· Tuina- Therapeutic bodywork, a vigorous style of bodywork that looks a little like sports massage.

· Tai Chi- “Yang-style” of tai chi, a gentle, slow moving Asian exercise system that teaches breathing and relaxation techniques.
· Qi Gong- A practice of aligning breath, movement, and awareness for exercise, healing, and meditation. Qi Gong will be interactive with guests. Please join in!
Practitioners from Bastyr University will be on site to demonstrate natural healing as it relates to sports injuries.
At 8 PM the Chinese Lion Dance begins! The Lion Dance is one of the most widely spread folk dances in China. Lion is king of the animals. In Chinese tradition, the Lion is regarded as a mascot which can bring good luck. The Lion Dance has been performed for over 2000 years.
