Tai Chi Classes in Lewes
Learn Tai Chi with clarity, structure and depth
Traditional Tai Chi taught progressively, with an emphasis on relaxation, balance, alignment and connected movement.
Whether you are completely new to Tai Chi or continuing your practice, classes provide a clear path for developing the form and the internal principles that bring it to life.
Beginners welcome — no previous experience needed.
What You’ll Learn Over Time
Tai Chi is learned progressively. Rather than trying to master everything at once, you build the form step by step while gradually developing the principles that underpin it.
As your practice develops, you’ll work with:
The Tai Chi form — learning the movements progressively and with increasing accuracy
Relaxation and release — reducing unnecessary muscular tension while maintaining structure
Balance and alignment — developing a more stable, centred and coordinated body
Connected movement — learning to move the body as an integrated whole
Weight transfer and grounding — becoming clearer about where your weight is and how it moves
Internal awareness — gradually developing sensitivity to the subtler principles within the form
There is no need to understand all of this before you begin. For beginners, the first task is simply to learn the movements and become comfortable with the basic principles. Depth develops naturally through continued practice.
What to Expect
Classes are friendly, focused and taught at a pace that allows you to learn without feeling rushed.
You’ll be guided through the movements step by step, with individual help where needed. As you become familiar with the sequence, we gradually refine posture, alignment, balance and the quality of your movement.
You don’t need to be fit, flexible or coordinated to begin. Just wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely.
Most importantly, there’s no pressure to “get it right” straight away. Tai Chi is a practice that develops over time.
A System Built on Experience, Not Performance
I teach the Yang-style 37-step form in the lineages of Cheng Man-Ching and Huang Sheng-Shyan, with an emphasis on ease, grounding and internal connection rather than external appearance.
Movements are introduced progressively so that you can begin to feel how your body responds, rather than simply copying shapes or trying to “get it right.”

A Clear Path for Your Tai Chi
Whether you are completely new to Tai Chi or have been practising for some time, classes are structured so that you can continue to develop at an appropriate level.
New to Tai Chi?
Beginners learn the form progressively, building familiarity with the movements while developing the foundations of relaxation, posture, balance and coordination.
You don’t need any previous experience. The beginners courses are designed to give you a clear starting point and a structured path forward.
Continuing Your Practice?
Once the basic form has been established, the emphasis gradually shifts towards greater accuracy, structural development and the internal principles of Tai Chi.
Continuing classes provide the opportunity to refine what you have learned and explore the practice in greater depth.
