🀄️Mahjong Intensive Workshop with Monica Stein at the Behavioral Fitness studio in Walnut Creek
4 Hours • Limited to 4 Participants • Lunch Included
Ready to finally learn Mahjong—or turn all those rules and tiles into something that actually makes sense?
Join Monica Stein, the instructor behind Behavioral Fitness’s popular Mahjong learning cohorts, for a special 4-hour Mahjong Intensive designed for just four participants.
With such a small group, you’ll have plenty of individual attention, time to ask questions, practice hands, make mistakes, and learn by actually playing. Monica will guide you step-by-step through the essentials while helping you understand not just what to do, but why you’re doing it.
We’ll cover the tiles, setup and flow of play, Charleston, reading the card, building a hand, strategies for making decisions as the game develops, and the rules and rhythms that can feel overwhelming when you’re first learning.
And because three hours of Mahjong is serious brain work, lunch is included!
This workshop is ideal for beginners as well as newer players who have learned some of the basics but want more concentrated practice and confidence before joining a regular game.
Your workshop includes:
- 4 hours of hands-on Mahjong instruction with Monica Stein
- An exceptionally small group — maximum of 4 participants
- Guided play and individualized coaching
- Plenty of time for questions and practice
- Lunch
- A welcoming, no-pressure place to learn
- 3 Open play Games sessions at the Be-Fit studio ($30 value)Â
Investment: $250 per person (non BF Member) or $230 (BF Members)Â
Only 4 spots available.
Mahjong has a learning curve—and you don’t have to figure it out alone. Come spend an afternoon learning, playing, laughing, and getting more comfortable around the table.
Behavioral Fitness — More Than Movement.
🀄 Meet Your Instructor: Monica Stein
Monica Stein brings more than 20 years of experience playing and teaching Mahjong, and she’s excited to share her love of the game with the community.
What does Monica love about Mahjong? It’s so much more than a game. It engages your brain, memory, decision-making and strategy, while bringing people together for conversation, laughter, and connection. It’s an activity you can continue learning and enjoying for years.
Many at BF already know Monica as one of our valued Community Partners. She has been deeply invested in supporting the wellness and connection of our community through meditation, sound healing, energy healing, yoga, and other restorative experiences.
Bringing Mahjong to BF combines so much of what Monica—and Behavioral Fitness—value: learning, brain health, connection, fun, and community.
