Andy Spragg has been practising Tai Chi, focusing on the Yang Tai Chi style (as taught by Cheng man Ch’ing), for 20 years. Andy is a practising Buddhist and his main focus is the synergy between Tai Chi and Buddhism, particularly Buddhist meditation. He uses his Tai Chi as a central part of his Buddhist practice. He also writes Buddhist articles which put across some of the more complex elements of Buddhist practice in a more accessible manner. He is determined to show that Buddhism can be practiced successfully in our modern, busy world. His teaching style is relaxed, light and informal. He focuses on the principles and feeling of Tai Chi rather than exact positioning. This is a more gentle approach to the usual and traditional focus on exact body positions and is very appropriate for beginners looking to experience the art for the first time but also for those looking to delve a little deeper. However, the focus for his teaching is on health, well-being and meditation.
