Hi all East Bay Yoga Tribe members.
I hope this type of posting is suitable to post in this area? If not, let me know and Ill delete it and post in listings section. Just seems the listings section may be a bit ignored in some tribes.?

I am interested in bartering my services as a Certified Massage Therapist and Yiquan & Tai Chi Qigong practitioner, with an interested yoga instructor for on-going yoga classes & yoga teacher training & certification in the SF East Bay.
Preferably somewhere near Berkeley, Oakland, Albany areas as I live in this area.

I prefer a slower paced practice where postures are held for a while to sink more deeply into, integrating a meditative approach. I'm not interested in the "hot yoga", talkative or speedy yoga class styles so much.
And I'm not looking for a "master" or guru, other than my own inner being - which i already am and am exploring.
I used to practice yoga ( mostly Hatha & Vinyasa ) regularly for between @ 1993 - 98.

My main practice is Yiquan, Wuji & Tai Chi Qigong, which i have been practicing since 1989. And would like to exchange on-site bodywork sessions for on-going classes with a compatible style and practitioner / instructor in the East Bay. I live near Berkeley, so a studio / school close to Berkeley would be best.

If you are interested in this sort of exchange, contact me describing your specific experience, yoga training & "style", where you teach,times of classes, any questions, etc..

Below is a copy of a posting for my bodywork practice -
