LIVING MOVEMENT

Angus Clark, founder of Living Movement has been playing the tai chi game for 40 years. He is based in Devon, UK. A lot of his work is nature based.

With Angus you can learn the Tai Chi Essence with a collection of moves and exercises; the classic Dr. Chi / Cheng Man-Ching Short Form; as well as the Long Form; Tai Chi Sword; White Crane Qigong; and the 2 person practices of San Shou (dance), Da Lu and Pushing Hands.

Most people like to play purely for the fun and sense of wellbeing that you get from this movement art. But if you’re one of those people who’d like to take it further then no problem - you can study with Angus in depth and become a recognised instructor of the Tai Chi Union of Great Britain..

Here, below, you can enjoy an online Chi Break class from July. These sessions resume on Monday lunchtimes UK time from 11th September.

Living Movement is Angus's take on tai chi and qigong. It recognises how this type of attentive, natural movement can play a fundamental role in the broad spectrum of human health and fulfilment.

Tai Chi in Nature ....
With its natural rhythms and cycles, Tai Chi is based on the way things move in Nature. Practicing the tai chi outside feels really good. It's inspiring, uplifting, balancing, healing.

The Four Seasons Chi Walks throughout 2023 took place at Andrew's Wood in South Devon hosted by the Devon Wildlife Trust. We started with 'Winter' on 22 January and completed the fourth with a wonderful Autumn walk on 15 October. There's a fifth and final Chi Walk for Andrew's Wood on 21 January 2024, one year on, to complete the cycle. All proceeds go to the Devon Wildlife Trust's 'Saving Devon's Treescapes Project'. Everyone is welcome to join these uplifting Chi Walks.

No surprises really - green exercise and time in nature have been proven to be good for us:
'We have undertaken a decade of research into the contexts, effects and outcomes of green exercise and nature-based interventions, showing clearly and in a wide variety of contexts that physical activity in the presence of nature improves health and well-being' (Pretty et al., 2005, 2007, 2011, 2015; Hine et al., 2008; Barton and Pretty, 2010; Barton et al., 2009, 2012, 2016; Gladwell et al., 2012; Pretty, 2013; Rogerson et al., 2015; Wood et al., 2015).
