9:00 am: Qigong–
2026-03-27Qigong (/ˈtʃiːˈɡɒŋ/) is a system of coordinated body-posture and movement, breathing, and meditation said to be useful for the purposes of health, spirituality, and martial arts training. With roots in Chinese medicine, philosophy, and martial arts, qigong is traditionally viewed by the Chinese and throughout Asia as a practice to cultivate and balance the mystical life-force qi.
Qigong practice typically involves moving meditation, coordinating slow-flowing movement, deep rhythmic breathing, and a calm meditative state of mind. People practice qigong throughout China and worldwide for recreation, exercise, relaxation, preventive medicine, self-healing, alternative medicine, meditation, self-cultivation, and training for martial arts.

Gathering Place10:00 am: Kid's Dance–
2026-03-27Join LIH&W and instructor Cassa Cole for a joyful, one-hour parent-child movement class for ages 0 to Pre-K.
We begin with a cozy floor circle featuring welcome songs and names, then transition into gentle movement, guided dances, and interactive play with props like scarves and rhythm sticks. The class includes both high-energy dancing and quiet sensory moments, with a built-in “soft floor reset” and a designated retreat space for toddlers needing downtime. We close with parachute play and a goodbye song to wrap the session in connection and calm.
This class supports early childhood development through joyful movement, rhythm, and social engagement. Children benefit from gross motor skill development, vestibular stimulation, and emotional regulation through predictable transitions. Parents and caregivers are invited to co-regulate, bond, and move alongside their children, promoting connection and playful embodiment. The rhythmic structure and movement arc of the class also help reduce stress, increase body awareness, and build community among families.

This slower-paced practice holds poses for longer durations than flow styles like Vinyasa, making it suitable for beginners, and focuses on alignment, strength, and flexibility.
