Did you know in Chinese culture there are five seasons? The year is divided up to align with the five elements; Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, and Earth.

We're currently in the late summer period which is associated with the earth element and is a good time for self nuturing.🧘🏼‍♀️

Regular tai chi practice is great for helping to take care of yourself so it's a good time of year to train. ☯️

We had a great start to the term last week with returning students and beginners attending class. If you'd like to join us, we're at King Heath Community Centre 6.30-8.00pm on Wednesday evenings.👍🏼

Please ask if you have any questions or just come along to class 🙂

I see tai chi is in the news again for its health benefits 🧐

If you're interested in joining us for our weekly classes in Kings Heath, now is a great time - we are just returning after a summer break! Classes start again **next week** on Wednesday 2nd September.

I'll post some more details to this page soon but in the meantime, please ask if you have any questions ☺️

I'm feeling refreshed after the TCAA summer course in Cornwall 😎

My fellow teacher Bea runs the Brighton Tai Chi class and has written this brilliant blog post capturing her impressions of the summer course and her experience of the training.

(If you have any friends living near to her class, please urge them to give it a try - she's a great teacher!)

Classes here in Kings Heath start up again after our summer break on Wednesday 2nd September ☯️

I’ve just returned from an inspiring week of summer training in Sennen, Cornwall, having travelled from Brighton to join fellow instructors and students from across our Tai Chi association. Every year, twice a year, our teachers come together to train, share ideas and continue developing our skill...

Just back from training in Cornwall - what a great experience, training on the beach to the sound of the waves!

22/07/2026

Tai chi class is back tonight at Kings Heath Community Centre at our usual time 6.30-8.00pm.

All are welcome to join us this evening - it's actually our last class of the summer term before we'll take a little break for the summer (back in September).

Next week I'll be away at the Taoist Cultural Arts Association Summer Course, training on a beautiful Cornish beach 😍☀️ ⛱️

Beginners are always welcome at our classes and courses - please ask if you'd like any more information on either ☯️

So I don't know if you've heard but it might actually be coming home ⚽ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤞🤞🤞

To allow Kings Heath Community Centre to host the fan zone, we'll be training over in Sarehole Mill again.

And to give us all chance to watch the match ourselves (kick off 8pm), we'll bring forward the time of Wednesday's class so it'll be *6.00-7.30pm*

Normal service will resume the following week for our last class of the term before our summer break ☺️

After our outing to Sarehole Mill last week, this evening our tai chi class is back in its usual home of Kings Heath Community Centre, 6.30-8.00pm.

It's another scorching hot day today but we will take it easy 😎

See you there! ☯️

⚠️ Change of Venue ⚠️

Our class is usually at the community centre every Wednesday but this week the hall will be used to host a fan zone for England's upcoming World Cup football fixture.

Instead, since it's forecast to be a warm summer's evening, we will be training at Sarehole Mill in the big meadow behind the mill. There is parking there and the number 11 bus stops right outside.

It's unusual circumstances due to the football and we will be back in our usual venue next week, but I'm looking forward to holding a session outside and making the most of the light summer evening.

All are welcome - please ask if you have any questions 🙂
