Yang Tai Chi: The Complete 24 Form
Yang Tai Chi: The Complete 24 Form
Up to 20 in group
November 9 - 15, 2026
Retreat Highlights
- The Yang style is the most widely practised form of tai chi in the world, known for its slow, even pace and soft, continuous movement. Over six days, the complete Yang 24 form is built section by section with Shifu Li — four sections at a time — so each shape and transition has room to settle into the body before the next is added.
- Every session opens with qigong to open the energy channels and ease into breath before the form itself begins, and each afternoon offers drilling and free practice time in the shala to help what’s learned in the morning take hold.
About this Retreat
Your Guides
Master Li Shi Feng was born in Henan Province, China — the birthplace of Shaolin Kung Fu, Qigong, Taichi, and Chinese classical philosophy. He is co-founder of the Li Shifeng Kungfu Academy and the Zhong Jin Dao Training System, a body–mind–energy path rooted in balance, discipline, and internal cultivation. His teaching integrates traditional Shaolin training with the philosophical foundations of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
For more than a decade, Shifu Li has shared Shaolin, Qigong, Taichi, and classical Chinese philosophy with students from over 120 countries across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and beyond. His approach combines precise technical instruction with direct personal correction, guiding practitioners to develop structure, internal power, and clarity through authentic practice.
