We can learn a lot about our technique from our feet - do they pivot when the body turns, or do they drag, are the angles correct, is stepping controlled, is the back foot grounded, does the weight transfer correctly, are postures balanced, do we ‘feel’ the floor before we commit? Sensitivity of the feet should be practised regularly.

We ditched the chairs and enjoyed the sunshine! I love this Chair Exercise class - it’s so much harder than you would think. Core muscles, quads, triceps, biceps, abs, lats, deltoids, hamstrings, lungs, calves, traps and brains get a full workout! Great work, everyone!

Our Story

Rising Moon Tai Chi

Rising Moon Tai Chi is the largest tai chi school on the Mornington Peninsula. The Rising Moon name and its logo was carefully designed to show the meaning behind tai chi: Referring to Yin and Yang, the moon signifies female, from the earth, rising to fuse with opposing forces to create energy and fullness. Within the logo, we see the fluidity of the Koi fish representing continuous change and adaptation. The circular pattern, based on Yin and Yang show that all things in life are connected. The black fish represents the overcoming of obstacles, strong in battle and strength through hardship. The red fish symbolises the love a mother has for her family. Strong, steadfast and brave.

Our classes

Classes are held in a relaxed and respectful environment. Usually conducted indoors, the session changes focus from individual and group work, to instructor led or student led exercises. It is a standing activity, requiring similar energy levels as a good walk. Of course, there are always chairs available if students would prefer this to standing.
