Pathway Taichi

Pathway Tai Chi
Learn the art. Move with purpose.

PATHWAY TAICHI is a beginner-friendly program for those ready to experience Tai Chi as more than just exercise. Through clear, progressive instruction, you’ll learn the essential movements and underlying principles that give Tai Chi its power and depth. Each class builds your ability step-by-step—helping you move with greater awareness, coordination, and intent—so you leave not just feeling better, but actually improving your skill with every session.

Learn Tai Chi Properly — From Day One

If you’ve ever been curious about Tai Chi but weren’t sure where to start, this is your entry point.
PATHWAY TAICHI is a structured beginner program designed for anyone who wants more than just a light workout. This is where you learn the real foundations of Tai Chi — step-by-step — in a way that builds genuine skill, coordination, and body awareness.
You won’t just follow along. You’ll understand what you’re doing, why it matters, and how to improve each week.

Is This Right for You?

This program is ideal if you:

  • Want to learn Tai Chi from experienced practitioners
  • Are looking for a mindful, skill-based alternative to the gym
  • Value structure, progression, and clear instruction
  • Are a complete beginner with no prior experience
  • It’s not just a casual drop-in class — it’s a starting point for people who want to build something real.
What You’ll Gain
  • Improved coordination and body control
  • Better posture and movement efficiency
  • Increased strength through slow, controlled movement
  • Greater focus, calm, and mental clarity
  • A clear understanding of Tai Chi fundamental concepts
What to Expect in Your First Class

We know many people come in unsure of what Tai Chi is actually like — so here’s exactly what you can expect:

  • Step-by-step instruction — movements are broken down clearly so you can follow and improve
  • Repetition with purpose — you’ll practise key movements to build real skill (not just skim through routines)
  • Attention to detail — posture, alignment, and coordination are all part of the learning process
  • A relaxed, focused environment — no pressure, but also not a passive class
  • Progress over time — each session builds on the last
  • You don’t need to be flexible, fit, or experienced — just open to learning something new.
How This Is Different

Most Tai Chi classes do more talking and less moving. PATHWAY TAICHI is about learning.
You’ll be guided through a structured approach that helps you:

  • Understand the movements
  • Develop control and awareness
  • Build a solid foundation for long-term progress
Ready to Begin?

If you’re looking for a class that challenges you in the right way — physically and mentally — while still being accessible as a complete beginner, this is your place to start.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

