The best introduction in this island, no mystery in the mastery. Jan explains the physiology behind the moves, no mysticism here. Broken bodies, tired minds, contorted spines. All can be helped with his humourous teaching style.

Ideal for the retired or shift workers, this course will be led by Jan, with his customary focus on the basics of posture, breathing and strength, three areas that he finds are lacking or poor in most new students. If you want to move gracefully in tai chi, you need power and balance. That starts in the legs and spine. No experience needed, no age restriction. Text, email or call Jan to book.

Qi Gong means “Energy work” But many people think that means going straight to esoteric breathing and visualisations, as per many silly online videos and Hollywood movies. We start with the fact that you have a body, in perhaps poor shape, with poor posture, with poor circulation. You need to get this working first. The pipes need good infrastructure. That means strong legs, strong back, full range of motion for joints, powerful diaphragm. Subtle energies automatically arise when the base is strong. Learn the fruit of 3 decades of searching from Jan, who teaches mastery without mystery,
