The Life Library – a tai chi resource

Would you love to be able to perform a complete tai chi sequence?

Do you want to learn tai chi in the privacy of your own home?

Is regular gentle exercise something that you would benefit from?

Then step into the Life Library and experience the following benefits:

  • Improve your wellbeing
  • Strengthen your body
  • Reconnect with your body
  • Improve your balance
  • Develop your flexibility

Very relaxing to do in the evening… helps me sleep better as well.

The purpose of this tai chi resource is to help you to integrate the amazing practice of tai chi and chi kung into your life – I know you’re busy and that’s why most videos are between 5 and 30 minutes long!

Many of the exercises and techniques are designed for complete beginners. And with regular practice, you will slowly improve while enjoying the benefits along the way, with the Life Library taking you from beginner through to advanced practitioner.

Can you tell me more about the content?

The Library includes enough material for you to follow a regular and varied daily practice with:

  • The innovative Daily Practice plan, designed for the busy person
  • Over 30 restorative chi kung mindful motion videos for instant calm (suitable for complete beginners)
  • Choose from a further 70+ tai chi videos to help you to learn sequenced, focused movements for deeper calm (taking you from beginner to advanced)
  • Weekly video recommendations for beginner and advanced tai chi students
  • Mindfulness training for beginners
  • Training on overcoming stress, anxiety and mindset blocks with the EAST Method

In summary, everything that I’ve taught in live classes and workshops plus much more!

Me and exercise have never been friends. I completely resent effort that doesn’t have meaning (especially as I am having highs and lows with chronic fatigue and don’t feel I can afford to “waste” energy). However… I found out during lockdown that Darren organises mindful movement classes – Qi Gong and Tai Chi, and I’ve started attending them online. Oh my goodness… for the first time in my life I discovered that I love Qi Gong. Darren is such a kind and patient teacher and I love that I’ve been introduced to this mindful practice via him – THANK YOU Darren!

How often can you access this library?

You can use this library as many times as you want throughout the week.

You could, for instance, do a brief wake up chi kung session at the start of the day and finish the day with a 10 minute relaxing chi kung session before bed, as well as doing 30 minutes of movement training every evening.

I have fibromyalgia and have been struggling without a regular physio appointment. This is the first thing I’ve found online that I can follow without being in pain for days!!
