Classes · This Month at the Center
Functional longevity classes — medical qi gong, foot gym, restorative yoga, and the unglamorous foundational work that actually decides how you age.
Beginning August 1, 2026
The Philosophy
Give the body what it was made for, and it remembers how to heal.
Everything we teach rests on one idea: the body has an incredible capacity to adapt at any age, using the elements it was designed to respond to — earth, sun, breath, hot, cold, the pressure of skilled hands, and the medicine in plants.
Where modern tools serve that same end — red light, sound, vibration — we don't treat them as biohacking gadgets. We treat them as the ancient signals made accessible and easy in a modern environment. Light guides biorhythms and activates cellular processes; therapeutic vibration is the old language of drum and chant and dance.
Low-tech and high-tech, one philosophy. Give the body what it was made for, and it remembers how to heal.
This Month at the Center · September
The Center now teaches in monthly rotations — each month, one special focus. And there are two kinds of classes, two doors: in the studio — live, in person, free, never streamed — and in the Studio membership — virtual classes streamed live and recorded, from wherever you are. Every class below says which door it is.
The Center pauses September 28 – October 6. And watch for us in the open air this fall — qi gong and mini-sessions in Heritage Square and Wheeler Park, dates announced the moment the city blesses them.
New for August & September · Special Topics
A run of one-night classes for members of The Longevity Studio — streamed live with question time, then filed in the Studio library with the handout attached. All at 5:30 PM Arizona time.

Morning Classes
Reclaim, Recover, and Maintain the Architecture and Function of your Pain-free Vitality.
For the body that's tired in a way the gym doesn't fix — stiff, depleted, aching, and stressed.
The primary style taught is the Jinjing (Tendon & Channel) School of Qigong, a rare nourishing-life lineage passed directly through Master Wang Qingyu in direct transmission to Dr. Sara Hazel. Jīn 筋 (tendon) holds the form; Jīng 经 (channel) embodies the formless. Jinjing Gong is a living study of form and formless, encouraging you to align personal cultivation with the season and cosmological shifts.
For the human who has noticed their joints, their back, their movement, and their vitality are not what they were — or who has seen the effects of damage and aging on the generations before them.
We focus on the foundations that can resist the impact of time and trauma. We rebuild the architecture from the ground up: the ignored feet, the stiff spine, the aches in new places, the tech neck, and the brain fog. Old-school and relentless about the unglamorous basics that actually decide how you age. The foundation for everything else is how we stand, sit, and move through our lives — how we inhabit our bodies.
For hikers, walkers, and anyone whose feet are now overly domesticated in their shoes.
26-plus bones in each foot, most of them now jammed and immobile. 200,000 nerve endings hypersensitive, painful, or numb. We open and wake the feet — returning strength, mobility, sensation, circulation, balance, and control.
How the foot functions affects your knees, your hips, your back, even your head and neck. The way your body moves and ages begins at the ground level and works its way up. The older we get, the more our foot health determines balance, strength, and fall risk.
For the foggy brain, eyes strained by screens, and the mind stressed.
This class focuses on correcting the forward-headed lean of the modern screen and the sedentary lifestyle. Eye strain therapies and eye release exercises are included. The class addresses current issues and aims to decrease future brain risks.
We release the neck and its deep fascia, decompress the head off the shoulders, and settle the whole nervous system into the rest that the brain needs to support clearing inflammation and doing repair work — using alignment correction, breath, warmth, botanical oils, sound, and vibration.
A class for recovery, health, and correction.
Movements designed for range of motion, joint recovery, pain relief, and strength. Western exercise physiology combined with very gentle yoga and qi gong movements. Woven through with self-applied manual fascia release, therapeutic hot and cold stones for circulation and anti-inflammatory effects, and medicated botanical oils. Vibration plates and tools, gentle bouncing and shaking move lymph and stimulate cellular activity.
Medicine, exercise, and natural therapies in one class. Designed and taught by doctors — you will leave transformed that day and with new self-care skills.
Evening Classes
Deep states of release and restoration for the body and mind.
For the very depleted — the ones who can't slow down, the wired-and-tired, the anxious, the chronically braced, the jet-lagged, the ones with not enough sleep and not enough stop in a life.
Designed to allow the body and mind to achieve the states of ease and parasympathetic calm where real healing and repair happen. Long-held, supported postures open the connective tissue and are followed by a practice with guided imagery that brings you to the threshold of sleep and the deep muscle release of Yoga Nidra. In this class we explore the power of the subtle — of stillness and body silence — as one of the most powerful states of health restoration.
"You will leave Dr. Hazel's Medical Qi Gong feeling rejuvenated and nourished… healing treatments and classes, delivered by doctors well trained in naturopathy and many other healing modalities. The absolute best!"
