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.

We are currently in the last half-term of the academic year and our existing beginner classes remain fully booked. However, due to high demand we are offering FOUR new classes for new joiners to start in September. Classes are booked in blocks of about 6 or 7 consecutive weeks (a half-term) at the rate of £10 per class. ALL classes in a block are payable, even if you have to miss one or two, but we do give you FREE access to our online video tutorials so you can practice along at home / on holiday instead. Your place is guaranteed for as long as you remain a club member, but you can leave the club at the end of any block by letting us know that you won't be continuing.
We are currently taking enquiries from new joiners and we will let everyone who has enquired know when booking opens.
Your place is guaranteed once a booking has been made. If you cancel within two weeks of the first class date there is no refund. Cancel with more than 2 full weeks notice and a full refund will be issued.
See full booking terms below
See section below if you have some experience
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.
REFUNDS
Once you book a block of classes that place is taken off our website and is reserved for you. Therefore we don't provide refunds within 2 weeks of the start of a block of classes as it will require us to re-advertise to fill the space. If you cancel by email with more than 2 weeks notice to the first class of the block you have booked, we will issue a full refund
