Workshops 10th-12th February

Mark has confirmed the workshop themes, dates and times as follows:

Friday 10th Feb: Ta Lu for beginners and revision. Learn or revise the the right side of the Ta Lu, (an interlocking partner form which translates as 'big roll-back'). All who have at least a term's T'ai Chi experience with me are very welcome to attend. Also welcome are those who have studied for a year elsewhere or who practise a different style or martial art. 7-10pm £10 /£8

Saturday 11th Feb: An Introduction to T'ai Chi at Mclymont Hall, 43 Holburn St. Aberdeen, 1-6pm. All are welcome, absolute beginners as well as those who want to revise the basic principles of T'ai Chi and spend a day relaxing, softening and listening. There will be demonstrations, solo and partnerwork and an introduction to the warm-up set or Chi Kung. Bring a packed lunch or snack for the break and there will be tea and refreshments provided. Wear loose comfortable clothing and soft shoes. No previous experience of T'ai Chi is needed. £15 / £10 (concs) in advance, £18/ £13 on the day.

Sunday 12th Feb: 1-5pm Study Day for all my students. If you have studied with me for a term or more you are welcome to this day with Mark where we will look a little deeper at solo form and aspects of partner work. If more than 12 wish to come, I will hire the lovely warm hall in my village, Forgue, so let me know as soon as you can if you wish to come. £15/10.
7-10pm: Ta Lu - Left Side and Changes. We will reconvene at the hall or my home to look at the left side (or mirror image) of the Ta Lu form as well as some of the changes. This is open to all who have done a Ta Lu workshop with Mark. £10 / £8

If you would like to go to both of these Sunday workshops, feel free to come to my house for a bite to eat between sessions. Perhaps we could all bring a dish to share.

March T'ai Chi Retreat Workshop will now be at my home not at Newbold House: £175 tuition fees are for Mark, and there will be dinner, and refreshments every day here for £5 per day. More details will be on a separate posting later. There may be possible 1-2-1s on Friday 3rd, Sat11th, Sunday 12th and Monday 13th. Let me know if you are interested and I will check with Mark. Alternatively, take the week off work and come here with us!
