Authentic, traditional, mainstream Beginners' Tai Chi Chu'an (Taiji) and Chi Kung (Qigong) and Meditation / Mindfulness taught by China-trained teacher, Cherry Collins
For nearly 20 years, practically ALL of our founder's teacher-training, practice hours and study has been focused on the disciplines of Tai Chi & Qigong, providing her with a locally unrivalled specialist knowledge of the arts she loves, which she shares with her students via her generous teaching methods.
When you book our classes you can be assured that you are going to learn true Tai Chi and Qigong as we don't spread ourselves thin by teaching lots of other things. We are a FULL TIME school teaching 6 days / evenings a week with branches in Surrey and Yorkshire, totalling over 250 active students. Some of those in our advanced classes have been with us from the very start, 16 years ago.
Our classes will help you to loosen and strengthen your body, improve overall health, clear the mind and lift your mood. Sleep quality will improve and you'll feel altogether happier, knowing you're doing something positive for your own health and wellbeing. Studies in China have also recently shown that Tai Chi regulates appetite and so aids in weight management.

Beginner daytime classes
Our classes are extremely popular and most of the time we operate a short waiting list. When vacancies in the classes accur or when a new class is scheduled we contact people from the waiting list to see if they would like a place.
If you'd like to start learning Tai Chi & Qigong this spring, drop us a message via the button below and we will be in touch to confirm you're on the waiting list / offer you a place asap.
Beginner daytime classes are currently only on Tuesdays in Mytchett.
COMPLETE BEGINNERS
The main beginner intake, when new beginner classes start, is usually September and January but it is also possible to join throughout the year at appropriate times.
Our Tuesday Chill 6.30pm class (Qigong and Meditation) operates a short waiting list and is for beginners / all levels.
Other evening classes are added throughout the year, as time slots/ venues become available so do drop us a message even if you don't see what you want above :)
Do you have some previous Tai Chi or martial arts experience? Or maybe you pick up movements quickly and are willing to put some time in at home with our included video tutorials to catch up?
If so, you might be able to join either our Monday 7.30pm or Tuesday 7.30pm Beginner-plus class.
Send us an enquiry and let us know your experience. Also please mention the classes you're interested in.

An ad-free video resource of over 400 tutorial videos, featuring our instructor Cherry, teaching all the sets of exercises you'll learn in class, each move broken down in detail just as it is in class, plus full set follow along videos. This resource aids practice between classes or acts as a catch-up if you have to miss a session. The more you practice the more benefit you will feel :) Everyone who subscribes to classes (except via Zoom) has access to the video channel included for as long as they have an active class subscription.

If you have ANY cold-like symptoms or a cough please do not attend your class until all symptoms have gone, so that the rest of the group can enjoy the class without concern of catching a virus.
Booking online secures your place in the class. You will have the option to renew for further blocks of classes thereafter.
Classes are weekly during Surrey schools term-time, are 1 hour long and cost £10 each, paid in blocks of about 6 classes, by online card payment via our webstore.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Although Tai Chi & Qigong are slow, low impact exercises, they may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a pre-existing health condition please check with your healthcare provider before booking as we cannot advise on any medical condition you may have nor on the suitability of the exercises in respect of any medical condition. The movements involve slow bending stretching and twisting, within your own comfort range, and you will be on your feet for 1 hour.
ILLNESS/ HOLIDAY /MISSING CLASSES/ LEAVING US
You can leave the class by letting us know via email and your membership will lapse at the end of the block which you have paid for.
If you miss a class in a block of classes which you have booked, or if you leave the class during the block, the fees for the missed week(s) in that block of classes are non-refundable. and cannot be transferred to another date. This is because the place in the class was allocated to you for the entire block when you booked and will not have been available for another potential student to book.
