Your Tao to a healthier lifestyle….

Given the popularity of our Open Tai Chi Residential Retreats, for 2010 Master Ding will continue to hold two Open Retreats to be held at Princess Helena College, Preston, Hertfordshire. This college has over 150 years history. It is set in a stunning, large and beautifully spacious acres site with unrivalled facilities including numerous fine historic buildings. In addition, the college is within easy reach of central London and is handily placed for access to airports, road and rail links. Given the location, architecture, gardens and parkland, this venue will undoubtedly provide an ideal setting for your week of Tai Chi Chuan training.

This specially organised residential retreat is open to all levels and also other styles of martial arts practitioners.

A rare opportunity to study under Master Ding - a chance not to be missed by any one seeking to further their understanding and improve their standards in this fascinating ancient Chinese art of Tai Chi Chuan. As is said in the Tai Chi classics,

“The subtlety of Tai Chi Chuan is such that a small error in the
beginning will take you a long way from the end goal”.

In addition, the week will enable you to take time out of your normal busy routine to relax, energise and bring about the harmony and balance to the mind, body and spirit. There will undoubtedly be lots of fun and a chance to meet and make new friends with the same interest.
