10.30am-12.30pm All Levels (£15 drop in)

​This weekend booster class is designed as a class for more experienced students or those who are keen to deepen their tai chi while sometimes jumping in the deep end. Whilst the overarching focus is the 108 long form, this can be taken in many directions - and often is. Taught through reference to partnerwork, other forms, qigong and anything else relevant, it is a way to deepen your understanding of not only the choreography and sequences, but the energies and attitudes that fill them with meaning.
