10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Join martial arts instructor, Joelle Nañawa, at Topanga Nursery to explore the flow of the martial arts fan — a movement practice that blends elegance, precision, and quiet strength. Together, we’ll slow down, breathe deeply, and move with intention as we learn the foundations of this beautiful and historically-rich weapon.
You’ll be guided through:
An invigorating Qigong warm up and balance activation
Foundational T’ai chi stances and body mechanic cues
T’ai chi fan basics and movement sequences
The beginning section of a martial arts fan form (choreography)
Practices to regulate the nervous system, ground your energy, and cultivate balance and flow
a brief history on T’ai chi, including how the fan has been used historically as a weapon
This class is open to all levels, but designed for beginners. Whether you come solo, with a partner, or with friends and family, you’ll leave feeling more centered, empowered, and connected to your body.
Make a morning of it — after class you can grab a coffee from the onsite JustVibes café, pick up a plant or flowers for mothers day, bring home some local honey, and say hi to the nursery bees!
Spots are limited to 12 participants due to supplies. Pre-registration is required to hold your place.
