Course intent

Tai Chi is an ancient oriental art that over time helps revitalise mind, body and spirit through the learning and practice of “the form” (set sequences of movements performed slowly with precision).

The intent of the course is to introduce you to the principles and practice of Tai Chi, and using a range of gentle but powerful exercises, to help you revitalise your mind, body, and spirit.

What will I learn?

You will learn a variety of exercises to develop balance, body awareness and mental focus to prepare you for learning the form. Exercises will be repeated frequently to consolidate learning and improve your practical abilities.

Courses build on past learning, week by week, to develop new skills, understanding and abilities, and may involve small group sessions. You will find you make the most progress if you attend every taught lesson and practise the exercises at home, fitting them into your daily routine.
