Lawn Bowling is a game that can be played by all age groups.  The sport is low-impact and is recommended as a good form of exercise because most of the muscle groups of the body are used in the exercise. It is also an ideal sport for a lifetime of enjoyment. The objective of the game is to deliver your bowls closer to the jack (the small white ball) than your opponent in order to win the game. This is similar in some respects to curling or shuffleboard or bocce.  The game can be played with one to four players per team. Come and try it out with a friend!  What a great way to try the sport and meet some friendly people.  We hope to share our love of lawn bowling with you.

Yuanji dance is an innovative exercise dance created by the fusion of Yuanji, martial arts, and dance. it was the result of the joint exploration and research by dancers, martial artists, medical scientists, and qigong experts. Yuanji dance integrates the essence of the static, dynamic, and massage benefits. it combines exercise with entertainment, dancing, and exercise. Yuanji dance does not involve the difficult stage movements of traditional dances and avoids the seriousness of exercises. the movement is simple, the form is lively, and our mind is relaxed. regardless of the movement of the meridians and qi, it relies on the acoustic effect of "Yuanji music" and dancing to harmonize the body and mind, coordinating viscera, and enhancing the flow of meridians. 

元極舞

元極舞是舞蹈家、武術家、醫學家、氣功家們共同探索、研究後將元極功法及武術舞蹈融合在一起而成的創新練功舞蹈。元極舞融靜功、動功、按摩功的精華於一體,寓煉功於娛樂中,跳舞即是煉功。元極舞既沒有傳統舞蹈中那種高難度的舞台動作,又避免了煉功中的嚴肅性。動作簡單,形式活潑,不用意念,不管經脈氣路運行,只藉助“元極音樂”中元音貫通和舞蹈姿勢的導引而達到調和身心、協調臟腑、疏通經絡.
