At ToppForm we focus on teaching Tai Chi Easy™.  As the name implies, this is a collection of simple to learn, enjoyable techniques which are taught in a very accessible way, whilst being firmly rooted in traditional practice.

There are an estimated 10,000 forms of Qigong, and several hundred varieties of Tai Chi, which can make the martial art seem esoteric and somewhat intimidating.  Wanting to bring these powerful self-care methods within the reach of more people, the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi carefully reviewed many of the most prevalent and beneficial of these forms.  The result of this review, Tai Chi Easy, could therefore be described as a distillation of the “best bits” from these ancient practices.

Tai Chi Easy focuses on four essential methods:

• Postural alignment combined with gentle movement
• Breath awareness
• Relaxation practices
• Self-applied massage

It is an extremely useful practice for anyone who wants to take better care of themselves, but who perhaps does not have either the time or desire to learn a longer tai chi form.  Equally, it is an excellent introduction to tai chi for those who wish to study this art in more depth.

Currently ToppForm is the only provider of Tai Chi Easy in the UK.
