Foundations of Tai Chi (Start Here)
An introduction to the Taoist Arts of Lishi (Tai Chi, Yoga, Qigong, Breathing and Moving Meditation). Learn the foundation exercises that will boost your health and energy systems.
Feel relaxed, centered and confident
Tai Chi has massive benefits for people of all ages...
I started in my first year at university and found it really helped me enjoy life whilst studying. I was able to get a good result without the stress that I saw many of my friends go through.
I continued to train regularly after graduation as it provided me with a regular time and space to connect with my self amidst the busyness of my early career and starting an running multiple businesses.
I created this course for anyone who is thinking of taking up Tai Chi and in particular if you would like to join one of the classes I run each week.
I have found that people who complete this course before coming to one of my live classes feel much more confident, enjoy the course more and are far more likely to continue practising and feeling the beneefits in their lives.
If you are curious about Tai Chi and Daoist Yoga, would like to take better care of your health, want to feel more energised to do the things you love then this course is for you.

Meet Your Instructor
I have been practising the Chinese exercise system called Lishi (pronounced "Lee" "Sher") for twenty years and in that time I have seen remarkable changes in the energy levels and happiness of thousands of my students lives.
Relax and Strengthen Your Mind and Body....
You will immediately feel the benefits of the exercises and can start making a positive difference in your life very quickly.
If you want to take better care of yourself and enjoy even higher energy levels than you do now then making these exercises part of your day will do it for you.
Course Overview
I have structured the course for beginners so that your knowledge builds progressively.
We will start with a gentle warm-up so you can start to feel good from gently moving all the muscles and joints of your body.
Next we will look at how to breathe properly in a way that maximises your oxygen intake, calms your emotions, relaxes you mind and body and boosts your energy. I guarantee this will be different from the way that you breathe right now.
The foundations of Tai Chi and all of the other Taoist exercises of Lishi are the stances. I teach you seven basic stances in a fun way that will strengthen your legs and make the following sections easier to enjoy.
Daoist Yoga is different from other forms of yoga because it encourages you to always keep moving and never hold postures. We move in and out of the postures smoothly and fluidly. This develops suppleness in a much more natural way and helps you to embody the principles of flowing with life.
We do some standing energy cultivation exercises (Qigong) which are very simple to do but not necessarily easy so I have created 3 different videos to help you progress, strengthen your stamina and build up your energy.
With the firm foundation of the previous exercises in place you are now ready to learn the first three sequences of the Tai Chi Form. We will look at the stance-work, the hand and arm positions and the breathing so that you can co-ordinate all three, perform the moves fluidly and start to experience moving meditation.
