Yang Style 8 Form/8 Movements

This gentle form emphasises relaxed, grounded stances, smooth weight-shifting, and mindful breath, helping you cultivate balance, coordination, and inner calm. Each movement is practised slowly and intentionally, allowing you to connect with your body, quiet the mind, and experience the meditative quality that Tai Chi is known for. It’s an ideal introduction for anyone curious about Tai Chi or looking to enrich their wellbeing through a graceful, restorative practice.
