A Typical Class...

• Typically we start with a set of Warm-Up exercises
• Then 'Standing Practice' (Zhan Zhuang) - a powerful internal practice where a static Qigong posture is held for a period of time, as a meditation and stillness exercise, focusing on relaxation, softening the body, lowering the heart rate and slowing the breath.
• This may be followed by 'Silk Reeling' and then detailed practice of a small part of one of the Chen style forms (forms are sets of movements)

This Beginners hour is well-suited for people of any level to develop the key elements needed for Tai Chi and provides a routine that all can practise between classes.

'Improvers' also practise other Chen-style forms including the Sword and Spear forms.
