Health, Prosperity, Longevity and Good Luck for the year ahead
It is almost Chinese New Year – the year of the Water Dragon, year 4710. The lunar new year on which it is based begins on Monday 23rd January.
In ancient China, the celestial Dragon represented the emperor and power. Today, it is the ultimate auspicious symbol signifying success and happiness. May the celestial Dragon bring great good luck to everyone. Take positive steps to ‘Yang Sheng’ ~ Nurture your Life-Force in this Dragon Year!
Our new Tai Chi classes are starting at the end of January.
I hope to see you at one of these events as I tour the country and tour China!
I’m very excited about getting off to a busy start in March presenting workshops in Drummoyne, Newcastle, Gosford and Cairns. Actually the workshops continue throughout the year including Tai Chi Flute and Tai Chi Pole in Sydney as we develop new curricula to pass on these interesting and beneficial arts.
The focus of 2012 will be on the individual nurturing and cultivating their own health. This exciting year will culminate in the visit of Master Zhou direct from Wudang Mt China, to present at our Brisbane and Sydney Seminars. Make sure you get in early for the Sydney seminar as our Collaroy venue books out quickly.
China Tours:
April: The Tibet – Terracotta Warriors – Beijing & Great Wall – Wudang tour and
October: The Wudang – Confucius Hometown – Taoist Peak – Shanghai tour.
Every time we visit China we learn and see and experience so much that it never ceases to amaze me!
With the excitement of the coming year, may 2012 be a vibrant year filled with great challenges, achievements, health benefits and the discovery and experience of many varied new skills for all our Tai Chi Students

Tai Chi is the supreme ultimate for your daily maintenance
Constant multitasking, overbooking and then blacking out with sleep creates a life of catch-up and anxiety. Tai chi manages to slow time down to its natural pace. It allows the mind to rest calmly in the present moment, while the body flows with gentle exercise for every part.
The most important thing in our lives is good health. We give our cars regular services, but often forget about ourselves. You can have many cars, but you only have one body!
Look after it well. To maintain such a gift, Tai Chi & Qigong is the answer. For those who have already experienced the wonderful feeling of Tai Chi, we hope to see you again soon. To those who have yet to experience that feeling, now is the time to take action and join a class near you.
