Yoga - Basic Skills
Grand Master Shuey will introduce you to some of the beginning Poses in yoga like “down facing dog” and “Warrior I, II, and III’. In Yoga, each pose is called a position. Yoga positions help you develop better balance, strength, and flexibility. They also promote the flow of energy through the body. You will also learn “Deep breathing” techniques to calm the body. One of these I find especially effective is the “Diaphragmatic” (Belly) breathing which slows the heart rate and can lower blood pressure.
Yoga - Intermediate skills
Grand Master Shuey will introduce students to more advanced Poses in yoga like “bound ankle” and “Warrior III”. Here, students will begin to combine poses by uniting them into sequences, moving through each pose in a rhythm. Breathing exercise are expanded, adding motion such as raising your arms in sync with your breathing and adding focus on internal parts of the body for exercise.
Cane-Chi (Cane Excercise)
Cane Chi is a complete exercise, fitness and rehabilitation system designed to be performed using the cane with or without a resistance band. It includes balancing techniques as well as isometric and isotonic exercises.
Cane-Fu (Cane Self Defense)
In this basic level of Cane-Fu students will learn how to strike an attacker in the knee, shin, or elbow. Often, learning to perform effective self-defense maneuvers happens fairly quickly. Once you learn how to execute the moves, you don’t have to be powerful or even fast to be effective in self-defense.
