Tai Chi Yang: Advanced

Course Summary

Learn the gentle art of Tai Chi Yang with an option to continue through to advanced classes as you progress. Following on from the Beginners class, we add new forms of slow gentle movements of Tai Chi. Continue your journey towards harmony of mind and a supple body. Gain awareness of the motions of muscles and joints, breathing and movement of the diaphragm. Experience the restorative effects of careful exercise. 

Students interested in the Continuing course must have previously studied Tai Chi or have completed Tai Chi Yang: Beginners.

Using a series of movements and postures called forms, you utilise slow, flowing movement to develop your intrinsic energy. You gain awareness of the motions of muscles and joints, breathing and movement, and you experience the restorative effects of mindful exercise. 

Please speak to your tutor before the first session if you have any health concerns or if you are pregnant. 

Please wear comfortable clothing so you can move freely. You will be required to remove your shoes so you may wish to wear socks or bring some with you.

Change rooms are available.
