01 What Curt teaches
Four ways to practice
Pick the pace that suits you, from slow and meditative to sweaty and strong. Every class meets you where you are.
-
Qigong
Gentle, repeated movement sets paired with the breath. Calming, easy on the joints and a natural starting point at any age.
-
Tai Chi
The traditional Yang-style form, learned step by step. Slow, flowing practice that builds balance, steady legs and focus.
-
Yoga
From Gentle Yoga, taught mostly from reclined, seated and kneeling positions, to flowing Vinyasa. Taught by a 500-hour certified teacher.
-
Strength and conditioning
Core and More, Build and Burn, Full Body Fit, Cardio Sculpt and Pilates Fusion. Practical strength from a certified trainer with a dancer's eye for form.
02 About Curt
From the stage to the studio
Curt has spent his life in motion. He was a competitive athlete and dancer as a teenager, then worked as a professional dancer, teacher and choreographer.
Along the way he took an interest in Qigong, Tai Chi, yoga and fitness, and earned certifications in each. He has practiced Qigong and Tai Chi for more than ten years and also holds a certification in Qi Medicine.
Today he teaches across the Hudson Valley: in the studios at Mirbeau Inn & Spa, on the floor at IXL Health & Fitness and in free community classes at the Pine Plains Free Library. His classes draw on all of it, from a dancer's sense of alignment to a trainer's focus on strength and the patience of a long Tai Chi practice.
A lifelong learner, he continues to enjoy, study and practice.
