In this class, you will be gently guided through mindful movement sequences inspired by the Feldenkrais Method® Awareness Through Movement®. These lessons are designed to increase awareness of your body and mind, make everyday movement easier, and enhance your overall quality of life.
Sessions are relaxed and non-strenuous, and may take place in a variety of positions—lying down, sitting, or standing. The focus is on retraining the nervous system and discovering new movement patterns that support greater ease and efficiency.
Through this process, you may experience deep relaxation, reduced anxiety, improved neurological functioning, and—most importantly—a deeper connection with yourself.

The guided meditation with Andy Acker offers something rare — a clear, embodied entry point into daily practice. Over one hour, we’ll settle into breath and present-moment awareness, building a foundation that doesn’t require you to already “be good” at meditation. Whether you’re new to sitting or returning after a long absence, there’s a beginning here that belongs to you.

Chan (Jp. Zen) Meditation is the practice of quiet, open awareness: releasing the noise of the day, and returning to the clarity of the present moment. Together, they form a complete practice that restores both body and mind. Chan Movement draws from the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, tracing the body's energy pathways—called meridians—through gentle, intentional movement.

What to Expect: Each week's program is freshly crafted by Chan master Rebecca Nie to meet you where you are. You'll move through restorative postures designed to open the body's energy channels, then settle into guided Zen meditation to quiet the mind. The session is gentle, grounding, and unhurried—a true midday pause designed to leave you refreshed and clear-headed for the afternoon ahead.

Who Is It For? This practice is for anyone navigating the pace of urban life. Whether you're new to yoga and meditation or returning to a practice you love, no prior experience or flexibility is required. It's especially well-suited for those who want to build a sustainable habit of self-care—and who are ready to deepen their connection with their own inner voice.
