The workshops will focus on the principles of Tai Chi, particularly correct bodily alignment through relaxation, poise, rooting and interaction. When the body is correctly aligned then gravity and its inevitable kick-back from the Earth naturally cleanse the mind, cleave the body into its component parts, store and issue energy from the various centres (chakras), and encourage an awareness, at once immediate and developing, of the interacting energies of the particular situation and the general condition. Then our actions – our creative endeavour – issue and spring naturally from this alignment (rather than the calculating mind), casting off the past in the process of moving on.

Previous Tai Chi experience is not essential: the only requirement is willingness and trust.
