What a great write up in the local paper, and hopefully it will lead to more people doing more tai chi more often!

Tai Chi is as good as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for insomnia. But it’s heaps more fun!

Festivals like this are an opportunity to celebrate not only what we’ve achieved but also to enjoy each other’s achievements. Well done RMTC! I am so proud of each and every one of you. The Lions from were simply wonderful with their cheeky antics and up close and personal performance.

Rising Moon Tai Chi is the largest tai chi school on the Mornington Peninsula. The Rising Moon name and its logo was carefully designed to show the meaning behind tai chi: Referring to Yin and Yang, the moon signifies female, from the earth, rising to fuse with opposing forces to create energy and fullness. Within the logo, we see the fluidity of the Koi fish representing continuous change and adaptation. The circular pattern, based on Yin and Yang show that all things in life are connected. The black fish represents the overcoming of obstacles, strong in battle and strength through hardship. The red fish symbolises the love a mother has for her family. Strong, steadfast and brave.
Our classes
Classes are held in a relaxed and respectful environment. Usually conducted indoors, the session changes focus from individual and group work, to instructor led or student led exercises. It is a standing activity, requiring similar energy levels as a good walk. Of course, there are always chairs available if students would prefer this to standing.
Students are encouraged to leave their stress and worries at the door, to focus on the Tai Chi method, and to practice patience with themselves and each other. But above all, students are encouraged have fun and enjoy the learning experience.
Weather permitting, sessions can also be run outdoors, where the fresh air and beautiful surrounds can be enjoyed.
Classes run for an hour or 45 minutes, and begin with the salute and warm-up exercises, followed by either a Tai Chi form, Shibashi or Qigong, depending upon the session.The class concludes with another salute, where students and instructor bow as a sign of mutual respect.
Social activities and community events are always enjoyed within the group and lunches, outings and morning teas are organised throughout the year. All are welcome, including friends and families of students.
Our aims and philosophy
To fill the need within the community for a sound, holistic approach to health and well being through the practice of Tai Chi, Qigong and Shibashi.
