Science now recognises everything is energy. When energy is low or blocked within us internally, this leads to disease.

In China, powerful energy cultivation exercises (Qigong) and martial arts (Tai Chi) have developed over thousands of years, inspired through the observation of nature. Both have positive benefits for our health and wellbeing. Thankfully, Cheng Man Ch'ing (The Professor) began sharing these arts with the western world in 1964. An impressive, growing body of scientific research and personal testimonies around the world now help us to understand the importance these ancient arts can have for us all. 

NHS Networks state, tai chi and qigong "...are now being revealed as a major part of the solution to some of our most dangerous diseases – heart disease, diabetes and obesity, cancer, stroke, asthma and chronic lung disorders." 

"I love my Tai Chi lessons.  They are both energising and relaxing and a great way to start or end the day.  I highly recommend Lee's classes."

Presently, these classes are only available to adults.  They are aimed at beginners.  The register for the class is limited to 17 spaces, available on a first come, first served basis. 

When the instructor feels it appropriate to do so, the class register is closed until the beginning of a new term.

"A really good way to get energised and great teacher!"
