About Tai Chi Sydney
Tai Chi Sydney offers a calming, authentic introduction to Tai Chi and Qigong amid the greenery of Centennial Park, with additional outdoor sessions at Coogee's Grant Reserve and Bronte Beach Park. Led by an instructor with nearly five decades of experience, the school is grounded in Taoist philosophy and a way of living that students say helps them reconnect with their true nature, physically and beyond. Classes run in structured terms for beginners through to continuing and advanced practitioners, covering short and long forms, push hands, weapons work and Qigong sets such as the Eight Pieces of Brocade. The teaching is repeatedly described as patient, varied and genuinely warm, making it ideal for complete beginners who want a gentle, mindful practice as well as a supportive group to belong to.
Corporate sessions and one-day workshops broaden the offering for teams and visitors. Held outdoors in beautiful parkland, the experience leaves participants feeling relaxed, energised and lighter. For Sydneysiders seeking movement, meditation and community rather than a conventional gym, Tai Chi Sydney is a tranquil, rewarding choice.
