Tai Chi - Intermediate

Content

In this course we will complete and refine the first section of the Wu Tai Chi form following the teaching structure of the Shaolin Temple of Europe. For previous participants, this class has less participants, focuses on correcting, personal feedback, working on hand movements and synthesising breathing.

Come back to silence practice to enter the “flow” or as my teacher called: “become one” experience where you stop thinking and fully into the movement. These are the last onsite practices for continuous learners this 2026.

This introduction is short because we have already known and felt the benefits. The practice has done the speaking of itself.

Course leader

Thuy Huynh studies traditional Wu-style Tai Chi under Master Zuan Shifu through the Shaolin Temple of Europe. Her teaching emphasises on awareness, alignment and self-mastery – reignite your inner teacher. She treats movement as a form of mediation. The integration of movement and breathing harmonise body and mind, emotion and intelligence, making traditional Tai Chi accessible and relevant to everyday life.

She’s been into all forms of body movements such as dancing (2 years in aerobic dance as a kid, 1 year in street dance as adult), ~5 years training and sparring in Taekwondo, self-defense and other sports before she discovered online teachings from Shifu Shi Heng Yi (2019) and Shifu Zuan (Wu Tai Chi in the journey to Oneself - Koh Phangan Retreat, 2023).

Professionally, she does designs (digital product, web and branding) and illustration, communication consultant, content creator and entrepreneur.

Medborgarskolan and Popular Education (Folkbildning)

Medborgarskolan is a humanistic study association that offers you the opportunity to learn, develop, and exchange experiences and ideas with others. We have a broad range of activities and collaborate with associations and organizations in many different fields.

Popular education, or Folkbildning, is something we create together in study circles, which progress through knowledge exchange. The study circle is the traditional course format of the popular education movement and can cover both major and minor topics, local and global issues. It can take place in physical meetings or remotely, and individual participants can influence the structure and content of the circle based on a democratically inspired model.
