From the owner: The Village of Healing and Wellness in Erie, Pennsylvania promotes self healing through the…read more practice of Qi gong and Tai Chi.The Wu Yi Jie He 24 Posture Therapeutic Qigong for Health, healing and Longevity is the foundation of our healing program. This authentic system, Wu Yi Jie He (Family system of Chinese Medicine and Martial arts combined) was developed by Great Grand Master and Dr. Wang Zi Ping and Grand Master and Dr. Wu Cheng Du. It was further developed by Grand Master Helen Wu. We also teach other forms of QiGong for meditation and spiritual growth. Fred Popeski was promoted to fifth generation in the Wu Yi Jie He family. It is his belief that all healing comes from within, where the problems exist. For lasting healing to take place, an individual must take personal responsibility for their own healing. Mind body integration is necessary for significant healing to take place. Our healing model works like a bicycle wheel. Imagine this wheel, it has the hub or centre with spokes for strength and support to complete a full circle, healing. The hub or centre is you. This is where QiGong comes in. Every day you do the healing work. This is the most significant part of your healing because you are taking control of your health. This alone has tremendous healing results. . We are located in Erie, Pennsylvania. We teach both QiGong and Taiji.

Just walking through the door into the serene studio makes me happy, no matter what else the day has held. Most importantly, the teachers really know their stuff, and pay attention to creating an atmosphere where each student's practice is respected, and challenged to deepen and grow. Teachers offer lots of cues and modifications to ease or deepen positions. A warm, friendly, supportive place!

I saw on Facebook that they opened back up and did remodeling, so I was thrilled to get back to the gym! The whole interior has been freshly painted and re-carpeted, giving it a more updated look. Before my sister and I walked in the door, they took our temperature. I recommend wearing a mask when you walk in for curtesy and safety. Once it was all fine, we walked up to the check in desk. You scan your own ownership card on the reader instead of handing it to them like before. I personally feel like they should keep this up! Less spread of germs! You are still able to get a locker in the locker room, you just put the key in a basket once you're done so they can disinfect. The hot tub in the locker room was closed, as was they outdoor pool. They indoor community pools are open though! All of the equipment was separated 6-feet apart, which I appreciated! They turned all the workout rooms into rooms with extra equipment Incase you want privacy. The workout rooms require a mask on at all times. The "open gym" only requires masks on at designated time. So I was there from 12:30-2 and you didn't need to wear a mask during that time. However, 2pm started a mask-required hour. Guess it's just your preference as to which time to come! You are required to wipe down equipment after using it, and employees will say something if you don't. They do have a designated employee going around constantly wiping off equipment also! I was VERY impressed with how they're handling this pandemic, and I look forward to going back & continuing to support this business!

I was told I could join with Silver Sneakers, but when I showed up today, I was told "membership"…read morewould not be there all day and that I'd have to pay a $10 guest fee. If "membership" is not there at all during a weekday, then when is it? And I should have been told that before I made the hour and 10 minute round trip there. This place is only interested in ripping off people as other comments have pointed out. They are "abusive" and "disgusting" --and willing to shame themselves for just $10. As other comments confirm: do not give them your credit card as they will continue to use it fraudulently.
