Program details

Learn Tai Chi by the sea, in Rose Bay, Bronte or Coogee, from a certified instructor, member of the Tai Chi Association of Australia.

These Tai Chi and Qigong classes include a gentle warm-up, drawing our minds into our bodies and slowing down the breath while loosening the body and all major joints.

It is followed by Qigong, to open the energy channels and nurture the Qi.

It then moves to Tai Chi proper, learning and practising a sequence of flowing moves.

The focus is on relaxation of body and mind through slow, conscious movement.

Benefits include better balance, strength, posture, patience, memory and self-confidence.
