Foundations of Tai Chi & Qi Gong

Join us for a 20-hour immersive weekend exploring the foundations and practices of Tai Chi and Qigong.
Through step-by-step guidance, you will learn the Yang Style 24-form Tai Chi sequence, building confidence, coordination, and a sense of ease within the flow of the form. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how and why the movements are practiced, not just memorizing choreography.
Alongside movement, we will explore the foundational principles of Yin-Yang theory and the Five Elements, and how these systems inform Qigong practice and the cultivation of balance within the body.
You will also be introduced to key acupressure points for self-care, offering simple and effective tools to support energy flow, relaxation, and overall well-being.
The training includes instruction in the Eight Brocades and Five Animal Qigong Walking styles, providing a well-rounded introduction to traditional practices that enhance strength, mobility, awareness, and vitality.
This module is ideal for dedicated practitioners and yoga teachers who wish to deepen their understanding of Tai Chi and Qigong through both embodied practice and foundational theory, while gaining tools that can be integrated into personal practice or shared with students.
