Free Introduction

Each term begins with a free introduction class. This is a chance to see a demonstration, hear about our school and experience the movements of Tai Chi Chuan for yourself.

We will tell you about the health benefits, our curriculum and the origins of our school. At the end of every introductory session we have questions and answers followed by refreshments, which allows for an opportunity to meet and socialise with your fellow students and teachers.

You are advised to wear loose comfortable clothing and bring along two pairs of socks or Tai Chi slippers if you have a pair.

Embrace Earth tuning

Embrace Earth Tuning home

12 September – 10 October 2020

Earth season is about spending time on yourself and others.
It is time to accept ourselves for who we are.
How can we feel cared for and secure in this time of social distancing?
We need to relax, feel the embrace of the Dao, tune into our center and develop compassion for ourselves and others.
It’s the time to connect with our human family.

We warmly invite you to join the Embrace Earth Tuning, during which we will center ourselves for four weeks. Join with new and old friends to experience harmony within yourself and within a community of tai chi lovers generating qi together.

The program will begin with an online Zoom session on Sept 12 at 1:30 pm EDT.
And proceed with each person doing the work at home on their own. We will end with another Zoom session.
