Jade Lady Meditation

"Summary: Every level of interest will be satisfied with the classes. I have had a chance to spend a week taking as many classes as I could to immerse myself. This is a Community of kindness, inclusion, offering tools and strategies that are experientially satisfying and an untapped resource for balance. A little about my Experience: There are four pillars to this well cultivated community of caring, sharing, and daring to be nothing but authentic in every interaction you face. DaoShima Susan, Shima Holly-I had the privilege of spending the most time with her, Birgit, and Iklim. (Thanks to the unlisted friends who let me be a learner with them-I appreciate all of you!) Each of these instructors has a different personality which makes this a well shaped gem of a community. DaoShima Susan is the one daring enough to craft a community and she has big dreams I can't wait to see. Ask her about them! Birgit has the crispest form, calming demeanor, and subtle sense of humor that makes it hard not to crack a sideways grin when watching her teach a Family class. Iklim was an instructor I missed class with but actually received a small tutoring from during a serendipitous meeting in an adventure for another day. She is simply an amazing human and you should meet her too! Iklim in a few short moments gave me techniques that shaped my mental mindset on basic form from “How on Earth?! How do I hold this form?” to “Ooooohhhh! I get it now.” Shima Holly, What can I say but Thank you. I feel privileged to have gotten so much time of instruction and conversation with Shima Holly. She is a deep well of knowledge and has an insatiable hunger for learning and mastering forms. What matters more is she is always looking for the best ways to deliver it to the students in a way they can truly integrate . "Genius is taking the complicated and making it simple." I cannot express how lucky Anchorage is to have such dedicated individuals to help cultivate and keep a community of health and inclusion through this Art and Practice. You have to practice and that's easy to do here. I took Tai Chi and Qi Gong for beginners, Saturday offerings, and even the Family Class on Sunday with my Friend Winter. I was taking 6am classes, evening classes, and weekend classes. The environment and community are inviting from the fellow students, teachers, even the fellow first timers were warm and friendly. Finding this place was dumb luck for me. Due largely to a well organized schedule and website that helped them distinguish themselves as more than a fitness class. This was a place that loves what they do and loves sharing it with those interested in learning. How often as an out of state resident can you take a beginner course, be given the opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture, the classes, and the camaraderie? I was and am still floored by the prices, the service, quality of instruction, and the fact that they even mailed back my very favorite Scarf that I left behind! That’s kindness for no benefit, and an example of the kind of people that make Jade Lady Meditations. Please at the very least go say hello to my friends, buy a book, poster or gift for a friend….or dare to adventure and open your world to the wonderful community at Jade Lady Meditations."

"I rented Jade Lady Meditation for Barbara Brennan's School of Healing Light Emerging Workshop. Susan is wonderful to work with and the space is beautiful and private. Everyone loved it. Parking and good restaurants nearby."

"I've enjoyed going to Jade Lady for over a year now. They have free Tai Chi and meditation Saturday and Sunday which was what brought me in. They have a wonderful community who have become my closest friends in Anchorage and the instructors are good at helping me understand the form. They also teach belly dance, Odissi dance, and Qi Gong."

"Jade Lady offers FREE classes every Saturday and Sunday, 9-10 am. In the summer, we move outside. Look for us in downtown Anchorage at Peratrovich Park, 4th and E Street... just two blocks south of the Jade Lady Studio. NO experience needed. Learn basic Meditation and Tai Chi. So much fun!"
