The wonderful thing about attending this retreat is that the combination of the peaceful setting, shared practice and spacious time invites us all to slow down and tune into our own experience.

About Tai Chi and Chi Gong

Tai Chi and Chi Gong are ancient forms of Chinese exercise which have been practised for hundreds of years. The soft yet strong, flowing movements, combined with meditative breathing & mind focus, help to develop a deep sense of connection within our bodies and minds. Through regular practice, this can develop a strong and flexible body and a calm and quiet mind.

Learning Tai Chi with Sophie will enable you to benefit from the teachings from the Chen family. Chen style is the oldest form of Tai Chi ever practised. It uses explosive movements as well as the soft and flowing type which gives it, as a practice, tremendous potential to develop and evolve one's body and mind as a Tai Chi practitioner.
