About the classes…..
Styles of Taiji will vary so here’s a brief rundown of what to expect
We always begin with a quietening down of the active superficial mind. ……some gentle stretches then into the 5 main Loosening Exercises developed by Huang Shen Shyan.
Short Form revision and a new posture , co-ordinating body movements accurately.The form we practice in the beginning is the Cheng Man Ching 37 posture Short Form.
Partnerwork , yielding & neutralising .
A short meditation to finish .
Taiji.
Movement is Medicine
Practised by thousands of people worldwide ,
Taiji has its roots in ancient China.
Many people practice daily for health or
esoteric reasons but Taiji goes a lot deeper.

The Taiji Classics
Essential reading for all practitioners across all styles of Taiji . The original manuscripts outlining the principles of Taiji.

Although push hands may look like martial applications externally , internally the practice is complete different.
A subtle interplay of forces between two people.

Info…..
Taiji ( Tai Chi ) , Myofascial Release , Meditation , Self Care program.
Taiji principles…
A list of instructions so to speak of how to perform and learn Taiji correctly.
The original manuscripts. ……….if these instructions are not at the core of your practice , then at best you are just doing Taiji type physical movements.
Learning …..
Learning anything new requires a structured approach or a model.
I keep it simple , from there , body sensations arise allowing a natural progression for each individual. From experience I find this is better than a drop in when you like class. I encourage committing to a term of classes .
Sunday Taiji
Sunday morning practice in the Park. Come rain or shine. Emphasising partnerwork ( push hands ). Big trees for rain cover and shade…
Partnerwork is for all practioners although a little instruction is necessary .
