In my class there were only 3 people, there was time to correct each one. Each instruction was very complete, ranging from the philosophy of Tai Chi practice to Chinese medicine, the vision of anatomy with a focus on the meridians and without failing to mention the holistic theory of practice.... Silent classes with good facilities, in a beautiful environment. My teachers were kind and very patient, they made you reach the postures through your own understanding of the body and energy. You can use the facilities if you wish to practice privately, outside of class hours. Respect prevails among students from different countries and ages. The food is simple, but delicious. Free bicycles and washing machines are available. The teachers are always available and willing to answer any questions, from the classes themselves to your walks, logistics and daily life. Yangshuo is a paradisiacal environment, with incredible landscapes, there are many activities to do, from hiking to mountain climbing, boat rides along the beautiful rivers, scooters along the mountains, shows, etc.read more
