The Tai Chi Yang Style Form
The Tai Chi form is a set number of precise moves, performed in sequence, which helps your chi to move freely around your body. This will enable you to become fitter, more balanced, more relaxed and feel invigorated as well.
We will teach you the basic building blocks so that you can learn the form quickly and properly.
