There are regular half day or full day Chi Kung workshops every month (usually on the second Saturday where we look at the five element theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine using various static/moving meditations and exercises to open and relax the joints and muscles of the body to allow greater energy flow through the meridians.
There are also 4 week introduction courses to introduce you to Tai Chi and Chi Kung as well as 10 week beginner courses for Yang style Tai Chi.
If you would like more information or to book on one of the above follow the links in the 'book classes' page.
All classes are run from a dedicated, full-time studio in North East Essex.
The Balanced Path At The Tai Chi Studio offers the highest level of tuition in both Yang Style Tai Chi and 5 Element Chi Kung.
5 Element Chi Kung works on the principles and concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine, using static/moving exercises and meditations to relax the joints/muscles of the body to allow greater energy flow and body awareness - initial benefits can include improvement in posture, balance and breathing but goes on to offer much more.
It is advised that if you are a complete beginner to Tai Chi, then you begin with a course of 5 Element Chi Kung to understand moving from the centre and the shifting of the weight - it really helps when you go on to learn the movements of the Tai Chi form.
Beginners in Tai Chi start with learning short form and relaxation exercises.
Intermediates go on to learn the Long 108 Step Yang form and Push Hands.
Advanced go on to learn applications of the movements, understanding the yin yang and spiralling aspects of the form, Advanced Push Hand, Da Lu (big roll back) and sword forms.
I have studied Tai Chi/Chi Kung for over 30 years now and love passing my knowledge on to others. The original Tai Chi Studio was opened in Wivenhoe in 2002; however classes are now run from a purpose-built studio in Little Bentley, Essex. On site parking is provided.
Classes are small and informal, where everyone progresses at their own pace.
Gift vouchers available: You can buy a gift voucher as a Christmas or birthday present, or for any other special occasion. The vouchers come either as a single private lesson, a four-week course, or a Saturday workshop - £40.

"At a time in my life where I had a new job and was managing a difficult separation, I needed some time for me. I stumbled upon Dave, and Chi Kung (something that I had not even heard of). I attended a Saturday workshop, and have not looked back since (three years and counting...). I'm delighted to be exercising my body while simultaneously attending to my emotional needs. The studio is perfect, peaceful and warm in winter, with birdsong to be heard in the summer."

"Dave really knows what he is talking about, and I always feel better after each class. Tai Chi is brilliant for body awareness, and Xi Gong is very relaxing."
