What is Chi Gong and Tai Chi? 

Tai Chi and Chi Gong are ancient forms of Chinese exercise that have been practised for hundreds of years to help promote well-being in both body and mind. The soft yet strong flowing movements in combination with meditative breathing and mind focus bring a deep sense of connection both within our own body and mind but also with the world around us. This is why training in the park is such a beautiful experience.

Class details:- 

• 18.45 - We all meet under the 'Big Red Dog' bridge in Rembrandt Park and then walk together to our training space.
• 19.00 - 20.00 - Beginners Course

The first hour is for students of all abilities. Both beginners and foundation students train, inspire and support each other.

Over the 8 weeks, we will be exploring the principles of Tai Chi through foundation exercises as well as learn the movements of the Chen style Form Lao Jia Yilu. This is said to be the oldest form of Tai Chi practised and is both gentle and dynamic. It's a wonderful way to get your energy flowing in a calm and relaxed way.

We will close our session together with the new students finishing their training after this first hour. You are very welcome to stay, ask questions, watch the rest of the training session and enjoy the park afterwards if you want to.

• 20.00 - 20.30 - Foundation Course
