Our new season begins in October 2023! Join us for Tai Chi and Qigong at the Regent Centre on Locke Street South.

2019 Easter Weekend, Beginner's Classes, and May Schedule

I hope everyone is enjoying the heck out of spring! Some information on what's going on at the Regent Centre:

Easter Weekend Classes

There will be NO classes on Good Friday, April 19, 2019. 

Classes on Saturday, April 20 and Monday, April 22 will run as usual. 

The Spiritual Development workshop will run as planned on Sunday, April 21st, 1-4pm. (If you haven't already let me know you plan to attend that workshop, please do!)


Beginner's Classes

The new round of beginner's classes that Gillianne and I tried to launch at the beginning of April seem to have gone by the wayside. We blame the construction on Locke Street! We know it makes it very difficult for people to access the Centre. For now, we're putting new beginner's classes on hold. The Saturday class (2-3pm) and the Wednesday class (2:00-3:15) will both be open practice sessions for anyone who wants to attend. For the past week or so, that has meant intermediate Tai Chi training. Please come by for lessons that will meet you at your level! 

Brand new beginner's classes will be on indefinite hold, until the parking situation on Locke Street gets a little bit more reasonable.


May Workshop

By request, the topic of the May 5, 2019 workshop will be Lok Hup Ba Fa. More information:

Lok Hup Ba Fa Workshop
Date: Sunday, May 5, 2019
Time: 1-5pm
Cost: $60
Location: Regent Health Centre, 150 Locke St. South
Prerequisite: Previous training in Lok Hup Ba Fa



Please contact me to let me know you'd like to attend: smithmk2@gmail.com, (905) 521-0043, or in person.

This workshop will focus on polishing, refining, and smoothing out the lumps from our Lok Hup Ba Fa practice. If you've studied Lok Hup before, whether with me at the Regent Centre or elsewhere, this is your opportunity to revisit and reconnect with this challenging and invigorating set! 


May Class Cancellations

I will be out of town and there will be no classes on Friday, May 10, Saturday, May 11, and Monday, May 13, 2019. 


Construction Info

As of now, it looks like the construction on Locke Street will be ongoing into the fall. The Centre has received a heads up that there may be a day or two in the future where, due to the sidewalk replacement out front, the building might not be accessible. We might not know until the same day when this is going to happen. I can inform you by placing a notice on the website at taichionlocke.blogspot.com, but that won't be timely, since these posts take a few hours to end up in your email inbox. I'm compiling an email list of your addresses if you want me to keep you updated directly with regard to any construction news. Email me at smithmk2@gmail.com and ask that your name be added to the list! 

NOTE: If you've received this post by email, and you want to respond to it, please don't hit reply! Your message will go into the void. Make sure my address: smithmk2@gmail.com is in the "To" field, or start a new message to that address if you need to write to me. Thanks!
