Chi Clinic Tai Chi & Qigong

Fantastic experience: Simply the best! I have known Vicky and Tony for many years and studied with both of them: they have changed my life and given me a different view of life. Genuine and inspirational.

Fantastic experience: Without exception, every fellow student of the Chi Clinic learning Tai Chi and Qigong shares my view that we are very fortunate to have Vicky Ahern as our senior instructor. Vicky exudes authority when she teaches since she studied under direct descendents of Tai Chi masters. However, she always teaches with a smile and with true understanding that even movements that look simple can take years to perfect. Hence, Vicky is able to inspire students of all abilities. I am in my fifth year of learning. I started when I was already just over 70. I have a tendency to be an over-keen learner attending 2 classess a week and am never satisfied with my own progress. I am truly thankful to Vicky for her patience with me. Learning Tai Chi and Qigong is a journey well worth pursuing and I would highly recommend the Chi Clinic without hesitiation. Kin Huang, Cheam

Fantastic experience: Wonderful. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease 9 years ago. On the advice of my Consultant, I started Tai Chi. 4 years ago by joining this group. It has without doubt slowed down my physical degeneration with this condition. Vicky is very caring and understanding about some of the issues I have e.g. Tremors and encourages me to relax and enjoy the classes, which I do very much. Cannot recommend highly enough Thx Vick x

Fantastic experience: Five stars is not enough! I first contacted Vicky about Tai Chi and Qigong classes three years ago, when my mother was diagnosed with early Alzheimer’s. I was immediately struck by Vicky’s warmth, empathy, sympathy, compassion and kindness. Suffering from a chronic autoimmune condition myself, resulting in aches, pains, weakness and fatigue, I quickly realised that I too should give it a go. In short, Tai Chi and Qigong with Vicky has changed my life. Having always found conventional exercise difficult, and often exhausting, Tai Chi and Qigong was a revelation. Without me noticing, my strength, stamina, mood, and energy levels have all vastly improved. Friends and family have all commented that I seem stronger, calmer, happier, that I’m even walking taller! I can feel it too! Vicky fills her classes with warmth, positivity, and love, spreading the Qi to everyone. Her joy, love and respect for the discipline is infectious. I look forward to continuing to practice Tai Chi and Qigong, with my mother, for a long time to come! Thank you Vicky!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful treatment with Tony and left feeling energised and balanced. The treatment room has fantastic calming energy and Tony has magical hands. I would highly recommend visiting the Chi Clinic.

Fantastic experience: If you could award more than 5 stars I would. Love tai chi, love Vicky. I would recommend to anyone wanting to relax, feel healthy in mind and body, in a calm supportive environment. Your fellow classmates are pretty wonderful too!!

Fantastic experience: I have had wonderful sessions with Vicky enjoying Tai chi in its various forms, for all its benefits after suffering a bad back, neck and shoulder - the health exercises help me enormously and I can now touch my toes!! Vicky is kind and thoughtful and makes us all relax at ease. I am also enjoying her stick class which takes me out of my comfort zone

Fantastic experience: I have been in Vicky’s tai chi and qigong classes for well over 10 years. Her teaching is gentle, empathetic and thorough. She has learned from the great Chinese masters, studied with them at the university in Beijing and shared her deep knowledge and understanding with us. Tai chi and qigong are the best ways to keep oneself healthy physically, mentally and emotionally. I travel many miles to stay in Vicky’s classes despite having moved away from Sutton.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Vicky’s workshops for about two years now at The Chi Clinic, so when she started zoom classes in the last 3 months I jumped at the chance It is possibly one of the most important things that has kept my mental health and wellbeing so well during this lockdown. I have gained so much from the twice weekly classes, I have loved learning so much more, I have felt myself, slow down, calm down and go more inside. It sets me up for the rest of the day. I have practised about 5/6 days a week and I can’t tell you how much benefit I have gained from this. I cannot thank you enough. You are an amazing teacher, I love your humour, your clear teaching methods and how you explain so much. I learn so much from you. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Vicky’s tai chi classes for more than ten years, a recommendation in itself. She is an excellent, empathetic teacher who always makes everyone feel welcome, whatever their previous experience of tai chi. I have particularly valued her wide knowledge of different tai chi and chi gong forms and have really enjoyed challenging myself to learn new forms. Thank you, Vicky!
