The Mindcare philosophy
Movement is medicine for creating a change in a person physically, mentally and intellectually.

Experience it…

体PhysicalStrength, flexibility, stamina, balance and practical self defence.
心EmotionalManaging anger, fear and stress. Resilience, confidence and calm.
智MentalFocus, discipline, clarity and a growth mindset for daily life.

Three ideas behind every class.

Techniques change from kicks to breath work. These three never do.

Balance, practised.

Our teaching draws on two traditional maps of wellbeing: the five elements and the seven chakras. Use them to read how you feel today and what to train.

These are traditional frameworks used in Chinese and Indian practice. They are a way to reflect and to choose a practice, not a medical diagnosis or treatment. For health conditions, please see your doctor.

Corporate wellness: the Taichi Mandate.
