Discover the ancient art of Tai Chi in this welcoming beginner course in Sydney. Practising Tai Chi improves balance, coordination and core strength while enhancing mental clarity and flexibility. Through gentle, flowing movements, you’ll develop a deeper awareness of the mind-body connection and experience a greater sense of calm and wellbeing.
This introductory class focuses on Chen style Tai Chi, known for its twisting and silk-reeling movements. You’ll explore grounding, centring, weight differentiation and breathing techniques, while learning the first movements of the 38 Chen form to experience true "flow".
Tai Chi is both a healing and martial art. As a healing art, it promotes harmony between mind, body and spirit. As a martial art, it develops internal strength, structure and body mechanics from the inside out. With regular practice, students often notice improved circulation, reduced stress and enhanced overall wellbeing.
