The Auckland Tai Chi Studio provides group or individual classes instructed by Rob Lindsay who has been practicing Tai Chi since 1978 and teaching since 1985.
A class begins with a set of five loosening exercises that help to develop balance, flexibility and mental concentration.
This is followed by the practice of the 'short form', (Cheng Man Ch'ings 37 Posture Yang Form), a sequence of postures linked together to create one graceful movement lasting about twenty minutes. It usually takes a beginning student about 9 months to learn this form.
If students are keen to further their study there are also other more advanced forms taught. This includes 108 posture 'Long Form'.
