About The Class

This class is open to beginners, places subject to availability. We will focusing on simple yet powerful Qigong movements and Tai Chi foundational movements to build a stable core of relaxed strength within the body. It’s not necessary to attend this class if you wish to just learn the full Wu Style Tai Chi Short Form, but over the years I have seen that people who learn and spend time getting these foundations into their body tend to progress in the full form much better.

We will be opening the body with gentle but focused movements and learning the importance of keeping our ‘four points’ together, shifting weight and turning while keeping our hips level, sinking chi within the body, standing and dissolving as well as some Qigong forms such as Cloud Hands, The Marriage of Heaven and Earth, and The Willow Tree form.

We run this class in 10 week terms and the cost of the 10 weeks is £90.

We don’t usually run the classes during school holidays or bank holidays. Any dates that the classes aren’t running in this term will be listed below:

16th June – Prior room booking

About The Class

 

This class is open to beginners, places subject to availability. In this class we will be learning the Wu Style Tai Chi Short Form with a focus on health and vitality. It is especially good for helping and healing the back and spine, whilst also being great for overall wellbeing.

The Wu Style Short Form consists of 24 movements that can be performed in around 5 minutes, making it perfect for the busy lives we all seem to live these days. It was created to provide the maximum amount of internal movement, relaxed strength development and soft healing with the minimum amount of external movement. It is a really powerful form that can be done at any age and can benefit people of all ages.

We run this class in 10 week terms all throughout the year and the cost of the 10 weeks is £90.

Please note we don’t usually run classes during the school holidays and bank holidays. Any dates that the classes aren’t running in the next term will be listed below:
