 The Ashburton Centre holds its classes at 10am on Saturday mornings at the Ashburton Primary School Hall, Fakenham Road, Ashburton. The Centre not only caters for students in the local community but also for students in the the wider community who may not able to attend an evening class for various reasons, and has students who come from the whole Melbourne area.
Anyone is invited to come and visit the Centre at any time and Beginner classes start every 7 weeks. This is a well-established Centre and students are not only being instructed in the Traditional 108 Movement Yang Style Tai Chi but also in a variety of Weapon routines. This is possible because the Centre has the following instructing staff: Senior Instructor Margaret Rogers, Instructor Noel Schmidt, Assistant Instructors Dianne Cummings and Anna Yeow, and Trainee Instructors Chee Wah Khew and Christine Dowdall.

Instructors Noel and Yvonne Schmidt |
|
|
|
 Yvonne started Tai Chi in 1993 at Mount Waverley – her aim being to find a little balance in life - after running a very busy take-away shop. In early 1994, she moved to the new Glen Iris Saturday (the forerunner of the Ashburton class) morning class that had just started up in Toorak Road. There she met Noel, who was also a founding member of this new Saturday morning class, and who was looking for a mix of some gentler exercise (after doing all the standard energetic physical sports when younger and was now starting to feel the effect of some injuries) and his desire to further explore some Eastern philosophies. However, for the next two years, they both lived in their own separate work and Tai Chi worlds.
