BEST VALUE! Learn How To Move through the integrated core, activating your fascia, increasing balance and strength. Sally Chang guides you with 30+ years of martial and clinical experience. No previous experience is needed, seasoned practitioners will also find these mechanics refreshing.

Take yourself on a 3-month focused course to integrate the dynamics of movement to benefit overall health and daily activities.

Recommended is to first go through the lessons in order, for example one new class per day.

Even better, one class every day for a week, going in order for seven weeks. Then having built familiarity and tone, drill down and go in-depth in any order according to interest and need. Pause and repeat as you wish in this self-paced course.

Alignment, strength, and energy conservation stabilizes with repetition. Be patient, curious, and focused. You'll find balance improves across all daily activities with consistent training.
