Curious about movement that heals, calms, and energizes? Join us at BeWell Marquette every Monday at 6:30 pm for our Taijiquan (Tai Chi), Qigong & Budo Arts class led by Sensei Dr. Traci Baxendale Ball.

This 2‑hour practice begins with a restorative hour of Qigong—a moving meditation that centers your breath, softens your joints, calms the mind, and enhances balance through the five‑element cleanse. Then, you’re invited into the artful flow of Tai Chi’s Combined 42 Forms and disciplined Bo (stick) training, blending martial skill with graceful energy dynamics.

Whether you’re new to mindful movement or curious about internal martial practices, drop‑ins and beginners are warmly welcome. It’s the perfect opportunity to explore movement that supports both body and mind!

Cooler days are here, warm up from the inside out!

As the weather cools down, it’s the perfect time to slow down, recharge, and support your body’s natural rhythm of rest and renewal. One of our favorite ways to embrace the season? A session in our infrared sauna.

Whether you're recovering from a workout, managing stress, or simply craving a moment of warmth and calm, our infrared sauna is the perfect autumn companion!

Step into the heat. Step into balance.
Book your session today, your body will thank you.

How many of us come home at the end of the day and immediately change into comfortable clothing? Why are we not wearing comfortable clothing all day long? What we wear affects our health and contributes to our anxiety or contentedness.
The formula is simple.
Tight clothes = inhibited breathing & circulation = anxiety, higher blood pressure, stress, disease.

A full, easy breath is essential for optimal health. A restricted breath stresses the body physically and mentally. Constricting clothing restricts the breath. I've noticed that if I wear a particular pair of high-waisted leggings that has tight elastic right at my belly button, my breath gets a slightly panicked feeling to it. I'm a little more wound up and frazzled. I find myself pausing to breathe deeply. These feelings are immediately relieved if I fold them down and let my belly be free.

**A soft, pliable belly is absolutely essential to breathe well, to digest well and for the organs to function. **
Don't worry, a soft, pliable belly can also be strong!

The other place our breath gets restricted is around the rib cage. The rib cage must be able to expand and contract. This movement is literally what changes the pressure in the chest cavity to draw air in. If a bra band or tight shirt limits movement, breathing is limited, and life exuberance is limited!

Other clothing culprits to consider.... too-tight jeans. If jeans are too tight around the top of the leg /groin area, blood flow is constricted. My legs feel heavier and my back aches if I wear too-tight jeans.

Finally, shoes!! Our feet do so much for us. Happy or unhappy feet affect movement and pain through our entire body. This is one place I think fashion has failed us the most. It has been tricky to find shoes that allow feet to be feet. But fortunately, the 'barefoot' shoe industry is growing.

So to summarize and to be clear, I am most definitely not a fan of wearing baggy, frumpy clothes and Grandpa's bunion shoes. But I'm not willing to sacrifice my physical and mental health just to look "good".

Wellness includes making priorities and choices. Clothing affects our health and it's an easy choice we can make.

BeWell Marquette is a collaborative wellness and play center intended for all ages and capabilities. We aim to offer people essential tools for living well. These are not ‘luxury’ items, but rather, the basics for nourishing our bodies and minds. We would like to empower people to take responsibility for their own well-being and offer them diverse healing options. The young, old, weak, strong, out-of-shape, couch potato, athletes, etc… shall all feel that this place is for them.

BeWell mqt has a large space for a diverse schedule of classes, workshops and events, in addition to three private treatment rooms for wellness practitioners. There will also be a salt room for respiratory, skin, and “aaaah” support. And the play space will always be open for self-massage care and inspiration.

A key piece of BeWell will be the outreach program which will work with local, state and federal organizations to make BeWell’s services available to a larger population. Because we could all use a little wellness boost!
