Tai Chi for Every Age and Ability
Our classes teach Daoist Tai Chi in the lineage of Master Moy Lin-Shin, together with Chi Gong (Qigong) exercises, breathing and meditation. The movements are slow and flowing, so they are easy for complete beginners to follow, and they can also be a real workout when you want more challenge.
Classes are taught by Arun Gujaran, who has taught Tai Chi and Chi Gong since 2010. Groups are friendly and relaxed, and Arun adapts the practice to each person’s needs, which makes the classes a good fit for older beginners and over-50s as well as younger adults.

Arun Gujaran, founder & instructor
Arun has been exploring and developing his practice in Tai Chi and Chi Gung for around thirty years, teaching classes and workshops in Leeds and around the UK and Europe. He has been accredited to teach meditation by his Buddhist teachers and has practised with many renowned meditation masters.
He draws on a wide range of ancient techniques alongside modern scientific research to inform his teaching — guiding beginners and experienced students alike.
Arun sees Tai Chi as a way of coming back to ourselves — to see clearly, function well, and live in harmony with ourselves and each other.Read more about Arun
