Weekly Classes

Tai Chi, Qigong and Tao Spirit

Studio Classes are temporarily suspended due to the social distancing measures currently in place. I look forward to recommencing them and seeing you all again as soon as possible.

In the meantime, you can train with me Online!   Please find my Online Class schedule here.

Welcome to comprehensive training programmes in the soft-style martial art of Tai Chi, the gentle exercise art of Qigong, and Tao Spirit – my holistic, strengthening martial arts class. Whether you choose a gentle or stronger class, all promote a powerful healing of the body-mind system. I provide a safe, supportive and non-competitive training environment which allows students to develop relaxed power, self-reflection, emotional balance and a calm, peaceful mind.

My classes offer systematic training in a variety of strong and soft energy building methods. Although these energising techniques are working right from the first class, it can take a few weeks to really feel the effects. From then on, with sustained practise, the systems steadily accelerate into dynamic internal energy workouts. Over time you can expect your practise to undergo profound transformations. As with all true arts, patience and commitment are required to gain the most benefit from Tai Chi, Qigong and Qi Power.

Tai Chi classes offer an experience of stillness in action, through softly flowing, circular movements based on alignment, relaxation and meditation.

Qigong classes offer an experience of harmony in motion, through gentle, restorative self-healing practices which integrate body, breath and mind.

Qi Power classes offer a more dynamic training for strength & vitality, through a fusion of martial arts, qigong and body psychotherapy moves.

Classes run weekly during NSW school Terms

Chrissy Olsen, Author

Shirsha Marie is quite simply one of the best teachers I have ever had. I began studying Qigong with her 3 years ago. It has had a profound effect on my life, leading to a quieter, deeper equilibrium within me. I am looking forward to further years of study with her.

Chrissy Olsen, Author

Sera, Artist

The alignment and deep breathing practices of Qigong really improve my posture and support my health. I have suffered from chronic fatigue as well as very difficult emotional states, and I find that, no matter how bad I might feel before a class, afterwards I feel cleared energetically with a lovely centred healthy feeling. I’ve had about 6 different Taiji and Qigong Teachers in the past, and I find that this teacher has a refined blend of warmth, grace and professionalism which creates a strong sense of safety in the practice. I’ve never before been so encouraged to come into a full embodied presence and I don’t imagine I would find better instruction anywhere else. Thankyou.

I have been practising Qigong with Shirsha for more than 4 years. Of all the exercise and movement forms I have tried over the years, this has been the most interesting and rewarding. Over time, I’ve experienced certain physiological changes which neither medical nor alternative therapies have been able to produce - but the form has much to offer beyond the physical, and my sense is that one gets what one needs from it. The teaching here is deep and refined, and every class reveals something new to me in the form. There is an ever-unfolding exquisite subtlety to be found here.

Alison, Teacher

After major back surgery 10 years ago I was afraid of exercise. I went to Qigong after hearing about an incredible qualified instructor. I was immediately comfortable with Shirsha’s patient, professional and personal style of teaching. It has been so helpful to be able to take home what she has taught me, and to be able to relax and have the correct stance as I do an exercise. In my travels I have been to many other Qigong Instructors. This one is absolutely dedicated to her profession and her students, plus being gentle and caring.  I am 70 years old.

Alison, Teacher

Dawn, Retired Nurse

Qigong is absorbing. It enables me to develop stillness and calm in my body. I had suffered from poor posture and not feeling stable and connected through my body. I had tried other Qigong teachers but found that often the methods would oppose my body in a manner which was aggressive, forcing my body into the forms and positions. With Shirsha I have been helped to work with my own body and its particular needs with patience and acceptance; to improve my stance and posture and feel balanced; to become truly relaxed with my strength and comfortable in my own body. After the classes these benefits do not stop – I am able to tap into the source of my body’s wisdom and take this skill into my daily life.

Dawn, Retired Nurse

Io, Lawyer

Hapkido excites me because, on a practical level, it is a very efficient and precise martial art that conditions the body to be more vital and the mind to be more focused. What also impresses me is that the way in which the art is taught is a profound approach to knowledge and learning - we are constantly encouraged to engage on deeper levels and to cultivate an insightful mind. I love the respectful and joyous relationships with training partners that are emerging in the non-competitive environment.

Io, Lawyer
