Longevity Tree
Experience the benefits of moving meditation
Longevity Tree is a beautiful and expressive moving meditation series that promotes health and wellbeing through qi gong and tai chi principles. As part of the Nam Hoa Internal Arts system of tai chi forms, it is loved for both its powerful and poetic qualities. I have found it to be a source of strength and peace over the last 20 years, and I consider it a great honor to share this tradition. Learn more about the origins of Longevity Tree

FAQ
Is this course open to everyone?
Yes! This course is open to anyone in good health. It is best if you are able to stand for an hour, but If you need support, you may also use a chair. Please remember that you are responsible for your own wellness. As with any program involving physical movement, always check with your doctor on whether this type of exercise is right for you.
What supplies are needed?
Just bring yourself! Here are some tips for setting up for class:
Have some water available.
We will be standing for the entire class, so bring a chair if you feel you will need support.
Choose a quiet room with good lighting. Give yourself enough space to practice.
Loose fitting, comfortable clothing is recommended, along with flat shoes that provide some support.
For online classes, a phone will work, but a larger screen will obviously give you a better experience.
If I can't make the live online session, will I have access to the recording?
Yes. A link will be sent by email or posted in the community feed, which will remain active for 7 days.
How can I get in touch if I need more information?
