Zoom Classes

Beginners Class

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 pace suits the students, and once the basics are learned you can also join the improvers classes.

Improvers Classes

Wednesdays 10am - 11am

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, stepping, rooting, centering, mindfulness and so on. 

We will be looking at practices like Wild Goose Claw for the circulation, and Qi Conduction (from 8 pieces of brocade) for rooting, for example.

What is a live zoom class?

Online live sessions are a great way to top up your practice 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 live 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!

"I am a sufferer of Bi-Polar Disorder as well as unrelated PTSD/Anxiety: as part of this I have frequent panic attacks - I feel sudden high levels of anxiety and can’t breathe. 

"I’ve been doing Qi Gong for over a year now and have noticed a dramatic reduction in my attacks as well as other symptoms of my disorders.  The tuition I have received has improved my self-confidence and worth a lot, and I would definitely recommend Isabelle’s tuition to anyone who wants to keep fit, both mentally and physically".
