Emma has over 14 years’ experience teaching Tai Chi & Qigong and prides herself on knowing everyone's names helping to make them friendly, positive, happy classes! I am one of only a handful of instructors permitted to be able to teach the Tai Chi Qigong energy system created by Joe Lok.

Emma Cooke, instructor at Tai Chi For You, is honoured to be Master Joe Lok's Indoor Student.  She is now the 28th Generation Inheritor of Wudang Sanfeng Natural and 20th Generation Inheritor of Dragon Gate & 2nd Generation Inheritor of Natural Energy Daogong . This is a huge honour and will only ever be for the few.  It is not decided on ability only but on character, kindness and dedication.  We are dedicated to his Qigong system and continuing his pursuit to contribute to the good health of all.  I will continue to pass on Master Joe Lok's work to contribute to good health of all, see my Udemy course on the basic stance (details above), his website www.joelok.com or www.phoenixqigong.org

We are also qualified to teach several of Dr Paul Lam's Tai Chi for Health programs, including Yang 24. All forms of Tai Chi Chaun are good for your health, but what we particularly like about Dr Lam's programs is he has made them accessible to all. In his forms, he has removed the lower stances and high kicks that some forms have. He has developed forms that are quick to pick up and not as complex as some. It uses smooth gentle flowing movements designed to improve agility. 

Furthermore, we run weapons workshops, introducing either the fan form or stick.

For your information we are qualified Natural Energy Academy &  Tai Chi For Health Instructors and are Members of the Tai Chi Union For Great Britain. Hold HSE certified Emergency First Aiders and hold insurance for our classes.
