Introduction to Qi

Welcome to Spirit of Tai Chi

 I am an accredited Tai Chi Wellness instructor (Australia Tai Chi Institute), professional writer, wellness advisor & published author. 


Classes are fun, lively and life affirming.  I infuse each session with mindfulness, including simple ways we may encourage our mental, spiritual and emotional wellbeing in each moment. 


Tai chi and Qigong are superb practices for fostering an innate sense of wholeness both internally and externally. They promote social activity and deep healing as we work together in a group setting. 


There is no fitness level required. We always work to the physical capacity of the individual with the ultimate aim of becoming one with our own, innate, natural rhythm. 


My courses have been specifically designed to be invigorating, stimulating, relaxing and fun. We practice outdoors with the understanding that we are an integral part of the universe. We receive a sense of the natural pulse of our environment, learning to attune ourselves through presence.  


Qigong especially, delivers immediate results. Whatever we nourish internally, we encourage to thrive externally. Why not offer yourself the best of what you have?

How does it work?

Your energy is your superpower! You've got to flex that muscle consciously in order to grow it. 

Whatever you consider creates who you are and what you do. As you learn to tune into your inner self, you heighten all your other senses. This is calm alertness.

What to expect

 A healthy body fosters a healthy mind. These simple, yet highly effective postures, promote increased cognitive function and improve memory. With a tai chi  or Qigong workout, your energy pathways are opened, your internal organs start to work harmoniously as they are cleansed and your mind and body begin to perform in unison. This is truly a workout for your entire being. Whatever we cultivate internally manifests outwardly. There's no sense in toning your physical structure while neglecting your health. 


These simple but effective practices aid in balance, may assist in the building of confidence, the harmoinsing of emotions, increased energy and mental alertness. They foster a sense of belonging and vitality in a fun, informative setting. 


Our brain is positively affected by the three components of Qi practice - mental focus, body
movement and breath. The mind focuses to help us with memory, literally creating new neural pathways in the brain. The body movements, coupled with deep breathing, help the energy flow through unrestricted. This aids in the restoration of internal equilibrium, healthy organ function and increased energy.
