Tai Chi, Taiji Quan in Chinese, is an ancient Chinese martial art that is widely practiced for its physical and mental health benefits. It combines slow and flowing movements with deep breathing and meditation. The practice of Tai Chi focuses on proper body alignment, balance, and mind-body flow in harmony and provides a holistic approach to enhance health and wellbeing.
Qi Gong practice aims at cultivating Qi (life essence, vital energy) and balancing the Yin and Yang elements within the body through simple, gentle, and meditative movement.
One of the primary differences between Tai Chi & Qi Gong is that Qi Gong has shorter and simpler sequences comparing with Tai Chi’s. Every Tai Chi movement has a martial art implication. Tai Chi practice focuses on both intent and movements simultaneously to harmonise the mind and body flow.
Some of Tai Chi & Qi Gong health benefits include,
- Building muscle strength & coordination
- Improving breathing, flexibility & stamina
- Reducing pain, stress & anxiety
- Enhancing balanced and flowing movements
- Strengthening cardiovascular and immune function
- Maintaining a calm & focused mind
- Creating mind-body connection and harmony

Our Testimonials
I purchased two memberships for Meridian Connection Tai Chi in 2018 as XMas presents for my husband and I. We were looking for low impact exercise and never looked back.
Over the past six years, Tai Chi has helped me build muscle strength, stretch as well as self-confidence that healthy ageing is possible. Fang's instructions are always clear, delivered with gentle words and encouragement.
Luke, our Tai Chi tutor is always supportive, demonstrating each move one small step at a time. Tai Chi group is healthy, fun and great company.
I just want to say how valuable the Tai Chi classes have been for me. After living with chronic discomfort for the past 8 years, I feel this has been the last piece of the puzzle to help me ease my discomfort considerably, working together with regular physio and walking. It has also been a fantastic skill to help me focus my mind more.
I would like to let folks know how lucky we are to have Fang Qin (Meridian Connection TC) teaching Tai Chi and Qigong here in South Australia. I myself have learned Tai Chi & Qigong for the past 30 years, studying with numerous teachers in China, UK and Australia. I was classified as a Premium Instructor in the Tai Chi for Health Association, as well as being fully qualified to teach numerous Tai Chi & Qigong forms (before my retirement). But I have now joined Fang's classes and am delighted at her knowledge and teaching ability. She teaches so many different forms, suiting complete Tai Chi or Qigong beginners, through to those learning from a highly advanced taijiquan perspective. There is always more and more to learn in Tai Chi and for our life growth at all ages. Fang Qin, in "Meridian Connection Tai Chi", will give you more awareness of your new life possibilities, for your health and well-being, at whatever age you are!!!
Meridian Connection Tai Chi is excellent. Fang is an expert teacher very passionate about her work and will cater to anyone’s needs. My daughter with special needs attends private lessons her mental and physical health has improved immensely. I highly recommend Meridian Connection.
Tai Chi has been an important part of my life for over 25 years. For much of that time, it gave me the focus, grounding and inner strength to be a positive influence in a dynamic yet difficult school environment. Unfortunately, as work pressures and stress levels grew, I neglected my practice at a time when I needed it the most. Recently, I stepped back into my Tai Chi shoes under Fang’s wonderful guidance and thanks to her inspired teaching, I have rediscovered the grounding and energy that a daily practice brings. Fang’s expert application of the martial aspect in her teaching clarifies and informs every movement. Her clear instructions and gentle energy are a positive and encouraging reinforcement of the principles of Tai Chi. It is such a delight to once again be flowing with the sequences of Tai Chi and enacting the narrative that underpins every move. I’ve noticed my sleep patterns have improved since renewing my practice and I feel more in touch with my inner core. I look forward to continuing my Tai Chi journey as it is such a rewarding and enriching practice.

I have found both Fang and Luke from Meridian Connection Tai Chi excellent to work with. They are both engaging and participants really enjoy their sessions. They explain and demonstrate the various movements in a way that makes it easy to understand and I have seen noticeable improvements in the balance and strength of our participants. They understand the need to cater for various levels of ability and mobility and are kind and encouraging to participants who initially struggle with particular movements. They also continually demonstrate and explain ways that participants can adapt the movements to suit mobility restrictions and varying levels of strength and balance. They are always more than happy to stay around after the session to answer participant’s questions. I would highly recommend Meridian Connection Tai Chi as a provider of Tai Chi for the community.
