Taiji – Knole Academy

TAI CHI & QIGONG for all ages and levels.
Classes run in courses, but it is often possible to join in the middle of a course, and every class can be tried out (£5) before committing to it.

If you choose to do more than one class, the other classes are only charged at 50% of the full rate.

Thursday: 6.35-7.30pm: TAI CHI SWORD.
This is for any level, taught from the beginning.

Thursday: 7.35-8.30pm: TAI CHI HAND FORM.
The Yang style 24-Step Form is taught from beginner to advanced. This is a ‘standardised’ routine that is practiced throughout the world, and is an excellent introduction to tai chi.

Thursday: 8.35-9.30pm: QIGONG.
There are 2 types of qigong taught; static Zhan Zhuang and moving sets of Daoyin exercises.

This term we will be working on a set for all the major organs in the body.
