Palmer Rokudan: Tuesdays at 6pm and Thursdays at 6:30pm. Wendy is an expert at challenging people to examine techniques from a different perspective. Her classes explore principles at a high level of training as she motivates students beyond their habitual training patterns. Wendy's uncanny ability to recognize individual strengths provides a platform for finding new ways to accomplish techniques without relying on those very same strengths and patterns.
Wendy Palmer began training in 1971. She was drawn to the beauty and power of aikido and recognized the practice as a path to increase empowerment and love. She is the creator of Conscious Embodiment a profound approach to personal and professional development using embodied practices.
