This body-centered, mindfulness-based class promotes self-exploration, self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-empowerment, engendered by an attitude toward ourselves of tend and befriend.
You will acquire the skill of living from your center (center of mass and balance) rather than from your thoughts, leading to a sense of ease and freedom, physically and emotionally.
With practice you will develop a very physically-centered, calm state of mind and body. You will then not only have greater freedom of movement, your mind will feel less cluttered, resulting in greater emotional spontaneity.
A mind-body integration practice resolves residual tension throughout the body that would otherwise block energy flow and prevent optimal efficiency of movement. This practice is about non-cognitive, mind-directed relaxation, which results in faster reflexes and greater spontaneity in all physical activity, as well as in mental processing.
You will begin to feel a sense of lightness and spaciousness as your joints begin to decompress and function optimally. Stress reduction occurs as you learn to release bodily tension.
Wing Chun is a martial art, but this is not a typical martial arts class. In this class, the internal wing chun of Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin is utilized as an extraordinary vehicle through which to practice mindfulness-based mind-body integration in order to optimize health and wellbeing. Over time, you will acquire self-defense skills, but they are a fringe-benefit rather than the primary focus of the class.
