"I attended the Meditation 101 workshop and I so enjoyed the fellowship which was evident during that evening. It was a diverse and open group of people. We seemed to really connect. I guess you could say it was everything that I had hoped it would be. I feel as though I took so much away from that class and guided mediation. I have used this as a vehicle whenever I have the occasional sleep interrupted night or just have those times when you need to calm. " KP from Daytona Beach Shores

Tai Chi: A comprehensive course with Morris Sullivan

Coming in March 2012

Tai chi is a mind-body health practice and soft/internal martial art that originated in the 12th century and now mainly practiced because of its health benefits—numerous studies have shown tai chi can help slow the effects of aging and improve overall physical functioning.

Along with “push hands,” a two-person exercise to develop the ability to use a minimum of energy to overcome an opponent’s force, tai chi students practice “forms,” long series of slow, flowing movements. Because the movements are synchronized with the breath, forms practice is a highly meditative, mindfulness-based activity that can improve concentration and reduce stress.

This 3 month comprehensive course is intended to give you a strong foundation of Tai Chi. Included in the course are 6 group sessions, a DVD for home practice, as well as handouts of the forms. The 6 group session dates TBA.Morris Sullivan

This course is only $79 for Daytona Yoga Members and $89 for all others. Please register early as space will be limited.

Sensei Morris Sekiyo Sullivan is the dharma teacher for Volusia Buddhist Fellowship who trained with the Bright Dawn Institute for American Buddhism, a non-sectarian tradition based on Japanese Mahayana Buddhism and studied Vipassana meditation in the Thai tradition.
