Enjoy relaxing…tai chi style

Just relax! How many times have you heard that said in a tai chi class? But how?

We spend most of our time in a class exploring just how to relax, and then letting go even more…

My Sifu Herman Chan-Pensley would repeat the words of his master – ‘Just do, do, do’ . There’s no substitute for us just doing our tai chi and progressively relaxing ourselves and our form more and more.

However – modern technology being what it is, and it being holiday time at Oakham tai chi club, I thought these video tips from a respected teacher might also help.

Got tight shoulders? Not sure how to hold your tongue on the roof of your mouth? These video tips are a great help in explaining things really clearly.

Hope they help

Oakham Tai Chi class resumes on Tuesday September 9

Happy holidays and enjoy your tai chi

Slowly, slowly – it’s the tai chi way…

Seeking quick results is like arriving before you’ve even started. Take things slowly – you might jump over something vital you really need to know.

Thought for the day…

Tai chi does not mean oriental wisdom or something exotic. It is the wisdom of your own senses, your own mind and body together as one process.
