About

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 Championships (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 students, Lucy Horne and Avril Christensen, are now undertaking their tai chi and qigong instructors training with the Deyin Institute and the British Health Qigong Association. They will be taking their own classes later in 2026.

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