Workshops

We have been enjoying a series of workshops to augment our regular classes and increase our knowledge and understanding of different elements of Tai Chi and related arts.

Energy Workers

Recent workshops have been visits from “Energy workers” Allan Hassoun and Pierette Boutin, both of which added to our understanding of Qi Gong.

David Street: Internal Tai Chi

David Street has visited us on several occasions to enhance our understanding of the internal form of Tai Chi to enable us to move our Tai Chi practice to a higher level. Those sessions certainly explained what we should be trying to achieve and why in more detail, with some useful exercises to do.

Daniel Fow: Qi Gong

Our third visitor was Daniel Fow, an Osteopath who is very knowledgeable about Qi Gong. He gave a very informative talk on what Qi Gong is and led us through meditation and breath work to focus Qi (energy) on different parts of the body. He also led us through exercises to enable the Chi to flow better through our bodies.

Like everyone, the pandemic took its toll on us, so we were unable to have any events. We were, however, able to celebrate our 10th Anniversary with a wonderful lunch provided by the Cafe @ The Centre.
