I live in New Mexico and have travelled to Gainesville, Fl twice for Qigong, Tai Chi, and Kung Fu…read moreworkshops at the Flowing Zen studio. My first trip was to learn Qigong (Chi Kung) to help me overcome some health problems. A year later I returned to retake the Qigong workshop and for an hour of private Kung Fu instruction. Last year I returned for workshops by Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit in Tai Chi Chuan and other internal arts. I like Sifu Anthony's style of teaching. It's cost effective for me, even though I have to travel a long way, because I learn enough in one visit to practice on my own for the rest of the year. I envy Gainesville locals for having such an awesome resource. I have seriously considered relocating to Gainesville for the sole purpose of being able to attend weekly.

I've had taditional chinese, japanese, American fusion acupuncture and community acupuncture, but this was my first experience with tibetan acupuncture. David is kind and calm and extremely knowledgeable. The appointments are not very long, but this treatment had one of the most impressive effects that I've ever had. He knows enough to be precise for what you need individually instead of following formulas for treatment. We had a very helpful discussion of diet as well. I'm hanging around gainesville for a few more months to continue treatment with him. Absolutely recommend it!

And we noticed that there was a sink hole that promised a beautiful view. It was a long way down in a long way up, but the scenery. The view was very beautiful, clean fresh air, and it seemed to be a very popular place. If you haven't been here I would highly recommend you give it a look. It's very well worth a walk and the exercise and fresh air is good for you. The only thing that kind of bothered me was the honor system for people to go down and visit the sinkhole. It's only two dollars per person or four dollars a car load. People were not donating or picking up after their dogs. The park is beautiful but I bet it would be stunning during spring.

Whether you're brand new or have years of experience, Lori meets you where you are--with encouragement, fierce support, and wisdom earned through decades of dedication. I attend the yoga, Chi and archery classes regularly, and I can't recommend them enough! Each one is thoughtfully guided and leaves me feeling stronger and more centered. I even tried an edged weapons class--which I'll admit made me a little nervous at first--but it ended up being so much fun and surprisingly empowering! This isn't just about learning techniques. It's about discovering parts of yourself you didn't know were waiting to grow. The support, challenge, and sense of community here is unmatched! If you're even remotely curious, do yourself a favor and step inside. You'll be welcomed with open arms and leave feeling like you've finally found a place where you belong.

It is like this on the stationary bikes too, so here's room to improve.
