Hello and welcome. I am Kath Revell, aka Ninja Granny, and I live in Liskeard, Cornwall. I love tai chi and love to practise, especially outside. There are so many benefits to Tai chi, Qigong and Somatics - they are holistic, benefitting you on all levels - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

I teach chen style Tai chi and I'm a member of the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain . My teachers are Karel and Eva Koskuba from the Chinese Internal Arts Association (CIAA). And Tom Collingridge and Helen Kingdon from the Exeter School of Tai chi Chuan.

I teach weekly Somatics Movement Classes (qualified as Hanna Somatic Exercise Coach in 2017). I also offer private Clinical Somatic Education sessions. I am soon to complete my 3 year professional training in Clinical Somatic Education with Martha Peterson of Essential Somatics 

Shen Jin Ba Gu

Shen Jin Ba Gu means "Lengthen the Ligaments, Open the Joints". This video shows the exercise from front and back view so you can follow. It doesn't take long to learn it for yourself. If you do it every day you will notice the improvement in your joints, especially your hips and shoulders. You will also find your strength and stamina increase.

​

This exercise was taught to me by Rose Oliver from the Double Dragon Alliance.

Can you follow this?
