The Moonee Ponds Centre is well established, with classes held on Thursday evenings (6.30pm) and Wednesday mornings (9.30am) at the Maribyrnong Park Bowls Club, Holmes Road, Moonee Ponds. All levels are catered for, with Beginner classes starting every 7 weeks. There are dedicated Instructors for every Tai Chi level being taught at the Centre. 

The Instructors and teaching assistants at the Centre are very experienced and their enjoyment and passion of Tai Chi is reflected in their teaching. Senior Instructor Margaret (Margie) Brett runs the centre with a very experienced teaching team comprised of Instructors Liz Moloney & Wayne Bradborn and Assistant Instructors Doreen Giannini & Dave Brogden and Trainee Instructors Genevieve Gleeson & Michelle Dudman. The proficiency and professionalism of the training staff is enhanced by regular participation in training sessions run by the College Masters. Each of the instructing staff is inspirational with their enthusiasm, knowledge, participation and advocacy for the benefits of Tai Chi to health and well-being. 

The students and Instructing staff are central to making the Moonee Ponds centre such a welcoming place for both current and new students. There is a diverse mix of ages and backgrounds but common to all are the benefits that practicing this gentle exercise brings to their lives.

The Werribee Celestial Tai Chi Centre has been teaching the gentle art of Tai Chi for the past eight years.  Our classes are held on Thursday evenings at 7 pm at the Kelly Park Centre, alongside the Werribee RSL on Synott St.  The centre is spacious, warm in winter and comfortable in the summer months, making it an ideal all year round venue for learning Tai Chi.

Our Instructor John Sindoni co-ordinates our classes with support from his committed team of Trainee Instructors; Marie, James, Frances, Rita, Graham and Edwina.  The team are very committed to the principles and philosophy of Tai Chi, which promotes relaxation, well-being, fitness and helps create a sense of community.  Together the group represents almost fifty years of Tai Chi practice and all are very passionate about sharing and passing on their knowledge to all interested in learning.

Our centre offers Yang style Tai Chi, including 6 Beginners Classes per year, Intermediate and Advanced levels, Flute, Qi Gong routines, Bejing 24 and revision classes.

The Werribee Centre is also involved in local community events such as Weerama, Active in April and end of term outdoor sessions at the local Piazza in Watton Street.

We believe that the body responds to what you do with it and that participating in Yang style Tai Chi is a wonderful way to promote well being and good health.

The Box Hill Centre was established in 1990 at St Peter's Anglican Church Hall, Box Hill and is one of the founding Centres of the Celestial Tai Chi College of Australia, and since then it has grown into a strong, reputable and popular Centre.

The students have always been at the heart of the Centre, and are of all ages and culturally diverse backgrounds, from all walks-of-life, keen to learn the skill of Tai Chi and enhance their health, or engage in deeper understanding and practice of soft marshal arts. Many of those who joined years ago are still loyal and keen practitioners, enjoying the benefits of gentle exercise and its insightful philosophies. They often share with us their unique experiences and stories of how Tai Chi practice and thought have touched and transformed their life.
