Tai Chi and Qigong class from Hòu Tiān Academy

Tai Chi

ALL CLASSES ARE OPEN TO BEGINNERS

Our Traditional Tai Chi class begins with gentle warm-up exercises to stretch and open the mind and body.

This will be followed by a short Qigong practice to focus on breath control and energy flow. Expect traditional drills and standing meditation.

The core of the class involves learning and refining the Tai Chi 36 step form, a sequence of slow, graceful movements emphasising proper posture, balance, and coordination.

Students will be guided through each movement, explaining its martial application and underlying principles.

Advanced classes may include partner exercises like Push Hands to develop sensitivity and application of Tai Chi concepts.

Throughout the session, emphasis is placed on relaxation, mindfulness, and the harmony of yin and yang.
