“Staying fit yet supple in a safe and correct way helps you grow strong, helps your balance and flexibility, and helps boost your defenses to illness.”
Now, it’s more important than ever to maintain your fitness and stay supple while confined at home.
That’s why TMS has moved its 1-health Tai Chi course online!
I will continue to provide this expert training online, in real-time and with evening and morning sessions available, for as long as needed.
This course is for people who are genuinely interested in Tai Chi, Qigong and other oriental cultivation methods for the betterment of their health and wellbeing.
You can register on our website for the next session.
When you register for one or both of the 10-week course, I will email you a link so you can easily access the live training online when the course starts.
Registration for any of our courses opens two weeks before the course starts, and will close on the commencement date.
Once the course starts, there will be no further registrations, which means no one can join the class after it starts, and, because you will have committed to your spot in the course, no refunds can be given from this time.
Once registration closes, you can register your interest for the next available course.
Each Tai Chi session will run for 60 minutes. After each session, I will encourage you to continue your session for at least another 30 minutes so you gain maximum benefit and consolidate the movements you have learnt.
I also encourage you to dedicate 40–60 minutes to practicing each day because this can change your life.
Join us now for the next class and stay safe, stay strong, stay supple!
