My way of approaching and practicing Tai Chi is to move into the great stillness. I try to practice Tai Chi in a state of heightened awareness. This is achieved by “moving into awareness”. The Tai Chi movements have an effortless way of transforming our internal awareness into a more heightened level of stillness, oneness and Great Peace.

To be in heightened awareness while practicing Tai Chi is very pleasurable and enjoyable. A transformational experience.

Making this process effortless and Simple is achieved by following the gentle system I have created. I have removed the complex and complicated and filled that with more joy and simplicity.

Beginner Tai Chi should be about continuity. I believe in making things as simple as possible so anyone can benefit from Tai Chi. Beginner classes should be easy, manageable and delivering the full experience of relaxation in movement.

Although my system begins with simplicity, one will eventually have to take a bit of time out to practice alone. If I’ve done my job right, this should be an effortless and enjoyable process anyway. The Forms are designed for following, however, the peak essence can only be experienced when one has learnt the sequence by heart.
