In this class, we focus on long, slow movements that lead us to excellent, precise motor control and coordination. Each class will begin with an hour of vigorous warm-up exercises, and progress into forms-work and two-person drills. An emphasis is placed by the instructor on reigning in the breath and coordinating breath with movement. As with all of our arts, our Xing Yi practice follows the breath of the seasons in Nature, so you can expect a wintertime practice to be significantly slower and more meditative than the same class in the middle of the summertime.
