Atlanta Studio General information 

Welcome to our Rising Phoenix studio!

Our studio has been under renovation, and we, like the Rising Phoenix, are rising from the debris into a present joy and future happiness!

We return to our studio on June 3rd, 2026, with our Advanced Traditional T'ai Chi and Qi Gong classwork!

New classes begin flowing in June and July! As we teach, we take one step at a time, so gradually we will offer beginner's Traditional T'ai Chi, a “Power uP!” Qi Gong class, and a very special movement class with a focus on joy! Seated classes will also become available, as will workshops, series sets, and specialty classes!

Dance, Yoga, Singing, and more will be part of our offerings! We will celebrate and embrace joy!

 Please feel free to email us for our new schedule. Thank you for your patience!

This information is for classes held at our studio in the Inman Park neighborhood of Atlanta. We are located in Suite 002 at 1083 Austin Avenue, Atlanta, Georgia, 30307.  Registration is required before visiting our studio. Please allow us 48 hours to be in touch with you, we'll send info and answer any questions by email, so two days before a class you'd like to attend provides us time needed, thank you! Please click to email us: info@shouldersdown.com .

We offer classes in traditional qi gong and t’ai chi taught in a relaxed and casual manner by certified instructors.  All of the moves are taught in detail and at a pace all can follow.  Classes are kept to the enrollment that will allow comfortable space for each student as well as to allow for individual attention.  Sets of moves are taught so that the student will have a series of moves to perform at home for practice and to “keep” and use forever to improve health. 

Also offered will be classes in meditation, yoga, dance, and moving for joy!

We will be at the studio approximately 10-15 minutes before class starts.  Feel free to come and settle in, ask questions, have some tea.  Please try to arrive on time for classes, as we will begin at the designated times, but do not fret about being late on occasion; still come to class, and relax.
