"I joined Lionel's Tai Chi class in March 2025 — a completely new form of exercise for me.

I have thoroughly enjoyed Lionel's classes over the past 16 months and feel much calmer after each session and beyond."
"If you're looking for a teacher who can ground your spirit, improve your balance and gently guide your Qi whilst putting up with your lack of coordination to do two different moves with your arms at the same time (!), I can't recommend Lionel enough!"
"Lionel is a knowledgeable teacher with a love for his subject — a perfect combination. I look forward to every lesson!"
"I joined Lionel's Tai Chi class in the later part of 2025 having never done Tai Chi before and wasn't sure if it would be for me. Very quickly I realised its importance to promoting wellbeing. With Lionel's patient humour and easy teaching — along with videos and handouts provided — I thoroughly enjoy the classes and go away emotionally relaxed but also revitalised. Thank you Lionel."
"Lionel has helped me to slow down. His classes are very calming. I have learnt so much from him, and not only the moves. Tai Chi walking in the woods around me moves the walk into a meditation, and not always a stomp!"
