A seated meridian massage and meditative exercises (Neigong) to build up the energy centres (Dantiens). The art of sitting quietly and meditating brings us into our centre and supports mental focus. Sitting also involves stretching the leg muscles and hip region (Kua), which is very helpful for Tai Chi.

• relaxing and letting go
• increases body awareness
• leaves you with a wonderful body sensation

Suitable for all levels!

We teach the long form of the Original Yang Style. It is taught in 3 parts and takes about 30 minutes if performed correctly. It takes 2-3 years to learn this form and integrate it well into the body, depending on how much time you want to spend on your Tai Chi. The form is our main exercise tool and the prerequisite for learning the advanced levels.

The Tai Chi form combines self-defense martial arts movements with Taoist internal breathing. The deepening levels provide a profound insight into the Tai Chi principles which eventually transform movement, body and energy.

Good to know…

The courses for the Tai Chi form and the courses for advanced students build on each other.

Working with our partner helps us to continually improve our postures and movements.

A Tai Chi posture works energetically…

• if it feels light and "happy"
• if we can inhale deeply
• if we are stable and can maintain it relatively effortlessly against moderate pressure

Our partner exercises:

• Pushing Hands (Tui Shou) forms
• Fighting Forms (empty handed and with weapons)
• Da Lu forms

The weapons of the Original Yang Style bring further development of the Dantiens and intensify the Chi flow in the whole body.
