New!  Aiki Foundations

running April thru June, 2026

This class is principle-based, exploring the mind-body experience of Aiki (harmonization of ki) through solo and paired exercises. Take it as a mindful fitness and embodiment practice in itself, or as a foundation for an ongoing Aikido practice.

Aiki Foundations only $100. 

Aikido is an internal martial art. We work on developing whole-body connection and awareness, centering and recentering, and sustaining a state of expanded, relaxed-alertness. This cannot come through the intellect. So we move alot instead, naturally, with spirals. And particularily through ukemi, the art of falling. And we test our centredness and connectedness through movement in contact with training partners. 

For those who are looking for: 

• Physical fitness - whole-body and mindful. 

• Mobility and agility - learn to fall safely and get back up gracefully.

• Embodied resilience - learn to shift from fight-flight-freeze reaction to a more centered response. Experience the physical effects on ourselves and others of where we place our mind.
