Micro Tai Chi
2–10 minute practices linked to principles taught in the main curriculum: structure, Song, empty and full, stepping, coordination, breath and more.
Supporting Practice
Breathing, relaxation, ankle circles, foot awareness, gentle mobility and other practices that support movement and awareness. We label these honestly rather than pretending every useful exercise is a Tai Chi form movement.
Everyday Tai Chi
Before getting out of bed, while seated, waiting for transport, walking outside, standing at the kettle or preparing for sleep: notice and practise principles in real life.
The whole matters. Isolated practices are not the destination. Each practice should reconnect body, mind, breath, intention and — where appropriate — traditional ideas such as Qi to increasingly integrated Tai Chi.
