Love Yoga Center in Naples is now conducting weekly in-studio and virtual tai chi and qigong classes, offering students an accessible and holistic approach to mind-body wellness rooted in ancient Chinese healing traditions.

Qigong is offered every Monday from 11 a.m. to noon and is led by instructor Winter Ryve. This moving meditation practice focuses on gentle, flowing movements aligned with the five elements of nature—metal, water, wood, fire, and earth. Designed for all experience levels, it emphasizes breath, relaxation, alignment, and energetic flow. Participants can expect benefits including reduced stress, improved balance and flexibility, immune system support, and increased vitality.

Ryve brings a unique background as a certified qigong instructor, writer, and circus artist, with training that includes an immersion in Thailand. Her teaching integrates physical, emotional, and spiritual healing to help students feel renewed and deeply connected.

Tai Chi Simple is offered every Friday from 11 a.m. to noon and is taught by Susan Faulkenstein, a seasoned yoga teacher and qigong facilitator. This class centers on ShiBashi, a traditional 18-movement tai chi and qigong practice known for cultivating mindfulness, mobility, and calm. Movements are gentle, easy to follow, and can be adapted for seated practice, making the class welcoming for all ages and abilities.
