Tai Chi Chuan (Shaolin Style)
For health, fitness and fun.
|
Tai Chi has many benefits: you can get in the flow; relax; focus; improve your memory; increase your fitness and agility; balance your mind, body and emotions; and find new friends.
It is brilliant, and in our school, you find a friendly environment to learn it; there is no competition, and the students are kind to each other and like a good laugh. We teach in a way that everybody can learn it; taking the long forms apart and arranging the moves in short sequences, so that they can be practiced more easily. You do not have to remember all the moves to get health benefits. Practicing just a few moves will make a big difference for your health, balance, and stress release. You will also learn about the energy applications of Tai Chi - how you can use Tai Chi principles in your everyday life: That means, we explore the 'teaching' of each move for health, balance, mediation, and self-defence. |
Beginners 4-weeks Introduction courses
|
Beginners courses
There are several ways to get started with Tai Chi Chuan: We run short introduction courses three times a year, and you can also join i-between courses if you don't like to wait.
More info I would highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to take up Tai Chi. It allows you to forget about everything else for the duration of the class and I find I am more relaxed in mind and more energised in body afterwards - Thelma |
Ongoing classes
Mixed Ability Classes run every week (live in Ealing and/or on Zoom). Several of our students are in their Seventies or Eighties... so don't shy away if your hair has turned silver.
More info Andrea’s encouragement and pragmatic approach brings out the best in all of us. I can feel myself getting better each session, and since starting as a novice early last year, I now feel much more relaxed and flexible in both body and mind - Paul |
Private lessons
In person or per Zoom at a time that suits you. You can either work on the full Curriculum in regular sessions, or take a few custom-designed sessions to support your development or a life transition.
More info My private lessons per Zoom are a real 'pick-me-up', as I often attend after a hard day at work. After each lesson, I feel relaxed, stronger in my body, more peaceful and more optimistic about my problem-solving ability. I really need this now - Mike |
Nordic Walking
A full-body workout in nature.
|
Nordic Walking is great for your mental and physical wellbeing and fitness. It uses 90% of your muscles and it is gentle on your joints. Being outdoors all year round, rain or shine; this makes us feel happy and alive!

Andrea was an informative and patient instructor. Two hours went really quickly. I definitely recommend Nordic Walking to anyone wanting to try a new fun exercise that is great for your fitness - Emma |
Guided Group Walks: Fitness, friends and fun in nature
I really enjoy taking part in the walks. I discovered areas of Ealing I didn’t know existed, met some lovely new friends, and improved my fitness and well-being. It’s the ideal form of exercise for me as it is gentle on the body and yet I get a workout without being exhausted at the end. After a walk I feel relaxed and energised - Chiara |
Our guided group walks are targeted at different ability and fitness levels: Gentle, Active, and Dynamic. They provide a good workout, and allow you improve your technique and spend quality time with others. You must take our Foundation course before joining the walks.
Based on Covid 19 regulations, I currently limit the group size, therefore, you need to sign up for each walk. More info and schedule

Nature's Wisdom
Practical and inspiring walks and workshops
|
Wildflower Walks and moreCustom-designed walks for individuals, groups and families, where you can learn about the folklore and ancient uses of our common wildflowers, herbs and trees.
We also offer guided meditations in nature, and advice on medicine gardens and garden sanctuaries. More info |
Ethno-Botany: Plant WorkshopsOur workshops cover specific plants and their significance in human history; the folklore around them, and the modern and ancient use for practical, spiritual and healing purposes.
You will also learn how to meditate with a plant, connect directly to its essence, and sit with the plant to hear its stories. This may sound a bit strange, but this is how traditional herbalists and medicine women gained their knowledge about the healing gifts of a plant. More info: Mugwort workshop |

Drum Journeys 'Journeying' with the drum is a method of active meditation, where you access your essence - your True Self - by listening to the regular beat of the drum; this helps switch off your busy 'left brain' and work more with your intuition. This has been practiced by Native Americans and other first nation cultures for thousands of years. Some of their methods have been made available for contemporary use to access inner guidance, strength and self-healing power, whilst connecting to the ‘non-ordinary reality’.
Drum Journeying, even though it has ancient spiritual roots, is not linked to any religion; People of many faiths – or no religion at all - come to our drum journey workshops and Drum journey circle. |
Reiki - Treatments and TrainingReiki is a Japanese self-development, meditation and healing technique which you can use for yourself or with others. It has ancient roots and is related to Tai Chi, Chi Gong and similar energy healing systems. The core goal is to balance and re-vitalise your 'Universal Life energy"; which has many mental and physical health benefits. We offer:
* Reiki Treatments: an hour of stress release and deep healing * Reiki for Self Treatment: Private Lessons, teaching how to use Reiki on yourself and work with the core Reiki meditations * Training: Reiki Courses and access to our monthly Reiki Share Group |
Team Development
Inspiration and Team Spirit
We combine the best of Tai chi, Nordic walking, Meditation and Coaching - creating an inspiring, custom-designed experience for your team. Events can focus on fitness, fun and team spirit, or they can include modules about conflict resolution, effective communication and collaboration. The sessions can be stand-alone or added to a meeting or training seminar; this is great after a day of sitting down and 'thinking' together - get up and work with your 'physical intelligence'.
