About Learn Tai Chi

We have taught tai chi in Kochi since 2016. The school is small and deliberately so: we would rather teach forty people well than four hundred badly.

Our teacher

Classes are led by Meera Nair, who trained for eleven years in the Yang tradition and continues to study annually with her own teacher. She teaches slowly, repeats things often, and does not mind being asked the same question twice.

The style we teach

We teach the Yang short form, the most widely practised tai chi style in the world. It is gentle on the knees, works standing or seated, and suits people who have not exercised in years.

Who comes to class

Our students range from people in their twenties managing desk-job back pain to people in their seventies working on balance and confidence. Roughly half arrive having never done anything like this before.
