Tai Chi and Qigong

We have developed a suite of Tai Chi Shibashi and Qigong instructors’ courses certificated by Open College Network (OCN). Over the past three years we have trained up instructors to provide classes in residential homes, care homes, leisure centres and for the NHS as part of Cardiac Rehabilitation and Drug Rehabilitation programmes. As an approved Register of Exercise Professionals training provider, we offer Tai Chi courses and workshops for continuing professional development (CPD). Many of our courses are also endorsed by internationally renown Master Jessie Tsao.

What the learners say:

 

“This course has given me a real sense of achievement. I have found the assignments of interest and the workshops helpful…..the tutors are always on hand in some way if you need a little encouragement or help. Gaining this qualification, for me has been well worthwhile.”    

 

 

"I would recommend this course to any practitioner of Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi who wishes to share their practice with others. Students of this course should be confident in the knowledge that they have achieved a reputable and nationally recognised qualification, worthy of facilitating the practice of Shibashi/ Tai Chi for Health."
