Awaken Your Energy: Tai Chi & Chi Kung at Northampton Museum

Discover the ancient art of Tai Chi and Chi Kung (Qigong)—a graceful, flowing practice performed standing, and suitable for all levels of health and fitness. These time-honoured movements are more than just exercise; they’re a pathway to balance, vitality, and inner calm.

Led by Sifu Nick, regional representative of the Master Ding Academy, you’ll explore the full depth of traditional Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan, passed down through generations. Through solo and paired practices, you’ll learn to cultivate and harmonise your internal energy—known as chi—while building strength, focus, and a deep sense of well-being.

While Tai Chi has martial roots, today it’s embraced by many for its powerful benefits:

A calmer, clearer mind
A stronger, more resilient body
A sense of harmony and connection
A natural way to reduce stress and restore energy

What to Wear & Bring:

No special equipment is needed. Just wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows free movement, and flat-soled shoes like trainers or plimsolls. Bring a bottle of water to stay refreshed.

Whether you're looking for a new way to move, a moment of peace, or a fresh perspective on life—this is your invitation to explore the power of your chi.
