About us
We are a worldwide group interested in exploring the body arts of China, including dao yin, qi gong, tai chi, and other martial arts.
Rooted in a Daoist worldview, dao yin is an ancient movement tradition that gave birth to tai chi, gong fu, qi gong, and Chinese opera.
We are dancers, martial artists, bodyworkers, improvisors, and grandmothers interested in exploring what it means to have a body. In fact, that's the only prerequisite for joining this group: having a body!

Daoyin: Animals + Elements
Asheville Community Yoga, 8 Brookdale Rd, Asheville, NC, US🐦🔥 Weekly free class offering at Asheville Community Yoga! 🦍
Ever wonder how the Downward Dog walks? Join us as we dive in to the wild world of animal movement! We will learn to move with fluid integration, open up space in the body, and flex our imaginations.
This class introduces the basic animal forms of Daoyin, the ancient Daoist movement practice that gave birth to tai chi, qi gong, and even Yin Yoga. We’ll hop and crawl through the five phases of water, wood, fire, earth, and metal.
Each week, we focus on a specific movement principle, like “hanging the spine” or “moving from the glutes.” We observe how this principle applies in different postures. And if all goes well, we’ll share a few laughs.
Wednesdays 2-3pm
