Learn tai chi and qi gong in a small, friendly group at our West London clinic, directly on the District line from central London. Classes are £15, beginners can join any week, and every movement has a seated option.
Some tai chi classes in London are large community sessions in halls and leisure centres. That suits some people, but beginners often leave unsure whether their knees, hips and back are in the right place. Our groups are kept small, so your teacher can walk round, correct your stance and adapt movements to you.
Every class combines qi gong and Wu-style tai chi. You start with slow breathing and warm-up movements, then learn tai chi step by step, so you leave with something you can practise at home from the first week. Read more about tai chi or qi gong for beginners.
Classes are held inside a health clinic, alongside physiotherapy, acupuncture and balance assessment. If pain or dizziness is holding you back, the right help is in the same building.

Choose the class that fits your week and come as often as you like. Many people start with one class a week and add a second once the movements feel familiar.

Classes last an hour and move at a gentle pace. You will not be out of breath, but your legs will have worked.
Wear loose clothing and flat shoes. No equipment is needed. Read what happens in a tai chi class for more detail.
