A Twisted WeaponUp Event
Join us for a special stop on The Graceful Warrior Tour as Twisted Bookstore hosts WeaponUp for an unforgettable day of sword yoga and books at Ivory Chateau Event Venue.
A Twisted WeaponUp Event brings together the distinct spirit of WeaponUp with a setting designed for movement, atmosphere, and connection. Across two 45-minute classes, guests will be guided through WeaponUp’s signature blend of tai chi, kung fu sword, and vinyasa yoga in a beginner-friendly flow rooted in centering, mindfulness, and beautiful power.
Held outdoors on a stunning patio, this experience is designed to feel energizing, immersive, and deeply memorable. In the case of bad weather, class will be moved indoors. Whether you are brand new to WeaponUp or already part of our online community, this is a chance to experience the practice in real life — to move with your sword, connect with your body, and step into your inner Graceful Warrior.
All fitness levels are welcome and encouraged to attend. Swords will be provided for use during class. Guests should bring their own yoga mat, towel, water, and any books they would like to contribute to the book swap.
Alongside the WeaponUp classes, local authors will be on site, along with a fantasy and romance book swap hosted indoors. Once checked in, guests are invited to browse, meet the authors, chat about their books, and discover a few new signed favorites. If you run out of time before class, you are welcome to continue browsing and connecting after your session as well.
WeaponUp is more than a workout. It is a movement practice that trains the body in ways that support strength, grace, and long-term vitality. Through this work, participants build:
⚔️ Joint-friendly strength through full range
⚔️ Spinal mobility and rotational control
⚔️ Balance, coordination, and posture
⚔️ Nervous system regulation and stress resilience
If you fall in love with the practice, you will also be able to continue training online through Twisted Bookstore’s affiliate link, with unlimited access to WeaponUp’s growing library of sword yoga classes, workshops, and fundamental sword skills, as well as free access to live sessions through membership.
Please note that check-in for each class begins one hour prior to the scheduled start time, and classes will begin promptly at the ticketed time.
This event is open to guests 18+, and tickets are required for entry.
