The Eltham Centre is located in the big and beautiful Eltham North Hall within the Eltham North Reserve. Classes are on Friday mornings with beginners tai chi and qigong from 10:00 to 11:00am and advanced qigong, tai chi and weapons from 11:00 to noon. In the nicer weather, we often have small groups dotted throughout the gum trees next to Diamond Creek.
The team of instructors is led by Senior Master Chin Min Lian. He is strongly supported by Instructor Christina Chan, Assistant Instructors Linda Samson, James Owen and Catriona Wells, Trainee Instructors Sue Hawthorne, Judith Michael, Gary Stirton, Kirsty Freeman and Mun Yuen. We enjoy meetings each term where we chat about tai chi teaching (and all sorts of other things) over lunch and the occasional beverage at the Eltham Hotel. We regularly attend training and workshops with Grand Master Eng Chor Khor, Senior Master Chin Min Lian and Senior Instructors.
We are all true believers in the benefits and joys of tai chi and qigong and love our Friday mornings with students and each other. Eltham tai chi folk are a friendly and laid-back bunch and we warmly welcome anyone into the fold.
