Frequently asked questions
- How long does it take to learn?
It's like learning a language so frequency and consistency of attendance are beneficial and you continue to develop over years. - Is it worth doing for a short time?
Definitely. If you put a little bit in you get a little bit out - the more the better. But in the beginning being exposed to new ideas is very beneficial and interesting. - Can I drop in?
Not for most classes, including Tai Chi. Think of it like a language class - dropping in and out doesn't really work. A few classes are drop-in friendly though. - Can I get a qualification?
You don't complete your study - you revisit continuously and evolve constantly. It's a lot like practicing a piece of music. - What to wear?
Dress is casual. Generally quite loose clothing. Non-marking, flat shoes appreciated. I don't encourage or provide uniforms. - How fit must I be?
Self-care is very important in classes. You can work to your own fitness level. If an activity is not safe for you then we have plenty of work arounds. Making me aware of your limits and taking care of yourself in class is important. - Do you teach teachers?
Like all professional development it's expensive and intensive; I don't have time to train students to that level - it's a commitment to group classes, plus one-to-one training and a lot of self-practise.
- Do I need to complete a health questionnaire and disclaimer?
Yes - for insurance purposes and to make me aware of conditions and adjust my teaching accordingly.
