Zoom Classes

Golden Rooster

and other stepping forms

 

zoomm on Tuesdays 6pm - 7pm. 

The class is small, friendly and with a maximum of six or seven students.

You can learn the basics in a friendly environment, ask lots of questions and be corrected as you go along.

The practices will include standing and stepping forms (sequence of movements), so you will need a modicum of space in your zoom practice area.

A mixed level class, beginners welcome.

Eight Pieces of Brocade

a qi gong set

 

zoom on Fridays 3pm - 4pm. 

This is a larger class suited for those who have some basic knowledge, and who want to move on to more difficult practices, learning alignments, smooth and fluid movement, breathing, rooting, centering, mindfulness and so on.

This class is a standing Qi Gong class focussing on the famous set of practices called the 'Eight Pieces of Brocade'. One week we will go through the practice of the eight pieces, the next week we will look at one or a few of the pieces is some detail.

A mixed level class, beginners welcome.

What is a live zoom class?

Online live sessions are a great way to top up your practice, if you have a busy schedule, live far away from Oxford or if you can't leave the house.

Online live sessions follow a very similar method as real classes in a hall or leisure studio.  There is a warm up, an introduction to the practice, you will see how the practice is done, with explanations about various parts of it, and there will be time to actually practice with the instructor live and with other students attending the class.  You will have feedback of your practice.

You will be able to ask questions and make comments, and share with other students.  It's a great way to relax and to be inspired to do practice. 

Sometimes we will also cover the more philosophical aspect of the practice, which will help you deepen your understanding.

Tai Chi and Qi Gong are ultimately individual (I won't say lonely) practices, as you are working with your own self and your own body, but practicing in a group can be rewarding and encouraging.

Being online gives you the flexibility to attend a variety of classes during the week, and many students have found they can now attend more than one class a week.  Some of them are attending three or four classes every week, and are improving in leaps and bounds!

Subscription and access

At the moment, all regular online classes run on a monthly subscription, which is voluntary.  (This does not include workshops.)

For access to two classes a week, the subscription is £22 per month.

Payment can be via bank transfer or credit card payment.

The classes are run via zoom.  If you are not familiar with this, it is a very simple and reliable way to join a class, following a link from an email invitation.
