Welcome to Longwater Tai Chi

Longwater Tai Chi (pronounced tai-ji) is based near Salisbury, Wiltshire (UK), and is led by its two principal teachers, Patrick Foley and Jane Launchbury. Our teachings are based on aspects of the Bruce Frantzis Energy Arts® system of internal self-healing exercises.

Feel well and stay fit... in slow motion

Unlike aerobics and most forms of modern Western exercise, Tai Chi teaches you how to achieve robust health through correct body alignments and low impact movements, based most importantly on the 70% Rule. The internal health aspects of Qigong (pronounced chi gung) practised with Tai Chi relieves physical, emotional and mental tension and stress and paves the way to self-healing, reducing your dependence on the overburdened health service. We believe Tai Chi is safe for people of all ages and levels of fitness.

Longwater Tai Chi holds classes and workshops in Wilton, Salisbury and Downton in Wiltshire, each designed to suit your commitment, from "take a dip" drop-in classes to half day workshops to regular short form and long form classes for the serious long term student. We can also cater for private lessons and small groups at your local venue.

Year of the Water Dragon

dragon-chrA Happy New Year to you all!

Occupying the 5th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Dragon is the mightiest of the signs. Dragons symbolize such character traits as dominance and ambition. Dragons prefer to live by their own rules and if left on their own, are usually successful. They’re driven, unafraid of challenges, and willing to take risks.

Tai Chi in the News

TIME magazine has called Tai Chi the “Perfect Exercise.” Western medical research studies confirm what hundreds of millions of tai chi practitioners have experienced themselves: tai chi improves health, reduces stress, and mitigates the effects of aging.
