Lishi Daoist Tai Chi Society

The Lishi Daoist Tai Chi Society offers positive changes and an escape from the stresses of coursework, deadlines and exams. Achieved through learning an ancient chinese system of health related movements and exercises it promotes all-round well-being, health and fitness. The Li style tai chi form is a great place to start your journey into Lishi (pronounced "Lee Sher").

Alone, tai chi is a useful finger, but when learned alongside other Lishi arts, it becomes a complete set of hands from which you develop the dexterity and skills to manoeuvre playfully through life. These arts include daoist kai-men yoga exercises, breathing exercises, 'soft' kung fu, massage techniques and chi gong, amongst other flowing chinese moves and forms.

As a starting point, Lishi involves moving and exercising your body in a variety of different ways that have proven, positive benefits for your physical, mental and emotional health. During the successive classes you will be taken through the foundations of Li style tai-chi, and other Lishi arts. By practising Lishi you become physically, mentally and spiritually fit.

Lishi is an ancient system of practise that contains many secrets that will continually support you to take your health and well being to higher and higher levels.

Everyone who practices Lishi is different, but what we have in common is that we want to feel greater levels of health and energy in our bodies because we realise this is the key to improving our lives.
