Attention, breathing, and movement: practical tools for everyday life.
Wellness education. A class shows you the tools and how they work; your life is where you use them.
What we teach
The tools, and how to use them
Each class shows you a tool, how it works, and how to make it a practice of your own: something you can use at any time, in an ordinary day, without a schedule or equipment.
Attention
Where your attention is, and how to steer it. Meditation, mindfulness, and stillness, taught in plain terms, with simple practices.
Breathing
Your breath connects you with life in every moment, without being asked. Breathing practices are how you learn to notice it and work with it.
Movement
Movement drawn from qigong, tai chi (taiji), and yoga, including chair-based practices: alignment, intention, and control, learned as foundations rather than forms. Seated or standing, at your own pace.

Mindful Movement
Mindful Movement is an hour-long class that teaches the basics of all three tools: attention, breathing, and movement.
Everyone has a chair. The class moves between seated and standing practice. Standing is always optional, and can always be chair supported. Staying seated for the whole class is fully taking part.
No experience, flexibility, or special clothing is needed. Come as you are.
Why Noon?
At noon the sun is straight overhead. The brightest moment of the day, the most light, the fewest shadows. Nothing has to lean toward the light, because the light is already there. Noon is also our family name. We did not go looking for a name; this one was already here, and it already meant what we teach. There was nothing to do but notice it. That is the whole practice: less straining toward something, more settling into alignment with what is already here.
That is what the tools are for. Attention pointed where you mean it, breathing you have learned to notice and work with, and movement that starts from alignment: three ways of finding your own noon in an ordinary day, and of standing in it for a moment.
Stop striving. Start aligning.
