Xinling Zhu Xinling is a Tai Chi and mindful movement instructor with over 18 years of teaching experience in China, Thailand, and the United States.

Her practice is rooted in the traditional Chen-style Tai Chi system. Over the years, she has come to understand Tai Chi not only as a physical discipline, but as a way to restore balance, cultivate inner calm, and reconnect with the body.

Influenced by her background in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Xinling integrates an understanding of energy flow, circulation, and overall well-being into her teaching.

Her classes focus on silk-reeling (Chan Si Gong) as a foundation, combining breath awareness, body alignment, and fluid movement. Through this practice, students are guided to build a stable foundation, release tension, and deepen their connection with the body and mind.

Slow down. Breathe. Move. Reconnect.

Join her for this two hour workshop that is suitable for beginners!

Instructor Julia Ochs

Julia has been dancing since she was 6 years old, performing many styles of dance. Shortly after taking her first tango lesson in 2011, she realized tango was quickly becoming a new passion and a new lifestyle. She has studied with numerous maestros from around the world and has developed into a beautiful Tango dancer who enjoys performing, dancing socially, and teaching. Julia will teach introduction to Argentine Tango at The Yoga Garden every Thursday.

In this nourishing, two hour workshop, we gently awaken the voice and body as gateways into meditation.

We’ll begin by warming up — softening the body, opening the breath, and exploring simple vocal practices to prepare for singing. No experience is needed. This is not about performance, but presence.

Together, we will learn three peace mantras allowing their rhythms and meanings to settle into us. We’ll close with a “sea of Oms,” layering our voices into a shared field of sound — immersive, resonant, and deeply calming.

Singing is one of the most accessible ways to enter meditation. Through vibration and breath, the nervous system softens, the mind quiets, and the heart opens.
