A low-impact class dedicated to the internal side of our art. We practice Ki Breathing, meditation, and gentle stretching exercises designed to release tension and improve overall well-being. This classes is an excellent bridge between the busyness of the workday and a restful evening.

Building on the principles learned in the Foundations classes, this class explores how to maintain Bodymind Oneness while in motion and interacting with one or more partners. We apply our basics to more complex situations and techniques while developing rhythm, control, and power.

Who is it for? Students familiar with the basics and feel ready to train in a more dynamic environment.

What to expect: Higher energy and an emphasis on adapting to changing circumstances.

Students are welcome to attend one or both classes.

7:15 – 8:00 PM: Foundations Focus — Mechanics, Posture, and Bodymind Oneness

This class is the bedrock of our practice. We slow things down to focus on the precise details of Ki Aikido—posture, eye-line, and the spacing-all while practicing the Oneness of Bodymind. You will learn the full suite of individual forms (hitori waza) as well as the fundamental techniques of Ki Aikido.

All ages, all levels. It is the starting point for beginners and the "tune-up" classes for advanced students refining their basics.

What to expect: Moderate pace, detailed instruction, and a focus on stability, clarity, and calmness.
