Mindfulness for Wellness

An eight-module self-paced on demand mindfulness program to set you on the path of wellbeing.

With the busy-ness of life, how do you slow down and connect to yourself? How do you cultivate a spiritual practice? How do you find a pause from your non-stop thinking? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed with demands and responsibilities. You might feel constantly stressed out or struggle to get a good night sleep. Maybe you are looking for a way to take care of your anger, anxiety, or depression. Or you’ve been exploring mindfulness but it’s confusing and you aren’t seeing any changes in your life or well-being.

Mindfulness isn’t a cookie cutter practice. We’ll set the foundation and assist you to figure out and navigate through practices that align with your current lifestyle. The groundwork of the course offers an opportunity to grow and transform, and dare we say, reclaim your peace and happiness. We created Mindfulness for Wellness because it has helped us to cultivate peaceful living for over 20 years and we want to show you the possibility of living well and give you the tools and practices to guide you there.

6-Week Tai Chi Course

Location: Kopifit, 812A John Marks Ave, Kingston East
Dates: Starts Friday, May 10th to June 14th (6 Fridays)
Time: 10:45am to 12:15pm (90 minutes) 
Investment:  $282.50 ($250+HST) (payment via interac etransfer)

Tai Chi is a practice that involves a series of gentle flowing movements coordinated with controlled breathing and a meditative state of mind.  Tai Chi originated from China.

In this course, you’ll be guided through a traditional and typical Tai Chi practice which includes:

~ A proper warm up
~ Tai Chi specific exercises (too many to list here) to cultivate concentration, breath and of course, components of fitness including strength, mobility and balance
~ Nei Gong (internal energy) practices
~ Personal attention to focus on your body and needs such as exercises and homework
~ Learning/relearning part 1 of the Yang Tai Chi sequence
~ Key Taoist theories applicable to the Tai Chi practice

Please note that you are encouraged to attend all 6 classes to keep up with the class progress. A couple of missed classes are ok. Drop-ins are not available. I will take on only a limited number of students. Please sign up soon if you would like to deepen your practice.

You are also suggested to purchase proper Tai Chi footwear and silk tops but not mandatory. The shoes will help with certain movements that involve pivoting and turning. One of our friends found similar Tai Chi footwear at Walmart for $12. Silk tops can be found in most Chinatowns.

Confortable loose-fitting clothing and in-doors sneakers will also be fine. Please no outdoors shoes at the centre.
