🌿 **Learn the Eight Pieces of Brocade Qigong – Free Video**

I've just released a complete guide to the Eight Pieces of Brocade, a traditional Chinese Qigong practice involving eight gentle movements.

In this video, I'll guide you through each exercise and explain a little about its purpose and how to practise it.

Whether you're completely new to Qigong or already enjoy Tai Chi, you're very welcome to join me.

The aim is simple: to move gently, relax, and develop greater awareness of the body.

All set up and ready for class 😊

Over time I've been putting together more and more resources to help people practise Tai Chi, Qigong and meditation — from simple laminated practice sheets to the books I've written for beginners.

It's nice seeing everything laid out together and realising just how much the collection has grown!

Most of these resources have come directly from what I teach in my classes, with the aim of making these practices simple, accessible and easy to continue at home.

New Tai Chi book 📖

I’ve put together a new beginner’s guide to the Chen Tai Chi Long Form, covering Section One step by step.

The aim was to make the form easier to learn and remember, especially for people who are already practising with me in class or who want something they can work through at home.

Inside you’ll find:
• Clear step-by-step instructions
• Illustrated positions for each movement
• Video demonstrations to accompany the book
• The first section of the Chen Tai Chi Long Form, broken down into manageable stages
This isn’t intended to replace learning with a teacher, but to give you something you can refer back to between lessons and practise at your own pace.

Chen Tai Chi Long Form for Beginners – Section One
A Step-by-Step Guide

Available on Amazon as paperback and Kindle.

🔗 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HLTDYJM6

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me to keep creating these guides. I hope this one helps make the form a little easier to learn. ☯️
