Tuesday 7pm class is our most relaxing class, also known as 'The Tuesday Chill' .
Qigong (literally 'Energy Work' ) is the 'Mother' of Tai Chi, which came along some 4500 years after Qigong.
It has no martial arts connections and is purely gentle yet powerful exercise for physical, mental aand emotional health, coming under the Chinese Medicine umbrella as a method of smoothing and promoting the flow of energy around the human body. It's slow and meditative
You can work as easily or powerfully as you feel right for you, de-stress, relieve aches pains and stiffness and float home in a state of bliss.
We will be covering Shaolin Yoga 'Yi Jin Jing' Qigong in Sept/Oct - an authentic Shaolin set which our instructor Cherry learnt whilst training full-time with a Shaolin matial arts teacher in China in 2009-2011.

Tai Chi originated as a martial art but although the movements retain their martial arts purpose, which is explained as we learn, they are practiced in our class solely as a system of self-improvement. There is no 'combat' or pad work.
The Tuesday 8pm class will cover Tai Chi foundation exercises, with Tai Chi walking exercises forming the basis for developing Tai Chi skill. We focus on Tai Chi techniques, with the Tai Chi principles as the underpinning guidelines for posture, breath mindfulness and movement.
Authentic traditional mainstream Tai Chi from a China-trained instructor.
Tai Chi strengthens the body, promotes a sense of wellbeing and calm and regulates the flow of energy within the human body, thereby regulating the bodily systems and restoring balance.
