Gateway Taiji, Qigong and Yoga, located at 875 Islington Street in Portsmouth, across from the Hannaford’s shopping plaza, is a center for mindful exercise and meditation. Our large studio provides a spacious, sunlit, inviting environment for ongoing classes and special seminars.
The historic mill building has been extensively renovated to create a welcoming, non-judgmental and fun atmosphere where people of all ages and fitness levels can explore, get fit, meditate and connect with others.
