The second exercise introduces you to a technique to help healing and emotional release as well as increasing your energy level and creative potential. Enjoy this 20 min. class by Jim Morningstar.

Getting more Joy and Nurturance from Eating

Tai Chi Exercises for Health and Wellbeing
Jim Morningstar demonstrates a series of Taiji Warm up exercises, standing postures and song gongs (energy moving exercises) that he has learned as a student of this comprehensive form of Self care.

It affords the opportunity to go as deep and as far in mastery as the student is willing to pursue. For Jim Morningstar’s Worldwide Learning Community: www.transformationsusa.com
