Bright Moon Tai Chi

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art known for its graceful, slow-paced movements that promote physical health and mental clarity. Often described as "meditation in motion," Tai Chi combines deep breathing and mindful movement to cultivate balance, flexibility, and inner peace. Whether you're looking to improve your fitness, reduce stress, or find a deeper sense of wellbeing, Tai Chi offers a powerful practice that can benefit people of all ages and abilities.

Gill Walshe is a fully qualified, insured Instructor member of the Deyin Institute, the British Health Qigong Association and an Advanced Instructor member of the International Taiji and Qigong Federation.

Bright Moon Tai Chi offers classes in Deal, Dover and Eastry. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone with experience, we have classes which will suit you. Classes available include - tai chi, qigong, xing yi standing pole, fan and sword.

I started Tai Chi around 20 years ago. I wanted to do something that was kind to my body. I never thought that tai chi would take me around the world - Russia and China included! I competed in the 2016 European Tai Chi Championships in St. Petersburg (coming home with a bronze medal) and in 2018 I took part in the closing ceremony for the 3rd World Tai Chi Festival in Sanya, Hainan, China. In 2024 I competed in the European Health Qigong Games in Vienna and won bronze.

Two Bright Moon Tai Chi students are becoming tai chi and qigong instructors this year. I am pleased to announce that Avril Christensen has now qualified as a Health Qigong Instructor. Her classes will shortly be advertised here with Bright Moon Tai Chi. Lucy Horne and Avril will complete their tai chi and qigong instructors training with the Deyin Institute later this year.

Another Bright Moon student, Ken Houlker, is also a qualified tai chi and qigong teacher. He teaches at Dover Leisure Centre.
