He is one of the most respected tai chi teachers having trained thousands of instructors. Dr Lam has written several tai chi books including Teaching Tai Chi Effectively and Tai Chi for Beginners and the 24 Forms. His instructional DVDs are best sellers around the world.

From Dr Lam

With so much time at home during lockdown, I did even more tai chi practice. New ideas and concepts came to me with more practice.  As well  as that I conducted a number of virtual workshops and webinars - different settings brought different perspectives. New ways of expressing and feeling tai chi came to me, also I learned to communicate better using Zoom. I am looking forward to sharing with you at the 24th annual workshop.

It always amazes me how much more depth tai chi has, it makes my journey exciting and motivates me to seek more. I also noticed many of you are more familiar with virtual communication so we are going to do even better than last year.  Though one thing remains the same: an essential ingredient is for you to prepare with my instructional online lessons or DVD of your class/es. They are designed as though you are in my classes. Please work through each lesson, even if you already know the program or the set. That way I will be able to teach more in less time.

At past annual workshops people often asked if they could attend more than one class, and now you can. In fact, you can enrol  in all six classes with a discount!

I will personally teach all the classes. My colleagues will facilitate and teach small breakout groups. Looking forward to working  with you"

Classes will run from 9am to 11am and 1pm to 3pm daily. AEST - please check your local time zone
