Along with the choreography, Paul covers in-depth the sequence of the four primary energies (peng, ji, lu and an) which underpins and drives all tai chi forms.

Topics covered with the purpose of generating the deep connections in the body necessary to practise tai chi well are:

• Bend-and-Stretch Techniques — that which is responsible for generating an internal practice by breaking habitual tension responses in the muscle groups and re-training the nerves to use smooth, circular, relaxed motion.

• Open-and-Close Techniques — which are responsible for increasing the depth of internal practice and generate a soft, relaxed body and mind. “Pulsing” techniques, as they are also known, open the doorway to the realms of qi.

• The Four Primary Energies — peng, ji, lu and an which produce the flavour, quality and effectiveness of tai chi by separating and combining yin and yang energies.

• Deep Energetics to Bring Alive the Relevant Six Snakes — which serve to generate deeper connections and energetic flows within the body during tai chi practice. The Six Snakes are covered in-depth in his Taoist Neigong programme (Part 2).

“Wow I learnt so much! My tai chi teacher recommended you as somebody who would be phenomenal to learn from and I'm so glad I took his advice”.

Paul teaches the choreography of the First Section of the Yang Style Long Form (up to Cross Hands) as an efficient and effective Short Form and the Second Section of the Long Form (up to Cloud Hands) as a superb Medium Form for opening up, healing and regenerating the body.

Learn the Yang style in progressive stages as it suits your training needs. Start with either the Mini Form or the Short Form (which includes the Mini Form):

Modules 1-3:
Learn the Yang Style Mini Form — the first eight moves of the Yang Style Long Form. You can continue to module 4 of the Short Form if you catch the tai chi bug!

Modules 1-10: 
Learn the Yang Style Short Form for an immersion in a truly internal tai chi form, i.e. the Yang Style Tai Chi Long Form, First Section. 

Modules 11-20:
Learn the Yang Style Medium Form to develop the four primary energies of tai chi, i.e. the Yang Style Tai Chi Long Form, Second Section. 

Modules 21-24: 
Learn Tai Chi’s Opposition Openings and Closings to bring alive the yin neigong that manifest the essence of tai chi in body, mind and qi.

“I’m 78 and have had some difficult physical challenges in the past few years. Your teachings help me beyond measure. For me, you make complex, sometimes seemingly impossible, concepts accessible. Your calm, stable presence is always inspiring and supportive”.

Each module includes:

• 2 x 30-minute classes with step-by-step instructions
• 1 x follow-along practice

Follow along as Paul repeats the movements learned in the Yang style classes, so you can link postures into fluid forms.

Embedding the choreography deep within your body-mind is what generates the flow and rhythm of tai chi.
