For you early risers, start the day outdoors (weather permitting) as Scott Cole leads you through a beautiful 30-minute medley of energizing ancient qigong exercises. Designed to integrate your body, mind and spirit and get your “chi” flowing, it will enhance your overall IDEA experience. BYOM

Blending a medley of martial arts with dance for the ultimate cardio workout, Scott pulls out all the stops in this Disco Dojo, where ninja meets funk, tae kwon do meets salsa, kickboxing meets jazz and where “bob and weave” are not hairstyles. Mambo, kick and punch your way through an array of fun moves to great music in this action-packed 1-hour workout! BYOM

If you want to expand your reach, or simply diversify, then this session is for you. Let Scott show you how to handle the media. Learn the “ins and outs” of creating television segments that highlight your skills/business, booking engagements and getting published. Plus, learn how to take good photos, create your own brand and land corporate accounts. Opportunities abound. Now is your chance to get the inside scoop!

Bring forth real power and grace by combining the fluidity of qigong and tai chi with the power of yoga. Logical pairings of adapted exercises, asanas and postures from both disciplines will be covered as well as full-on sequencing of yoga poses and tai chi postures in orders that make sense for group exercise populations of all levels. Both restorative (gentle) and active (strong) applications will be explored in this 3-hour yoga tai chi journey. BYOM

Welcome to IDEA’s first “mini-Inner IDEA” preconference 1-day experience, intended to give you a taste of the full Inner IDEA event—a mindful multidimensional exploration of wellness. After an experiential opening address on the art of living in the present moment, you will be able to participate in three body-mind education tracks—Gyrotonic® exercises, yoga and Pilates—offered in three separate time periods (you can stay with one track for all three or jump back and forth). The day will culminate with an inspiring tai chi experience. Note: This preconference session is designed to create an immersion experience of body-mind modalities, in a distinctly different environment than the rest of the IDEA World Fitness Convention. (Participation is limited to 150 people.)
