MY STYLE TAI CHI
My first passion was Li Family Style Tai Chi, which opened my eyes to good health without pills. As my interest grew, a study of alternative therapies, including aromatherapy, massage, acupressure, cupping and moxibustion followed as a natural progression .
I have trained under several Tai Chi & Chi Gung Teachers all of whom have their own interpretation of what
Tai Chi is, and how it should be taught. I feel enriched to have experienced these differing views as this gave me the courage to follow my own path. I have now been a Teacher and holistic therapist for several years.
I follow the basic principles of Li Family Style Tai Chi because I believe that the movements and stances within this style work with the body without imposing stress and strain. This makes it a style particularly suitable for those of us who are older, or who have joints or limbs with limited movement, as well as those taking up Tai Chi at an early age. It is a style suited to everyone!
I include Chi Gung and Tai Chi in all of the classes
I realise that Tai Chi is a personal journey for everyone because we are all different. Our bodies all move in a different way and we all have different health issues,and different emotional situations that have shaped us into who we are today. I encourage my students to perform Tai Chi to the best of their own individual abilities, within their own physical limitations.
Although T’ai Chi derives from a martial art I teach it as a holistic health art.
My classes have a relaxed, friendly, non-competitive atmosphere which helps make
learning and practicing this wonderful art a real pleasure.
I want to share my knowledge with you to help you lead a healthy, active, joyful life
I want to help YOU get the best out of YOU
The classes,workshops and courses I offer are not about me- they are for YOU
I encourage questions and interaction because this is YOUR journey, My role is to support YOU along the way
Best Wishes
