Our Tai Chi school based in and around Southampton specialises in gentle, health-focused practice, with particular emphasis on the Cheng Man-ch’ing (Yang style) form and the Shibashi (18 Movements) Qigong set. Classes are designed to support balance, mobility, coordination, and relaxation, making them especially suitable for older adults and those looking for safe, low-impact exercise.
The head instructor, Gareth Siu, has extensive experience teaching Tai Chi to seniors and people with varying levels of mobility. Instruction is clear, patient, and adaptable, with movements taught in a way that supports joint health, posture, breathing, and confidence in everyday movement.
Sessions are welcoming and unhurried, with a strong emphasis on wellbeing rather than performance. Tai Chi is taught as a practical tool for maintaining independence, reducing tension, and improving overall quality of life.
