The summer timetable is now live on my website. Some classes are continuing from last term but there are new things starting up.
On Tuesday mornings in Leigh we will be going through the Yang style 8 step form from the start: great for beginners but also as a refresher or if you are unfamiliar with this popular short form.
On Wednesday afternoons in Hindley we will be doing the Classic Ba Duan Jin qigong form. This is slightly simpler than the Health Qigong version but is a powerful set of exercises.
And on Thursday evenings in Bryn we will be starting the Yang style 24 step form. This is the most popular form all over the world. It was structured in the 1950s by Grandmaster Li Tianji, Master Faye Yip’s great uncle. The classes will be suitable for all levels from beginners to advanced.
It has been so lovely the past couple of years to get out and do tai chi in the parks, and this is something that I want to continue with. So from 4 July, daytime classes will all be outside. They will be less formal than the indoor classes: rather than learning a form a move at a time, we will get warmed up and then just go through a few tai chi and qigong forms together.
I hope there is something here that takes your fancy and I look forward to playing tai chi and qigong with you.
