FIND A TAI CHI CLASS

Tai Chi Shibashi is a gentle, flowing practice rooted in the principles of traditional
Tai Chi and Qigong.

Through slow, mindful movement, natural breathing and relaxed awareness, we explore balance, harmony and the connection between body and mind.

At the heart of Tai Chi are the principles of Yin and Yang — the complementary qualities of movement and stillness, softness and strength, giving and receiving.

Rather than forcing or striving, we learn to move with ease, release unnecessary tension and cultivate a sense of calm, stability and wellbeing.

I teach Tai Chi Shibashi Sets 1 and 2, offering friendly, accessible classes in Chipping Sodbury, Emersons Green and Downend, near Bristol.

Suitable for beginners and all levels of experience, my classes offer a peaceful opportunity to improve balance, mobility and coordination, reduce stress and enjoy the benefits of mindful movement.
