Tai Chi at the Langham Hotel Melbourne

Celestial Tai Chi at the Langham Hotel - The Chuan SpaRecently the College was asked to perform Tai Chi at the official opening of the Chuan Spa at the Langham Hotel Melbourne. The Chuan Spa provides services "founded on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine", thus Tai Chi was the perfect accompaniment.

Eight instructors, including Master Chin Min, entertained guests for nearly two hours with Tao Yin, Shibashi, Lotus, Lohan and selected Tai Chi  and weapon forms. The evening was thoroughly enjoyable, if a little chilly, and was topped off nicely with a glass of bubbly and some  Asian-inspired canapes.

The Reward of the Challenge
Celestial Tai Chi sword - Neptune Searching the Sea
Neptune Searching the Sea
Two and a half years ago my friend Maureen and I decided to give Tai Chi a go. We headed off to the Mulgrave Centre on Thursday night and recieved a very warm welcome from Instructor Yan Ding and her dedicated Assistant Instructor, Stephen Petzold.

After one lesson we were hooked, but had to wonder if we would ever learn after the first moves of that lesson. We diligently progressed through levels 1 and 2,struggled through 3 and 4 and then it seemed to get a little easier through levels 5 and 6.

Since 2001, my Monday mornings have been spent at the Box Hill Centre with Senior Instructor Beng Yan, learning Yang Style Tai Chi Levels 1 to 6, Fan, Sword, Flute, Beijing 24 and 42 and any other delight she has to offer. My fitness, balance and wellbeing have been the beneficiaries and, at 60, I believe Tai Chi has helped me to keep me very fit for my age.
