Tai chi in the park

We are now allowed to meet up outside in groups of six, as long as we practise social distancing, so it seems like a good time for tai chi in the park. I will be continuing with online classes but am going to try a couple of small outside classes, weather permitting, venues below. For these to work I need to strictly restrict class size to five people. This means that you do need to book in advance for every class. These classes will be £6/class. There is no monthly discount because I don't know how long they will continue, but like the online classes you can pay for more than one class at a time if you want to. Contact me to book a place. 😀

Beijing 10 step form

For Kyle as promised, here is Master Faye Li Yip doing the Beijing 10 step form. It's a lovely little form if you don't have very much space to practise in.

Workshops with Faye Li Yip

There will be a couple of opportunities coming up in early April to train with Faye Li Yip in the 24 step form. Faye is the great-niece of Li Tianji who originally created this popular form.

On Saturday 5th April she will be in Liverpool doing a one-day workshop for improvers, and on Sunday 6th April in Oldham there will be a rare chance to explore the ten tai chi essences and inner spirit in the context of the 24 step form.

These workshops are a few weeks away but it is best to book early to avoid disappointment.

You can contact Angela Howarth in Liverpool for the first workshop and Phil Garside on 07790 826841 for the second.

San shou (two person form)

This is for Dawn, and anyone else interested in seeing the two-person form. It's performed by my teachers, Tary Yip and Faye Li Yip.
