Testimonial "Personal online Tai Chi lessons with Alex Swainson are improving my mobility, my posture and my thinking. &nbsp;I&#39;ve been having the lessons each week for nearly a year. &nbsp;In spite of me having learnt Tai Chi about 20 years ago, Alex has reintroduced me to the underlying principles and practice. &nbsp;He is a thoughtful teacher, sharing the knowledge from his personal research into the movement and balance of the human body and mind. &nbsp;He puts a strong emphasis on using the natural force of gravity to move in the easiest, most effective and most powerful way. I find it combats the mobility problems associated with ageing. &nbsp;His teaching is supportive and informative, feeding back on the way I move as I go through the Tai Chi form, picking up on the problems that he sees and working on how to overcome them. He is a mine of information on the way the human body works in terms of its posture, spine positions and movements, the movement of joints and the working of the nervous system. &nbsp; Through the 1 to 1 online relationship, Alex demonstrates the application of the principles he has learnt and developed, both in demonstrating the Tai Chi form but also in the movements that are necessary not just for good Tai Chi, but for use and application in our everyday lives. &nbsp; Alex makes a recording of each lesson which he sends to me to help with my practice during the time between lessons. &nbsp; Learning online can sometimes be more difficult in explaining movements or postures compared to face to face learning, where the teacher can make physical interventions to show what&#39;s needed. &nbsp;However, the recordings are invaluable for seeing things again, watching myself in action, picking up things that Alex has said that I&#39;d missed the significance of in the session itself. &nbsp; Watching myself performing the Tai Chi form is often a revelation of the difference between what I think I&#39;m doing and what I&#39;m actually doing!I am getting a great deal out of the learning sessions. &nbsp;I have met a number of Tai Chi teachers and in my experience Alex is as principled, thoughtful and capable as a teacher as any that I have met. &nbsp;And I have worked with some good ones. &nbsp;The lessons are challenging, no doubt about it. &nbsp;But Alex takes care to work at my pace and is very clear that the learning I do for myself is the key to the development of my understanding and the improvement of my practice. &nbsp;Being able to move well in older age is a thing to treasure and nurture and in this Alex is helping me enjoy my later life."Offer DescriptionLearn Tai Chi at your own pace with expert guidance. Alex is a highly experienced teacher with deep knowledge of the art, making him ideally suited to one-to-one teaching.Standing 60-minute slots are available on TUESDAYS ONLY.2024 Special Offer:&nbsp; FREE 45-minute taster sessions are now available, also on Tuesdays.Subsequent sessions are available to purchase in blocks of 1, 3 or 6 months, which includes video recordings of each session as an essential reference for practice.&nbsp;N.B. This offer is for people who want to seriously invest in their own self-healing.
