In this class students will practice Tai Chi Chuan, the Pa Tuan Chin and the Nei Kung. We will also do meditation and push hands exercises as well as looking at the philosophy, principles and applications underlying these practices.

The classes will follow the interests of individual students whether they want to improve their health, learn about the martial arts or discover more about the spiritual aspects of these practices.

The course is for all levels - from beginners to those with much experience.
