Yang Style Tai Chi and Qi Gong Fundamentals

This one-day course is an ideal opportunity for students to discover and develop some of the fundamentals of tai chi, qi gong and bagua. Existing students will focus on refining and deepening the foundational material, allowing them to gain more from their practice and the greater curriculum at The Tai Chi Space in 2020.

There are two streams of learning:
1) Fundamentals – Energy Gates Qi Gong

Through developing the correct physical alignments, dropping qi and then building the movement in Tai Chi Clouds Hands, you will gain an insight and experience of connecting up your body and moving, whilst maintaining an awareness of your outer form. This skill can then be applied in other qi gong and internal arts practices.

Beginners and New Students – this is an excellent entry-level course.
Experienced Students – this is an opportunity to refine your alignments and movements, deepen your ability to relax and enhance the flow of qi you can generate.
