My Approach
Lessons
A weekly 1-on-1's and a constantly evolving schedule of classes, workshops and small group lessons in person (Portland, OR USA),
and on Zoom.
Each student is unique.
Based on your interests, aspirations and daily practicalities, we
co-create a rewarding daily practice for you
designed to enrich, empower and amuse.
Results
In as few as 10-20 minutes a day, students are amazed by their increase in clarity (zen), their enhanced sense of connection (taichi),
and their playful enjoyment of life as-it-is (tantra).
Practices
Generally, silent sitting,
slow, conscious body movements,
attentive listening to a variety of music and
making some sounds.
Membership
Participation is by monthly membership.
