What to Expect in Class

The class moves at a gentle pace, with David clearly explaining each practice. Newcomers are supported step by step, while those with previous experience can use the class to refine, deepen and reconnect with their practice.

A typical session may include:

Neigong or meditation practice
Time to slow down, reset and reconnect

The atmosphere is calm, supportive and unhurried. You will be encouraged to work at your own pace and listen to your body throughout the class.

You do not need to be flexible, fit or highly experienced. The practice is gentle and adaptable, making it suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities.

A Practice for Body, Mind and Spirit

Tai Chi is rooted in long-standing Chinese traditions that bring together gentle movement, breathwork, meditation and internal awareness.

Unlike many forms of exercise, this practice is not about pushing the body, forcing flexibility or trying to achieve perfect shapes. Instead, it invites you to move with ease, listen inwardly and develop a more relaxed, grounded way of being.

Through slow, mindful movement and steady breathing, students learn to soften tension, improve balance and become more present in the body. Over time, the practice can help create a deeper sense of calm, strength and inner stability.

Many students describe the experience as calming, nourishing and quietly powerful.

Why Practice Tai Chi?

Regular practice can help you feel more grounded, centred and at ease. The combination of slow movement, mindful breathing and focused attention supports both physical wellbeing and mental clarity.

Students often leave class feeling lighter, clearer and more balanced. With time, the practice can become a valuable part of your weekly rhythm — a space to breathe, move and return to yourself.

Give yourself time each week to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect.
