We recommended that you wear loose fitting, light weight layers and socks and for your comfort. The floor in the studio is concrete. Shoes are left at the door.
If it is suitable weather we may practice outside. Please wear outdoor shoes, bring a hat and jacket.
Bring your reusable water bottle.
Please refrain from wearing perfumes, aftershave, essential oils, or any strong-smelling lotion or sunscreen to classes as often students are sensitive to strong smells.

What kind of support do you offer to your qigong students?
All classes and workshops offer time for questions. These Q & A sessions are a valuable opportunity for in-depth information about qigong movements, theory and history of qigong.
If you prefer to ask your questions privately, Martha offers a 20 minute complimentary Zoom call for new and long-time students. These calls are to help support you on your qigong journey. They are also an opportunity to discuss any challenges that you are encountering during a class or personal practice. If you’re a new student, this is a great opportunity to find out if starting a qigong practice is right for you.
