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.

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.

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..

Tai Chi in Nature ....
Tai Chi is based on the way things like to work - natural principles, rhythms and cycles. Practicing the tai chi outside, therefore, can be most uplifting, bringing insight and inspiration.
And 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).
