first is Love.
The second is moderation.
The third is humility.
If you love, you will be fearless.
If you are moderate, you might always sense the abundance in life.
If you live in humility, you will be widely trusted.
These weekly classes help you build an active awareness of posture and breathing that strengthen spinal support and deepen the alignment of breath and body during your sitting meditation practice.
Emphasis is given to increasing inner awareness of posture, cellular connection, stillness, and inner balance.

Some warm ups – to mobilise and relax the body/mind and prepare for sitting.
Structure and alignment – body postural awareness alignment of the spine.
Spinal breathing – to support and maintain a more upright and balance posture whilst sitting.

About Dan - in his own words...
I have been working with Complementary Health Modalities for 30 years. Studying various physical therapy systems, not only to learn and to practice but also as a means of personal development. The single constant throughout that journey, the thing that bound all my therapy training together and gave me a framework to explore wellness has been my practice of Chi Kung.
