Sip & Stretch in Gastown – A Guided Lunch Hour Movement Workshop

Elder Swallow will be leading “Sip and Stretch” a FREE 1-hour, guided movement workshop accessible for all ages and abilities. We’ll stretch, move, and groove together through BaDuanJin — a centuries-old system for maintaining mobility, and body awareness that also incorporates QiGong breathing exercises.

It’s beginner-friendly and focuses on enhancing flexibility through a series of achievable and holistic positions, similar to (but distinct from) Tai Chi.

Then grab a free drink sample from our booth in partnership with Sonder Cafe!

It’s FOMO-proof! Drop-in any 1 day or join us for all 4 events!

Optional: RSVP on Eventbrite to help us track numbers and ensure room for all participants.
