TaiChi & Chi Gong Workshop

Welcome to Amsterdam Chen Tai Chi and Chi Gong's Workshop

The intention of this workshop

If you are brand new to Tai Chi this is an ideal way to really connect to this practice fully, with plenty of time and input with your teachers Sophie and Bart. If you have studied Tai Chi for a while then this will be a golden opportunity to go deeper into your practice.

Whatever your ability and experience you will feel deeply relaxed yet energised by the end of the day and hopefully inspired and connected to keep Tai Chi in your day to day life as a nourishing well-being practice.

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 wellbeing in both body and mind.
