Cost = £120 for 10 week term
Beginners Level
This level introduces our Tai Chi form.
It teaches the basic movements and core principles of Cheng Man Ch'ing's Tai Chi in three "thirds", ie B1, B2 & B3. Each third is taught in a 10 week term, in bite size chunks each week.
Fundamentals Level
This level builds internal awareness.
It revisits the whole of Beginners level form with a focus on self-observation, and on making changes which allow you to truly embody the principles of Tai Chi in your personal practice of the form.
Please ask about concessions
Intermediate Level
This level deepens the meditation.
It makes minor refinements to smooth out the transitions between individual postures. The form then becomes one continuous flow - an exchange of Yin and Yang that is like simply breathing.
Tai Chi 'conversation'
This practices real life interactions. Also known as "Push Hands", this pairs practice teaches us how to stay relaxed while interacting with others. We learn to connect, listen, & respond, without feeling anxious or being defensive.
*Class is provisional depending on enough sign-ups in week 1 of term
