“Practicing Tai Chi is a constant in an ever-changing life. Attending class brings joy, friendship, even tears of laughter alongside the exercise. My health and well-being has improved and continues to benefit as I leave each class feeling recharged. Tai-Chi has provided me with the skills to quieten my anxieties,  especially on the darkest days of my journey through life.”

"Finding Qi Gong and Tai Chi I have discovered a place within myself that I didn’t know I was searching for. The slow, mindful flow quiets the noise of everyday life, and builds strength balance and grace.

When I practise, I feel grounded, calm and restored — as if I am returning home to myself. What unfolds in class stays with me long after.

There is something truly special about the way Shaun teaches — with patience, kindness and deep understanding. The supportive community we share creates a space that feels safe, nourishing and uplifting.

Tai Chi has guided me to live my life in harmony with the Tao, with greater presence in the moment. I am deeply grateful for the peace and connection it brings into my life."

“In Shaun’s class, you learn that Tai Chi and qigong are more than just choreography, it’s connecting breath to movement. Developing balance in body and mind all in your own time, in a safe space. It has enabled me to look beyond what I thought I could do, both in practise and creatively outside of class. For me it has been one of the most impactful of experiences.”

“I joined Wutan back in 2005 looking to find help in dealing with severe stress in my life.The impact this had on me was life changing on so many levels. In a world motivated by instant results and instant gratification, the realisation that practicing Tai Chi and other martial forms is the work of a lifetime for me was an awakening and humbling. Practicing in the past with Master They and now with Shaun and our team of friends is a joy and benefits my physical, mental and spiritual self. Wutan has given me a gift for life's journey wherever I may be and for that I will be eternally grateful.”
