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

Thursday Evening 8:30 Class and Upcoming Lok Hup Workshop

Happy New Year, everyone!

Two scheduling announcements this time round.


Thursday Evening Classes, 8:30-9:30pm: Tai Chi and Qigong Foundation

I've decided to make a change to these classes for January and February 2020. This slot was initially intended as a place for people who want to study intermediate and advanced Tai Chi, but since there are no beginners ready to finish the set until March, it's been a bit of a tough sell. What I have been doing with this hour is teaching foundation techniques and exercises: focusing on the how of correct movement and alignment, which really is where Tai Chi—and Qigong, for that matter—get their unique qualities as a practice.

There's no reason why Qigong people can't benefit from these lessons, nor why people earlier in their Tai Chi practice can't come and learn as well. This class will still be a technique class, with exercises taken from both the Tai Chi and Qigong side of things. (Don't worry if you're unfamiliar with one of those areas--all the exercises will be explained during class.) We'll be spending part of the class on flow--precise content to be determined. For now, I'm dropping the Tai Chi prerequisite. The class will be open to all who are willing to dive in. If you can manage to leave the house in the dark winter evening, I'll guarantee a great, relaxing, and deep workout.


Lok Hup Workshop, Sunday, January 19, 2020
Location: Regent Centre
Time: 1-5pm
Fee: $60
Prerequisite: Some experience with Lok Hup Ba Fa

I've had some requests to return to the Lok Hup Ba Fa set for January's Sunday Workshop. Last season we spent some time working on the end of the Lok Hup set. This workshop will focus on polishing it from the beginning.
