​Introduction to Yang Snake Style Tai Chi
Tuesdays at 10:30am

The Yang Snake Style is a dynamic tai chi method that mobilizes the spine while stretching and strengthening the core body muscles. Practicing this ancient martial art increases strength, balance, flexibility, vitality, peace of mind, and martial skill.

Snake style tai chi uses core body strength to initiate movement. Through discussion and practice, students will learn the principles of snake style movement, learning stretching exercises to help create the strength and flexibility needed to create this movement, and be introduced to the tai chi form. For in depth instruction, beginners arrive at 9:30. At 10:30 all levels practice stretching exercises and the tai chi form together. Please wear loose clothing and flat shoes.

Ida Schmulowitz has been practicing Yang Style Tai Chi since 1984. She has been studying Yang Snake Style since 2005 with Bao Tak Fai (Master Robert Boyd of Burlington,Vt. ) and is a certified Snake Style instructor.

Class fee: $5.00 members; $10 non-members per class; payable directly to Ida.

Join Jodie from Body+Soul for an upbeat workout!

Discussions focus on a variety of non-fiction readings, which are distributed at least a week in advance. Discussions are led by the group member who selects the reading and is responsible for having copies made.

Leadership of the discussion rotates weekly and, while encouraged, leading a session is not essential for participating in the group. Selected readings of a piece of non-fiction prose should be 1) interesting to discuss, 2) thought-provoking, and 3) not too long (typically under 15 pages). Anyone is welcome to join this group on an occasional or regular basis.

The titles of the readings are listed in the weekly E-bulletin, and copies are available to members online (whenever possible) and in a folder by the front desk a week prior to their being discussed.

Readings recently discussed covered a wide range of topics--cabbage strudel, American exceptionalism, burkinis, healthcare, the history of prohibition, coffee, and much more--humorous, serious, and informative.

Autumn Meditation Circle

Enjoy a time of centering silence, meditation, and mindful reflection. The Circle is a simple and welcoming time of listening to the silence, sinking into our hearts, and gently practicing the art of being still. Open to all--experienced or brand new to meditation--we are invited to hold space with one another to help deepen our inner awareness and develop our individual practice. As in past Circles, we will continue to share in a quality time of sitting silence, meditate on various poems and passages, and share open, honest and mindful conversation with one another.

ZOOM - Painting Workshop for All Levels - Fridays from 10am - 12pm 

September 4, 11, 18, 25

Nothing can compare to an in person class, but zoom painting classes are a good alternative! I can see student work and comment on it as the class progresses, and other students can see each other's work, and have a dialogue as the class goes on.  After each class students email me a photo of their work that I put together in an email and send around to the members of the class. The photos can show more color and texture than holding up the piece on zoom since everyone has different lighting in their rooms.

I present an assignment for students to work on. It might be setting up a particular still life in front of a window, to see light patterns inside and out, painting an interior of the room, or painting a still life of their collection of cleaning supplies. Students have also painted outside in their backyards.  If a student has a particular project that they would like to work on, that is also something I can help with.  
All levels are welcome and as usual experimentation and expression are encouraged!
