For Schools

A different perspective on wellbeing and performance improvement for primary and secondary school students and teachers.

The workshops and programs includes a selection of easy to learn practical Tai Chi skills, exercises and Yin Yang philosophy (non-religious).

All the sessions are fun, interactive and designed to engage participants so they gain the maximum benefit workshops have to offer.
