Tai chi: graceful, harmonious and connected movement.

This retreat will concentrate on principles to ensure that your understanding of taiji is authentic and useful. The Wu style taiji short form will provide the basic canvas. Learning the complete form and all the movements may take two retreats or more. Tao yoga standing postures will enhance your understanding of the moving form while meditation during the form, while standing in tao yoga postures and while sitting will point out the supreme mind state in which to learn and practice taiji. The short video above shows the complete form, accompanied by sunrise!

Tai chi: a principle and a form.

Everyone can learn and practice tai chi. Ram’s expertise comes from having learnt the form with Master B.K. Frantzis, a world renowned tai chi master. Ram has been teaching and practicing tai chi since 1991 and has integrated the principles of tao with his vast experience of hatha yoga, qigong and meditation. A retreat suitable for anyone who wishes to move more fluidly, to be more relaxed while increasing available energy.
