Practising the Lishi Taoist Arts affects positive change in people’s lives for an improvement in physical, mental, emotional health and spiritual well-being. Traditionally the Lishi system of Health & Fitness Arts has always been an integrated blend of Tai Chi Forms, Chinese Taoist Yoga, Qigong, Standing and Moving Meditation, Tai Chi Staff and Sword, and Soft Style Self-defence. Through a series of ancient exercises that have stood the test of time, you will work on your breathing, mobility, suppleness, strength and balance in a fun environment, leaving you feeling relaxed, yet invigorated. Lishi develops your self-awareness, well-being, self confidence, physical fitness, relieves stress and is exhilarating fun. The principles of the Lishi Arts are very effective. Step-by-step you will gain greater coordination and confidence by working on your own and with a partner, testing what you are learning in a supportive, nurturing environment. If you are the kind of person that wants an activity that gives you tools to start navigating your way through life more effectively – Lishi is for you.

By applying these principles we test ourselves and the principles of combat, allowing us to take responsibility for our own development and express ourselves through martial arts.

It is up to you to step through that door.

lee t'ai chi chuan

T'ai Chi is meditation in movement...and a whole lot more. When you see the Tai Chi hand form practiced it looks like a series of slow, graceful movements which are relaxing to watch and perform. T'ai Chi is more than this however. T'ai Chi has three main aspects - it is a physical exercise, a meditative experience and hidden within this, an art of self defence. T'ai Chi Ch'uan translates as 'Supreme Ultimate Fist' and over time we learn that to be relaxed is to be in control of our body, emotions and mental acuity.

anne-claire nusillard

Anne-Claire has practised Tai Chi following the Art of Chi School (L’Art du Chi – Vlady Stevanovitch method) for many years with Laurent Haquin in Edinburgh and various teachers from the school in France. This method is rooted in the ancient Chinese arts of Tai Chi Chuan and Qi Gong. Through gentle exercises, it improves our posture, stability and mobility. The slow pace, gentle breathing techniques and sustained attention we give to our movements helps us experience and develop an inner sense of calm, balance and focus, which are of so much help in our daily life.

jane hamilton pilates

Over the last 12 years, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed teaching Pilates to many people of all ages and abilities, and with varying muscle and joint problems, back issues and health conditions. I started my complementary healthcare training 19 years ago, qualifying in 2002 with a diploma from the London School of Sports Massage. I returned to my home city of Edinburgh that year, successfully building up a client base and running the complementary healthcare clinic Happy Being for 12 years in the west end, until 2020. Back in 2009, I decided to train as a Pilates teacher and qualified with a certificate in mat Pilates teaching Level 3 CYQ (Central YMCA Qualifications). This came from a desire to help my massage clients develop the tools to care for their own bodies rather than relying on regular massage treatments and doing their own exercises between sessions with varying results. The two disciplines successfully ran side by side, with many people coming to the clinic for both massage treatments and Pilates classes. In 2016 I developed my physiological and anatomical knowledge and practical skills further by achieving an advanced remedial massage diploma from the Scottish School of Sports Massage. I apply the knowledge I gained through this training to my Pilates teaching, drawing on a deeper understanding of the human body and how it works. I am constantly developing ideas, combining my vision with a structured modern approach. I’ve worked with many clients with varying levels of fitness and health conditions, from athletes to those with chronic fatigue syndrome CFS/ ME. I start with the 8 fundamental principles of the Pilates Method and the many Pilates movements to bring about new ideas. These are often from varying disciplines which I’ve studied and practised over the years such as Qigong, Tai Chi and even meditation with breath work. Many of the balance, warm-up stretches and cool-down movements in the classes are Qigong-based.
