About 8-Form Tai Chi 

 

Looking for a gentle, effective way to move your body and calm your mind? 8-Form Tai Chi might be just what you need! This short and flowing sequence takes only 3–5 minutes to complete and can be done in a small space — your lounge, bedroom, kitchen, or even in the garden. It’s based on the classic 24-form Tai Chi but simplified for beginners, making it easy to learn and enjoyable to practice.

You can learn 8-Form Tai Chi in a workshop or class, with around 8 hours of guided learning and 12 hours of self-practice — we aim to help you build a solid foundation in just 20 hours! With clear step-by-step guidance, you’ll gain the confidence to practice at home and make it part of your daily routine. Whether you're brand new to Tai Chi or looking to refresh your practice, this 8-form Tai Chi flow is a beautiful place to start.

💬 Testimonials

Real people, real calm — straight from our Tai Chi community.

“JingJing makes classes fun but expects students to work and learn and make sure we all do. She is a master Tai chi practitioner who loves to share her wisdom . She had a depth of knowledge and enthusiasm you only rarely find in a teacher. " 
Judy (Nelson)
"I think the workshops you delivered over the two days should be the starting point for any beginner before moving to any other Tai chi programmes. The videos and guides after class are very useful as well! Thank you."
Garadine (Christchurch)
'Jingjing's knowledge and experience runs deep but she makes it all very accessible and you can immediately feel the benefits of the Qi Gong /Tai Chi. I'm sure you will leave JingJing's sessions feeling enlightened and inspired!'
