SURREY AND HANTS TAI CHI school
Beginners - Start here
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 Cherry's teacher-training, practice hours and study has been focused on the ONE discipline of Tai Chi & Qigong, providing her with a locally unrivalled specialist knowledge of the art. We have 17 classes a week, five of which(below) are for new beginners starting in the autumn term.
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 with branches in Surrey and Yorkshire, totalling over 200 active students, we teach as our business, not just once a week as a part-time hobby
Our classes will 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. So, what's stopping you? 1) Join a class, 2) Learn a skill 3) Thrive :)
Our main beginner intake is in September and January with smaller intakes throughout the year at relevant points in the course. If you'd like to join a class after the pre-term booking has closed, just get in touch and we will let you know where and when you can begin.

ILLNESS/ HOLIDAY /MISSING CLASSES/ LEAVING US
We follow Surrey Schools term-time.
Classes are booked in blocks of about 6 weeks (half a term)
If you miss a class in a block of classes which you have booked, or if you leave the class mid-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.
You can leave the class by letting us know via email and your membership will lapse at the end of the block you have paid for.
If we are still near the start of a new beginner course and if another person is waiting to join, we will offer them your place and if they join you will receive a refund for the classes which the new joiners books, less an admin fee of £10, to cover the cost of additional admin time, and the cost to us of receiving and refunding your fees electronically.
