Wellness by the Boat: Realign with TMI

Reconnect with your mind and body during a peaceful morning along the Maumee River. Join Toledo Mindfulness Institute Founder Jay Rinsen Weik at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 11 for our Wellness by the Boat series, co-presented by UToledo Health and Dr. Mary R. Smith, featuring a free 45-minute beginner-friendly Qigong class held in the museum's scenic Cliffs Great Lakes Maritime Park beside the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship.

Qigong, the ancient practice that inspired Tai Chi, combines intentional movement, mindful breathing, and focused awareness to cultivate balance, energy, and overall well-being. Jay Rinsen Weik will guide participants through simple, accessible movements designed to help reduce stress, improve focus, and leave you feeling refreshed. No experience is necessary, making this class perfect for all fitness levels.
