About Your Teacher
Arun has been exploring and developing his practice in Tai Chi and Chi Gung for thirty years and teaching classes and workshops in Leeds and around the UK and Europe for seventeen years.
He has been accredited to teach meditation by his Buddhist teachers, alongside the Tai Chi, and has practised with many renowned meditation masters.
Arun studies and practices a wide range of ancient techniques and modern scientific research to inform his teaching.
He sees Tai Chi as a way to liberate people from our personal, cultural and societal problems, because Tai Chi brings us back to ourselves, to see clearly and function optimally; to be harmonious within ourselves and with each other; to bring us forward in our evolution; to become fully optimised as human beings.
The ancient practice of Tai Chi helps to bring us back to our original body and mind, but at the same time propelling us forward to a better future, for ourselves and our world.
