All we want for Christmas...... Is for our students and clients to write us a review!

If you're seeing this, and have attended any of our classes, workshops, or other offerings - we'd LOVE for you to write us a review! Head on over to our page, scroll down to "review", and let us know how we're doing! You're always welcome to email or call us with thoughts, questions, and suggestions as well!

Help us grow our reach and serve our community better! When other people read your reviews, they'll feel more comfortable attending our classes, and learning how to move, flow, and feel better!

This week, we have 3 class offerings! They are all donation based, and we are happy to value the energy you bring to our classes as a full donation.

Ladies, join us (this evening!) Monday, 12/15 at Healthy Families of the Northern Shenandoah Valley:

☯️ Women's Qigong at 5:30pm

Everyone, join us on Saturday, 12/20 at First Presbyterian Church for:

☯️ Beginners Yang-style Tai Chi at 9:30am

☯️ Practical Tai Chi at 11am

If you're wondering which of our Saturday morning classes is best for you - we suggest attending both to find out! Yang-style tai chi typically has more flow to it, while Practical Tai Chi sees us doing different movements based on Adrian's intuition of what students NEED to feel better after class.

Join us this week (and future weeks!) to see how meditating and moving brings added balance and stability to your life!

We'd like to share about an upcoming series of classes that we're really excited about!

Beginning in January, Adrian will begin hosting Tai Chi Wisdom Circles at Bowman Library. ☯️

Attend the entire series of classes to deepen your understanding of Classic Chinese Medicine and how it relates to you - internally and externally; or just attend the Circles that appeal most to you. Anyone wondering "what elemental constitution am I?!" would be well served to attend these Circles!

This offering is in partnership with The Friends of the Handley Regional Library System ~ we love our partnership which allows us to get more movement and meditative modalities into the hands of our local community. We hope you'll join us for this series of classes!

Our next Better Human Book Club, in partnership with Handley Regional Library System, is on Wednesday, Jan 7 at 6:30pm, and we hope you'll join us there!

The book we'll be discussing is: How to Relax by Thich Nhat Hanh. This small book (seriously - it almost fits in the palm of your hand!) is full of useful ideas and tips on how to relax.

Yes, Adrienne (Davis, from Handley) and Adrian (VanKeuren, from MoveMentation) specifically choose a book they hope will bring you moments of peace and joy to read during the hectic holiday season. Plan to join our book club to discuss this book in January!

Join us on Wednesday, 12/10 at Godfrey Miller Center at 11am for a gentle Practical Tai Chi class!

Our Practical Tai Chi classes are designed to get you connected into your body, helping you to know yourself. We then work on stretching and strengthening the entire body, while working on balance and posture.

Come experience what meditating and moving with us can do for you! ☯️❤️🧘

12/08/2025

Just a quick note that we will NOT be having Women's Qigong this evening! Again, NO women's qigong, 12/8!

We appreciate your understanding while Adrian practices the self-care she's always talking about...

Adrian talks about this concept a lot in class - your mind is so strong that it literally cannot tell the difference between physical reality, and the reality you create in your imagination. Be mindFUL of the thoughts and energies you're cultivating.

Believing "I'll always feel bad", "my body will never move that way again", or "it's chronic and I'll never heal" will, unfortunately, ensure that is the exact reality you'll create for yourself. (Adrian has LOADS of experience in this, so feel free to ask her about that!)

The research: "A groundbreaking study from Stanford University has revealed that the human brain has the ability to rewire the body in real time simply through belief. This research shows that our thoughts are not just passive reflections of reality but active builders of our physical state.

Scientists found that when individuals believe in certain outcomes, the brain activates neural circuits that produce corresponding physical effects. For example, patients who were told a harmless substance was a painkiller often reported real pain relief because their brains triggered the body’s natural healing chemistry. This is known as the placebo effect, but the Stanford team has shown it goes even deeper.

Belief-driven neural changes influence hormone release, immune response, muscle activation, and even genetic expression. That means repeating negative thoughts can harm the body, while positive affirmations and beliefs can literally strengthen health and resilience.

This discovery reinforces the idea that mental training — from meditation to visualization — can be as impactful as physical training. The mind doesn’t just witness life happening; it is constantly constructing it through the power of repeated thoughts."

We have two classes tomorrow, and we hope you'll join us for one or both of them!

☯️ Beginners Yang-style tai chi at 9:30am ~ this class is ideal for those wanting grounding and movements that flow

☯️ Practical Tai Chi at 11am ~ this class is ideal for those wanting to work on balance and strength

📍 Both classes are held at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Wi******er VA.
📍 Please note that the church doors are kept locked, and late arrivals for the 9:30 class will not make it into the church (because Adrian will be busy teaching...).
📍 Please be patient in coming in for the 11 o'clock class, as that timing coincides with the Jubilee Kitchen that helps feed our houseless community on weekends.

We hope to see you on Saturday! Come meditate & move with us - your body will thank you!
