Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese moving meditation which can help you unwind, relax, boost your energy and improve your focus. Our classes are suitable for beginners and more advanced students.
Focus
Tai Chi and Qigong can be incredibly helpful for you as a student, making it easier to handle the pressures of academic life while staying balanced and focused. These practices bring together the mind, body, and spirit, using gentle movements, deep breathing, and focused awareness. When you practice Tai Chi and Qigong, you’ll find that your ability to concentrate improves, allowing you to study for longer periods without feeling mentally exhausted. This sharper focus makes it easier to retain information and stay engaged with your coursework.
Relaxation
One of the greatest benefits you’ll experience is stress relief. University life can be intense, with assignments, exams, and deadlines piling up, but Tai Chi provides a way to release that tension. The slow, flowing movements help calm your mind and relax your body, making it easier for you to manage stress and stay emotionally balanced. With less stress, you’ll find yourself better equipped to handle the ups and downs of student life, keeping a more positive outlook even when things get tough.
Energy boost
Physically, Tai Chi and Qigong also improve your flexibility and balance. As you practice, you’ll loosen up tight muscles, increase your range of motion, and build resilience to the physical demands of everyday life. Plus, you’ll notice a boost in your energy levels, helping you feel more refreshed and ready to take on both your academic work and your social life without feeling drained.
Wellbeing

By doing so, you’ll enhance your focus, reduce stress, and maintain a more positive and balanced mindset. Ultimately, these practices will help you manage the demands of university life with more energy and ease, allowing you to thrive both academically and personally.
How does it work?
Everything you do depends on energy, the Chinese call this Qi (pronounced chee), it translates to vitality or life force. Energy comes in and energy goes out, we take it for granted, but just like charging your phone it's something we have control over. The core of Tai Chi training is a structured series of lessons on managing this energy and becoming aware of what you are doing to spend it, and how you can moderate this expenditure so you don't run the reservoir dry. This sounds very simple, but it's not really something we are taught in school. You can learn how to monitor your energy input and output so you always have plenty to spare in your energy bank. This all might seem bit weird but in actual fact it's not really something you have to learn, it's actually an in-built thing, and a dormant ability that everyone can tune in to and reap the benefits. People of all ages and all walks of life have been doing this for hundreds if not thousands of years, and millions of people practice it on a daily basis all over the world.
