What style of tai chi do you teach?

We teach a new research based programme created by us that we call Tai Chi Foundations Part 1 using selected movements from traditional Yang Taijiquan.
Together we will explore the dynamic of yin-yang as an embodied mindful practice for our health and wellness.
We will start each session with some slow, mindful movements, beginning with the most fundamental movement of life - our natural breath cycle.
Tai Chi Foundations Part 1 aims to offer us just that, a foundation to build upon.

We will build our strength, improve our balance, and allow ourselves to experience a deep sense of relaxation.

A true moving meditation.

Who can join, I haven't tried tai chi before?

We've designed this programme for everyone to enjoy. Anyone can join whether your new to tai chi or have practiced tai chi before. You can enjoy the movements seated or standing up and we encourage you to adapt movements to suit your needs and comfort levels.

Tai Chi Foundations

Welcome to Tai Chi Foundations

A research based programme of Yang Tai Chi movements that will build strength, improve balance and promote a deep sense of relaxation.

Tai Chi for Health Class at Cliffe Castle Park, Keighley.

Discover Qigong

Qigong is the modern term for an ancient set of health exercises collectively called Daoyin.

Daoyin exercises integrate mindful practice with a elegant and balanced flow of the whole body with gentle awareness on the breath.

Daoyin Tu - Wellcome Trust, London

These exercises have their origins in a range of health and wellness practises called Yangsheng - 养生 - meaning to nourish or cultivate life.

Coordinating the mindful movements with our natural breathing cycle creates a deep sense of relaxation and wellbeing.

The scroll above illustrates a Daoyin chart excavated from the Mawangdui Tomb 3 (sealed in 168BC) in the former kingdom of Changsha, called 'Guiding and Pulling Chart'.
