Brand new to our studio is C.P.R. training. We can customize C.P.R. training for Adults, Children and Infants, as well as groups that need A.E.D. certification.

Yoga

We are always expanding our Yoga offerings to better serve you. We currently offer a variety of Yoga classes including our new Christian Yoga offering. Please see our registration form to register for any of these classes.

Tai Chi

While the ancient roots of Tai Chi Chuan (Grand Ultimate Fist) are in the martial arts, tai chi movements are never aggressive; instead, they are based on shifting body weight through a series of light, controlled movements that flow rhythmically together into one long, graceful gesture. In this introductory course, Dr. Tim Thompson will teach you how to combine flowing gestures with the healing tai chi technique of core breathing to express yourself through "meditation in motion.” Please Please see our registration form to register for this class, and watch for upcoming announcements on Dr. Tim's Heart Blossom Meditation workshops.

Community Involvement

The following are community projects we are currently active in supporting:

• Grass fed On The Hill
• Where There's A Need
• Community Support Services
• Camp Springs Baptist Church

Pilates Circuit

We continue to expand our Pilates offerings and currently offer both Wunda Chair classes and Pilates Circuit training. This format includes tower, Wunda Chair, Spine Corrector, stability ball, and other small props. This is a fantastic way to do a variety of Pilates training in one session.
