Wandering Tai Chi · Six-Week Email Course
You're managing a full life. But somewhere in the middle of it you've lost the thread back to your own body. Centring and Grounding is a six-week course that teaches you a simple, sustainable qigong-based practice and gives you the tools to actually keep doing it.
You might be someone who has tried meditation and felt like you were doing it wrong. Or you've been keeping up with everything work, relationships, obligations, but you're running on empty and the gap between who you are and how you feel keeps widening.
Maybe you've noticed your decisions getting worse when you're under pressure. That you're less patient than you want to be. That you spend a lot of time in your head and very little time actually in yourself.
You don't need another wellness concept. You need a practice, something grounded, practical, and honest, that you can actually sustain. That's what this course is built around.
Centring and Grounding draws on principles from qigong, a practice with roots in Daoist and Buddhist traditions, refined over thousands of years. You don't need to know anything about qigong. You need a body and the willingness to pay attention to it.
The course works with your autonomic nervous system, specifically the relationship between the stress response and the calming response, and teaches you to recognise what's happening inside you so you can actually do something about it, rather than just being swept along by it.
Not concepts. Not visualisation. Actual exercises, movement, breath, attention, that you can do in your kitchen, your office, before a difficult conversation.
One email a week. Audio recordings of every lesson. No performance required. The course is designed for real life, not ideal conditions.
You'll miss sessions. You'll lose momentum. This course teaches you how to work with that rather than against yourself, because that's where the real learning is.
Honestly it's really really good. I've paid fortunes for courses on stuff nowhere near as well put together and content rich. How it's delivered and presented is absolutely top notch, so much depth and content, and super easy to follow.
J · Sports & Fitness CoachThis course invited me to think more about how our bodies inhabit space and helped me find techniques to relax into myself and the space around me. I've found it easier to be attuned to the rhythms of my body and to embrace movements that help loosen some of the tensions I carry.
S · LecturerI follow lots of different mindfulness practices, so this has been a really nice addition. It's nice and clear, the emails are really friendly and a nice way to catch up in between sessions.
K · Personal TrainerThe "functional language" advice is so powerful. It's a real mindset shift to unify and heal versus force and dominate, challenging, yet even the smallest influence from this course opens up a big door.
K · Business CoachOne email per week, each with an audio recording. The exercises are available to return to as many times as you like.
Why this work matters, what to expect, and how to approach it without fighting yourself.
Setting yourself up practically and getting into your body with the core qigong-based centring and grounding exercises.
How to track what's actually happening, sensations, patterns, what's working — without turning it into another obligation.
A clear, accessible look at the autonomic system fight, flight, freeze, fold and why a body-based practice is one of the most direct ways to work with it.
What activation actually looks like in your body, specifically and how to use centring and grounding to come back to yourself in the middle of real life.
The difference between pushing too hard and letting yourself off the hook and how to find the middle ground where practice actually takes root.
Consolidating what you've discovered and building a practice that continues to serve you after the course ends.
The benefits of a consistent centring and grounding practice don't always arrive in the ways you expect. People often report having more space between stimulus and response that moment where you can actually choose how to react rather than just reacting. Better sleep. Being less derailed by difficult emails or charged conversations.
One person found that the practice changed how they related to eating, they became more intentional and present with it, rather than on automatic. Another found they were simply kinder to themselves on hard days. These aren't dramatic transformations. They're the kind of quiet, useful shifts that accumulate over time and start to feel like just how you are.
That's the point. The practice is meant to become invisible, not because it stops working, but because it becomes part of how you move through your life.
I came to these practices during a particularly dark time. A teacher said to me: this work is about being as alive and as human as you can be. Something in me lit up, enough to keep me coming back for what is now over two decades.
I've been lucky to learn with teachers who understood that practice is for using in life, not for achieving some idealised state. That's shaped everything about how I teach. I'm not interested in spiritual performance or perfect practice. I'm interested in what actually works, consistently, for real people with full lives.
None of this work is invented by me. These practices have been developed and refined over thousands of years. I'm sharing what they've done for me and what I've seen them do for the people I've worked with.
I also teach a drop-in qigong class every Sunday at 10am on Zoom, open to all levels and all bodies. If you're curious about working with me more directly, that's a good place to start.
It's worth being honest about this.
