What Is Tortoise About?

2/5/2017

It's about training for mobility, strength, balance, coordination, and pain-free ease of movement.

The main sources for the Tortoise Slow Fitness class are Tai Ji, Yi Quan, Qi Gong, Rosen, and, since my recent trip to the Bay Area,  Jin Shin Jyutsu.

I attended a JSJ seminar in Cotati taught by Wayne Hackett, an old-school master of the gentle art of Jin Shin Jyutsu, which is usually practiced in stillness. Between the first and second days of the class, I realized that I wanted to bring JSJ into movement, as a part of the Tortoise class.

I began studying JSJ in 1981.  It is a lifelong study for me and something I look forward to sharing with others.
