"Nature in her green, tranquil woods heals and soothes all afflictions."

John Muir

With summer often comes the well needed change in routine. Although yoga encourages daily routines, it is good to get out of our comfort zones and try new things. Whether it's a little more time to watch the grass grow, swim, have breakfast on the patio or try a new yoga or fitness class, summer, with its bright long days, inspires creativity and possibilities.

At Beyond, we help enhance your weekly routine while also giving you the opportunity to break the routine by trying a new class, a new teacher...a new approach.

Featured Workshops

Come build the foundation for health and vitality with an introduction to Qigong Flow.

Qigong routines use movement, breath, self-massage, sound, visualization and mental intention to balance and harmonize the flow of qi (life force energy) in the body.

Qigong flow is a moving meditation where one movement flows seamlessly into the next. This allows the mind to sink into a state of dynamic relaxation while the body circulates energy.

In this weekly series explore:

• how to stand in Wuji Posture;
• how to breathe during a Qigong practice;
• how to make a Qi Ball, and
• the six phases of Qi Flow in a beginner friendly Qigong flow.

Fee: Use your membership, class pass, or drop-in pass.

Featured Certification Programs

Reiki is the universal life energy, called chi or prana, that exists in every living thing. As described in eastern healing practices like Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, Reiki energy travels through meridians in our body, which are essentially veins but carry energy instead of blood. If the energy gets sluggish or stuck in our meridians, this can cause stagnation in our body and mind.

As a hands-on healing approach, Reiki gently allows for the distribution and integration of energy through these meridians to increase overall well-being. With a calming effect on the nervous system, research shows that Reiki can help reduce pain, stress and fatigue. As a safe and non-invasive approach to health, Reiki is also used world-wide to assist in the healing protocol for a variety of ailments or we can simply use Reiki to rejuvenate the body and mind.
