the twin oaks method

Where ancient wisdom meets modern life to support your body, mind, heart, and spirit

I created the Twin Oaks Method to make movement and wellness simple and gentle, supporting joint mobility and balance while helping adults build confidence in everyday activities, deepen body awareness, and cultivate a deeper sense of inner peace.

    Having had rheumatoid arthritis since childhood, I have tried so many (so many!) things in hopes of getting some pain relief and slowing the progression of joint deterioration […] then one day, after only a couple of classes, I walked to my car and noticed my severe ankle pain wasn't there, what?! […] I would highly recommend these classes to anyone who wants to take back their health!

  • Rebecca S

    “When I’ve completed a full session from Sue’s online classes, I feel an innate sense of peace, knowing that I’ve done self care for today, that will serve me in my future… Sue is so easy to follow, and even the short videos are super beneficial.  I’m so grateful to have been introduced to Sue and love incorporating Qigong into my life.”

  • Amy M

    […} As a continuing student, I value the variety of recorded session lengths, and focus areas (love the getting ready for sleep sessions and getting ready for the day sessions). My body, mind, and spirit feel more connected and alive during and after sessions. I look forward to both the live and recorded Qi Gong sessions with Sue. Qi Gong stretches and strengthens areas of my body that have not always been attended to. It feels so good! […]

  • Nan M

    “In Sue Brian’s “no stress” QiGong class, the slow relaxed movements with intentional breathing is for me, the perfect end of the week wind down… Sue is wonderful at explaining and modeling the moves and making everyone feel at ease.”

  • Sarah P

    “Being in Sue's class was like taking a rejuvenating bath. She shaped our practice to the season (fall) and explained how the movements we did were affecting our organs. Sue's energy was so warm and gentle - it was lovely to just be around her. I'm looking forward to my next class with Sue!”

  • Lisa M

    “I highly recommend taking Sue’s amazing classes. Sue delivers an inviting calm and engaging supportive energy leaving her classes with joy and inner peace to your daily life as it has for mine.”

  • Kim J

    […] Each class with Sue is something to look forward to. It's often the only moment during a busy week where I get to slow down and feel grounded. But it's not only about that --- in Sue's class, you get to move your body, you get to release so much from your mind, and you walk away from each class feeling like your body and mind got just what it needed.

    “I took Sue Brian's Qigong on Friday afternoon and what great way to start the weekend! ‘Qigong is like meditation in motion. It helps quiet the mind while energizing the body,’  Sue is an excellent instructor, explains everything really well and makes the class super fun too!”

  • Lissy S

    In B.A.S.I.C.S.+ “Sue uses gentle yoga stretches, flexibility and strength/balance exercises plus eye and brain coordination activities, all in a small class setting. She explains what each movement does for our bodies and always encourages us to do the right amount of work for ourselves at this time.

    Highly recommend! I feel better after each class.”

  • Christine M

    After just the first Qi Gong class I noticed a significant improvement in my energy levels and overall well-being. The personalized approach and holistic focus on mind-body harmony have been invaluable in helping me manage the  stress and enhance my vitality.  […]

  • Ina S

    “I started taking Sue’s B.A.S.I.C.S. class in early July 2025 as I had a lot of shoulder and neck pain due to 2 compressed cervical vertebra. After the very first class, the pain was much alleviated for at least 4 days. It felt like a miracle! I have continued to enjoy her class to this day, and I would recommend it to anyone trying to build strength, flexibility and manage aging well.”

  • Susan G

    I find Sue’s qigong classes to be the perfect start to my day - a calm way to waken my body with just the right amount of cardio.  I appreciate Sue’s soothing voice as well as her gentle manner and learning how the various exercises help my body and the intention behind the moves.  I am so grateful that I can enjoy this all  from the comfort of my home!

    Qigong has been a new experience for me. I learned about it at Evergreen PT lab, where Sue Brian introduced classes there. Since I regularly work on my strength, balance and building muscle, and play Pickleball often, I was looking for softer breath work, stretching and relaxing. Qigong has been a wonderful compliment. I feel refreshed with an overall feeling of relaxation and fresh energy. I encourage everyone to give it a try.
