Open Masterclass
Fundamentals of Tai Chi: Building a Strong Foundation.
Developing a strong foundation is invaluable as it forms the groundwork for improved balance, coordination, and body awareness. It allows practitioners to achieve proper alignment, posture, and efficient movement, leading to enhanced physical control and flexibility. Furthermore, it cultivates mindfulness, inner quiet and the ability to harness and circulate Chi (energy) effectively, leading to overall health and well-being. With a solid foundation, we can fully experience the transformative benefits of Tai Chi both physically and mentally.

Open Masterclass
Tai Chi Pushing Hands: Enhancing Sensitivity and Connection.
Pushing hands is a unique exercise that allows practitioners to enhance their sensitivity, connection and deepen their understanding of Tai Chi principles. Through partner exercises, we develop a refined sense of touch and perception enabling us to feel and respond to subtle movements and changes in energy. Pushing hands fosters a sense of connection and cooperation with training partners as we engage in a mutual exploration of movement and energy, promoting a profound awareness of the interplay between ourselves and others.
These open masterclasses are suitable for all levels of Tai Chi practitioner. For beginners the thought of a full day can be daunting with thoughts of, ‘do I know enough?’, floating around. We’ll spend each day in partner work using simple, clearly explained, and demonstrated exercises to examine the details of our practice. If you’re a beginner and your keen to learn, you already have everything you need.
Open to all levels, beginners to advanced and visitors from other schools.
