Monthly Form Class (37 Form)

Starting in 2021, held on the last Sunday of each month.
 
A 2-hour online workshop for current regular students who wish to progress through the 37 form. 
 
Students will ideally have memorised the previous form sections, before progressing through each new section of the form. Class recordings will be provided for home practice of each new section.
 
These classes will be interactive with feedback and form correction elements. Students should ideally be as visible as possible on screen (a wide angle lens clip can help if your phone / laptop does not have a wide lens).
 
Cost: £10 / £8 low income 
 
Next Class: Sunday 30th May 2021, 10:00am to 12noon

What to bring to class

Tai Chi & Qigong can be practised in any comfortable clothing that you can move freely in, with or without shoes. Flat shoes are generally better, as they help you feel the connection with the ground. You may want to have some water to drink during breaks.
