Tai Chi Chuan
For health, fitness and fun.


Tai Chi Chuan has many mental and physical health benefits: you will release stress; improve your focus, memory and agility; balance your mind, body and emotions;  and find new friends.
​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. 
You will also learn about the energy applications of Tai Chi - how you can use the mental principles of this ancient Martial art in your everyday life to be more mindful. 
We train in a focused, friendly atmosphere, without any competitive undertones. Everybody develops at their own speed, and students help each other.  Don't worry if you have never done Tai Chi or start it late in life; we are experienced teachers for older students.

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

Picture

​
More info
"My private lessons per Zoom are a real 'pick-me-up', especially after a hard day at work. After each lesson, I feel relaxed, stronger, more peaceful and more optimistic about my problem-solving ability at work. I really need this now". Mike

Nordic Walking
A full-body workout in nature.


Nordic Walking is the summer version of cross-country skiing, invented by the Finnish Olympic team. It is a full-body workout, as it uses 90% of your muscles - while being gentle on your joints.
It is great for your mental and physical wellbeing, heart health, weight loss and fitness. Being outdoors all year round, rain or shine and in a great group of people, makes you feel happy and fully alive!
Foundation Course
​(2-hour course, West London)
9 May, 30 May, 13 June, 27 June,  4 July 2026
This course can also be delivered to groups, such as corporate teams, sports clubs or walking groups - at a time that suits you. 

Nordic Walking Courses

Picture
Our 2-hours Foundation Course gets you walking with fitness poles and enables you to join our group walks. After some practice, you then take the Optimizer course.

Nordic Walking Private Lessons

Picture
Private lessons and walks can cover regular Nordic Walking for fitness goals, or address specific health issues and rehab needs. Excellent before and after surgery.

Learn Pole Walking for Safety & Mobility

Picture
For those who plan a mountain trip. Or for people with limited mobility or anxiety on slippery grounds; walking with poles, instead of a walking stick, is healthier and safer. ​

"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

Picture

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
