About Auckland Tai Chi Studio
Welcome to Auckland Tai Chi Studio, a renowned establishment located at 54 Avondale Road in Auckland, New Zealand. As a health-focused point of interest, we specialize in the practice and teachings of Tai Chi, a martial art that incorporates meditative movements and promotes physical, mental, and emotional balance.
Tai Chi is the perfect exercise for individuals of all ages and fitness levels as it requires the mind to center its attention in the body, resulting in relaxation at a deep level. By practicing Tai Chi, you can improve the natural flow of energy, known as Chi, which is essential for maintaining good health and a balanced body.
We often observe that as we age, this vital energy becomes restricted due to tension and stress. Just compare the movements of young children to those in their 50s, and you will notice the difference. This restriction begins in our mid to late twenties, long before we reach old age. The demands and responsibilities of adult life prevent us from taking care of ourselves, leading us to rapidly approach old age without having taken responsibility for our own well-being.
Tai Chi provides an ideal solution to address these issues and offers an opportunity for self-understanding through thoughtful movement. By practicing Tai Chi, we learn to relax and open up our bodies, allowing a return to our youthful essence.
Our instructor, Rob Lindsay, has been practicing Tai Chi since 1978 and teaching since 1985. He has learned from esteemed masters such as Master Wan Kean Chew of Penang and Patrick Kelly, both personal students of Grandmaster Chen Man Ch'ing and Grandmaster Huang Sheng Shyan, respectively. Rob's exploration into Tai Chi was driven by the age-old question of finding oneself and the desire to combine martial arts and spirituality. Tai Chi, with its softness as the basis of power and a strong connection to the ground, became the perfect answer. It emphasizes vertical balance, harmony between the limbs, and mindfulness throughout the entire body.
At Auckland Tai Chi Studio, each class begins with five loosening exercises that help develop balance, flexibility, and mental concentration. This is followed by the practice of the "short form," Cheng Man Ch'ing's 37 Posture Yang Form, which is a sequence of postures linked together to create one graceful movement lasting about twenty minutes. It typically takes a beginner around nine months to learn this form. Additionally, students are introduced to "pushing hands," two-person exercises that further develop sensitivity, balance, and flexibility in relation to a partner.
The short form represents a complete system of Tai Chi practice. However, for those eager to further their study, we also offer more advanced forms, including the 108 posture "Long Form," 18 Push Hands exercises, Short Stick Form, and a "fast form" from the Fujian White Crane & Tai Chi lineage via Master Huang Sheng Shyan.
