Alex Gardner – Tai Chi instructor
Alex Gardner is part of the team at Babacool (www.babacool.net) where he runs sessions in Tai Chi Qigong and other activities, including qualifying others. Although Alex comes from a martial arts background, he has also studied the medical styles of Tai Chi Qigong for several years, including travelling to China, where he is one of a handful of Westerners who have been invited to demonstrate and take part at the “Kung Fu Court” held in Kung Fu Corner in Kowloon. Alex is a strong advocate for the beneficial effects of the art for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. His teaching style is relaxed, informative, and inclusive.
Talk duration: About 30 minutes, plus time for questions and answers.
We’re excited to offer a six-week Tai Chi course led by Babacool instructor Alex Gardner. Alex combines his martial arts experience and extensive training to make Tai Chi, often referred to as ‘meditation in motion,’ enjoyable and accessible to all. This is your chance to immerse yourself in the transformative art of Tai Chi and discover the benefits of Tai Chi.
