Courses description

Tai Chi was originally a Chinese martial art that was later developed both for healing the self and others. In the West it is now practiced mainly for its amazing health benefits. This class will focus on the health aspect via studying various techniques including Tai Chi form and standing postures developed by Tai Chi Grandmaster Dr Shen Hongxun. You will learn how to use the body as a unified whole via flowing movements that cultivate balance, strength, calm, and flexibility. Through the movements of Tai Chi we activate our body's natural forces, and then use these for martial practice as well as self-healing. The natural quietening of the mind that develops, means that Tai Chi can be thought of as a form of moving meditation. Classes will teach the fundamental principles of energy cultivation, how to apply these principles in each of the Tai Chi postures, and then how to string these postures together in a Yang style Tai Chi form.

Please note: there will be no class on 23rd October, this class is postponed to 18th December.