WHERE DO YOU TEACH YOUR CLASSES?
  • Perth Tai Chi Pathway Classes are conducted at Rossmoyne Primary School, 90 Second Ave in Rossmoyne on Saturday mornings for Levels 1, 2, 3
WHERE ELSE DO YOU TEACH?
  • Perth Tai Chi classes and curriculum are primarly held at Rossmoyne Friday morning, Saturday morning and Monday evening. However if neither of these times suit, you may enquire at the following locations:
    • Rossmoyne Primay School – (Pathway Levels 1-3 curriculum)
    • Rossmoyne Hall – (Balance Tai Chi 50+ Only)
HOW MUCH ARE YOUR CLASSES?
  • Classes at Rossmoyne Primary School are conducted as 10 week terms, at one session per week, payable only through online registration.
  • Term schedules follow the Western Australian School term calendar.
  • We do not offer a ‘pay as you go’ system.
IS TAI CHI THE SAME AS YOGA?
  • While Tai Chi and Yoga share the same principles in terms of philosophy, mental spirituality and fitness benefits, they are not the same.
  • Yoga commonly holds its postures statically to build strength and flexibility, some standing and some on the floor.
  • Tai Chi does not require a floor mat and usually shoes are worn.
  • Tai Chi postures are continually flowing from one movement to the next, rarely pausing. This is to help promote the flow of chi energy. Tai Chi is also performed standing, while the movements simulate martial art applications.
  • In order to experience ‘chi flow’, you will be expected to remember movements of a routine and link them together smoothly and continuously for this to occur. It may not happen straight away, but if you are dedicated and prepared to work at it, results will come.
CAN I COME AND TRY FOR FREE TO SEE IF I LIKE IT?
  • No. It is recommended that you sign up for a complete 10 week term to get a better understanding and appreciation of the Tai Chi experience.  Tai Chi is an art that has a lot of depth which can take a lifetime to fully master.
  • Attending a ‘One Off’ class will not give you ample opportunity to appreciate the benefits that Tai Chi can offer. If however, you find that after the 10 week term, that Tai Chi is not for you, then you do not have to continue.
  • At least completing one term will give you some knowledge to be able to discuss and explain Tai Chi to others
WHAT STYLE OF TAI CHI DO YOU TEACH?
  • All new beginners are taught routines that are predominately based on the Yang style of Tai Chi.
  • We also have short simplified routines based on the Chen, Wu, Sun and Wu-Hao styles which gives you an sampling of the different styles to help you choose your preferred style when proceeding to the Advanced classes.
  • Click here to learn more about our CURRICULUM
CAN I JUST LEARN THE BASICS TO GET STARTED?
  • You can subscribe to our videos in our ONLINE VIDEO section from the comfort of your own home. These are not strictly lessons, as it is best to learn from face to face from a qualified instructor.
  • These videos are generally aimed as supplemantary resources for participants of Perth Tai Chi.
I’VE NEVER DONE TAI CHI BEFORE WILL IT BE EASY FOR ME TO LEARN?
  • Every individual is different. Some people like it immediately, while some others take a little longer before they begin to enjoy it.
  • It is best to approach it with an open mind without any preconceived ideas and just let the Tai Chi experience take over.
I’M NOT SURE IF I’M GOING TO LIKE TAI CHI. IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY I CAN TRY IT?
  • You can subscribe to our ONLINE VIDEO programs or view our YOUTUBE channel.
I DEFINITELY WANT TO JOIN YOUR CLASSES. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE I BEGIN?
  • Come to classes with an open mind and without any preconceived ideas.
  • Loose comfortable clothing with flat soled shoes is recommended. No high heels, No skirts.
  • Although Tai Chi is a slow gentle exercise, it is important to work at your own comfort level and take rest breaks whenever you need to.
  • In a typical Tai Chi class, it can be expected that you will have to learn and remember movements of a form or routine. This can be challenging and frustrating for most people, but if you persevere, you will get there in the end. That is what Tai Chi is trying to teach you.
  • For more advice you can read: ADVICE FOR NEW STUDENTS STARTING TAI CHI
  • Ready to get started? SIGN UP NOW!
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I PRACTICE?
  • This is dependent on the individual. It’s always best to apply what you learn on a regular basis. Some people prefer to practice every day, some others just once a week. You can practice as many times as you like or as little as you like.
  • However, your progress will be faster if you practice with sincerity and commitment. As the saying goes, “Quality over Quantity”
WILL TAI CHI HELP ME RELAX AND REDUCE MY STRESS WHILE OVERCOMING OTHER PHYSICAL PROBLEMS?
  • Tai chi is an in-depth art that involves a lot of different aspects in order to improve your health and fitness. Generically speaking, you will benefit from it as an overall maintenance program, rather than using Tai Chi to target specific areas of needs.
  • For example, Tai Chi has been proven to help people suffering from arthritis however a Tai Chi program does not directly treat arthritis specific problems. The same can be said for diabetes and other ailments. but through the practice of Tai Chi, you will notice significant improvements to your overall health.
I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY TAI CHI BUT WAS AFRAID TO START. I WASN’T TOO SURE IF IT WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR ME. WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
  • We would recommend that you explore our YouTube channel videos HERE , that will give you a thorough understanding of at least the basic fundamentals and a very functional warm-up exercise routine.
  • At the very least, if you decide that Tai Chi is not to your liking, you will still get a gentle exercise routine that you can use on a daily basis.
ISN’T TAI CHI ONLY FOR OLDER ADULTS AND SENIORS?
  • While Tai Chi is commonly associated with this demographic, it is better to start while you are younger and fitter.
  • Tai Chi is an excellent health fitness maintenance program that can last a lifetime and is known for increasing life longevity.
  • Unlike other high energy sports or exercises, Tai Chi is the only program that will allow you to continue until your twilight years.
DO YOU OFFER CORPORATE SESSIONS?
  • Yes we do depending on availability of our instructors. Corporate sessions can be tailored to suit your needs.
  • Whether you just need a one-off session for a conference or a series of classes as part of your company’s wellness program. We can provide.
  • CONTACT us for details and rates.
DO YOU OFFER PRIVATE CLASSES?
  • We no longer offer this service.
CAN I BUY SOME SESSIONS AS A GIFT FOR A FAMILY MEMBER?
  • We are not set up to offer gift packages. However, you can pay for a term on behalf of a friend/family member.
DO YOU SELL ANY TAI CHI SILK UNIFORMS OR TRAINING APPARATUS’?
  • We suggest that you search online for anything specific that you are looking for.
