What could be better?

Tai Chi & QiGong

I don't know if you have noticed that people who do Tai Chi seem to stand straighter yet more relaxed, move more easily with a kind of fluid grace? Have you wondered why, and how? Well, Tai Chi combines fitness, flexibility, and effective ways to manage stress while at the same time giving a fantastic energy boost!

Taoists consider Tai Chi as one of the highest forms of Moving Meditation, harmonising Yang and Yin, and Qigong as Standing Meditation, for grounding and rooting. Together they combine fitness, flexibility, and effective ways to manage stress while at the same time giving a fantastic energy boost!

Now you can have this too when you come on by to combine Moving Meditations for Fitness + Flexibility, Build Confidence, Recapture Lost Energy, Turn Stress Into Vitality, Inner Strength for Inner Peace!

13 Movements, 9 Directions, 5 Elements, 3 Treasures, Yin and Yang, to become one of those Tai Chi practitioners people watch in the park, wishing they too could learn the slow, graceful form, and win the benefits!
Free Instructor Videos for the movements and also for the Qigong warm up. Also an Audio Download you can get to guide you while you do the form. More about these when you scroll all way down.

We practice a short (13-Movement, 4 Directions, Yin and Yang) Yang Family form evolved from Grandmaster Mantak Chia's Tai Chi Qigong and the Push-Hands from Master Lim of Penang, student from one of greatest Tai Chi Masters from the last century, Cheng Man Ching.
Kris Deva North feels honoured to be part of this lineage and deeply grateful to his teachers. And of course to his students too, for the opportunity of sharing this Martial Art, Tai Chi, which literally means "Supreme Ultimate Force"; a way of living.

Kris Deva North inspiration to learn: My Tai Chi Journey

Everybody knows Tai Chi is good for you. And when Harvard Medical School, Reuters, and even the Wall Street Journal start talking about the benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong, then isn't it time to sit up and take notice? Or, better, stand up and get going!

Start by watching the first video below: Tai Chi By Numbers Part 1: it will cost you less than four minutes, and no money!

Copy those first simple movements: you will see how easy they are...

You can, in your own time, at your own pace, you can progress through each video, adding another set of two or three movements, following the demo, hearing the explanation, building your confidence, feeling the benefits.

You may be surprised how soon you are ready to put the moves together. In the "Learn Tai Chi Today Audio mp3 TAI CHI FORM", Kris Deva North (that's me in the videos below) talks you through the sequence, step by step.

Soon you could be one of those Tai Chi practitioners people watch in the park, wishing they too could learn the slow, graceful form, and win the benefits. Now they can, and so can you.

What are these benefits?
Well, apart from what we in the Tao have known for millenia - stress relief, harmony with yourself and your environment, power to defend yourself, and a sense of deep inner peace - a Harvard Study confirms benefits to Muscle Strength, Flexibility, Balance, Aerobic Conditioning...and "...appears to be helpful for several medical conditions..." read Harvard Study

Reuters report: "Research studies have found that (Tai Chi) practice increased mineral bone density, boosted endurance, strengthened the lower body, and eased depression." read Reuters Report

Wall Street Journal "Qi can't be measured objectively, says Shin Lin, a professor of cell biology at the University of California, Irvine. But his studies of qigong and tai chi practitioners have found a boost both in alpha brain waves, suggesting relaxation, and beta waves, indicating strong focus. "It has the dual benefit of relaxing you, but also sharpening your mind," says Dr. Lin. Read on
- or just get going!

Practise with the "Audio mp3 TAI CHI FORM", you can play on your ipod or smartphone while doing the form. The Audio joins up all the moves and structures in these videos, in sequence, step by step, and costs less than half the price of a single class!. Videos are free.
Tai Chi can be practised at any age, for health, to enhance our protective energy-field, to strengthen our physical and energetic immune system, to connect with higher and lower forces on the spiritual path, for self-defence, or simply to harmonise with our environment and alleviate the effects of stress.

In the double-helix spirals of Tai Chi we reunite the Yang and Yin forces of our creation, to ebb and flow throughout our meridian network, feeding the organs that sustain our life. We open and stimulate the meridians, the energy-flow channels, enabling the bio-electro-magnetic force, Qi or chi, to come on full charge as we do the slow graceful form.
Healers and Martial Artists use Tai Chi to improve external Qi-projection and internal rooting. Combined with Iron Shirt Chi Kung, Tai Chi helps develop the rootedness to keep ourselves safe when practising kundalini or astral projection in the higher meditations.
Tai Chi comes to us as a gift from the past, a way to create our own tranquillity: “to keep our cool when all about us might be losing theirs.”
Beyond the Basics: As you combine the Hidden Masters practice of Steel Body Tai Chi with the First Five Steps to the Tao, you learn to integrate the power-techniques of Iron Shirt, the psychic self-defence of Fusion and the extra-sensory perception of the Tao of the Shaman, utilising the Inner Eye to anticipate, disappear and counter.
These 7 videos are a learning-and-teaching free resource for Steel Body Tai Chi, the 'Hidden Masters Form developed from Mantak Chia's Tai Chi Chi Kung for use with the mp3 Audio Tai Chi Form you can play on your ipod or smartphone while doing the form.
The Audio joins up all the moves and structures in sequence, step by step.

Learn Tai Chi as shamanic theatre, celestial combat, rooted in Earth and played in the human dimension. Yang advances, Yin withdraws, Harmony prevails.  Learning the Way of the Hidden Masters gives a sense of reality to this ancient art as we emulate the heroes of then, the warriors, the fighting nuns and monks.
