I’m delighted to invite you to a special event at Heart of the Valley Yoga. November 9 marks my tenth anniversary of Qi Gong practice, and I’ve been feeling both celebratory and highly reflective. When I stepped into my first class in 2015, I would never have imagined myself teaching. Over the ensuing years this practice served at first as my life-line, then became a profound source of self-healing. It has grown into a home for my devotion and passion, and currently occupies a central place as both livelihood and greatest love.

Please join me to celebrate with a FREE talk and poetry reading!

Note we’ll begin at 7:00 pm rather than our usual 6:30 pm. You’re welcome to stick around until 8:30 pm for questions, discussion, and mingling.

Getting a true stretch is neither passive nor static. In order to stretch tissue we have to feel it, engage it, and inhabit it. When we have engagement in our muscle tissue we have circulation. Our muscles and fascia become pliable, juicy, and resilient. Juicy tissue allows our bones to find their natural alignment. Posture improves and we feel more spacious. We have possibility and freedom of movement. We have fun.

We’re going to turn the tables! If you’ve attended classes in the last year (or more), you’ve probably heard me talk a lot. In this session, I want to hear from you! Which of my classes or techniques have you found most valuable? What sparks your curiosity for more? Is there something you want from me that I’ve never offered? Things that weren’t useful or interesting? This is your opportunity to influence my offerings for 2026, and I hope to hear your candid feedback!

This the time of year when it’s natural to shed, to return to our core. In going deeper inside, we can also travel back in time. Our deepest torso muscles began developing their strength in infancy, and it is these muscles that must continue to hold us upright as adults.

In our current world, with our focus constantly externalized, many of us have abandoned our core. Living without a sense of our own center results in pervasive discomfort and dissatisfaction in our bodies or lives, along with reduced internal organ function and a host of associated health problems. In this continuation of Movement Fundamentals, we’ll begin reclaiming the strength of our axis through the exploration of movement without limbs.

Join us for a monthly full moon walk near Corvallis, Oregon. We will practice quiet hiking, sensory awareness, and group recitation of a nearly 800-year-old prose poem that asks us to understand mountains and waters from a more-than-human perspective. The walk consists of a 1.5 mile loop trail with moderate elevation gain, and will be paced for the needs of the group.

Come join us for weekly classes at Heart of the Valley Yoga! Qi Gong is based in Chinese medicine, and understanding this system distills down to one foundational idea: movement creates circulation and circulation enhances health. In Qi Gong Foundations we’ll work with this principle in innovative ways, learning a vocabulary of simple movement patterns that create the basis for many traditional forms. The broader application of Qi Gong is to promote the body’s natural self-healing capacity, and this class is designed to enhance your understanding of movement as medicine.

Life doesn’t get more simple than this: in-breath . . . out-breath . . . breathe in oxygen . . . exhale carbon dioxide. In this seasonal exploration of the body we’ll connect not just with breath, but the organ that makes it all possible: the Lungs. It’s easy to take life for granted, to lose touch with the basics. The Lungs bring us back to what is most essential, precisely because they require us to participate in the full cycle: filling and letting go, death and rebirth, moment after moment. When you know how to release, you also know how to make space for something new.
