VIRTUAL CLASSES ONLINE
Train with online clips OR clips PLUS periodic Sifu Saturday. And Ongoing Qigenic™ classes are the first three Tues and Thurs every month.
Tai Chi is not only relaxing and captivating, it is a true, internal energy art and it is taught from that point of view at Ranna Tai Chi. This Traditional Tai Chi training approach is anchored in traditional principles which incorporate Qi Gong standing practice, Yang family styles of solo long forms - Yang Cheng Fu and Yang Lo Chan, and two-person Tui Shou training. The therapeutic aspects of Tai Chi are taught in parallel to the martial aspects. The inseparable martial and therapeutic aspects of Tai Chi are beneficial and transformative.
"Be still like a mountain. Move like a flowing river."
Traditional Tai Chi is communicated person-to-person, by example. Training is conducted as in traditional times in China: Participants gather to train in Tai Chi for the love of this internal energy art. The challenge is the Tai Chi itself and training at Ranna Tai Chi is not affiliated with any organization or hierarchy. Instead, in keeping with the fact that Tai Chi is an internal energy art, students in Ranna's classes are encouraged to approach their practice as a commitment to themselves, not to externals such as hierarchies, associations, belts or gradings.
The motto at Ranna Tai Chi is "Let the Tai Chi teach you itself."

Photo: Dr Ranna Lachlan
(Instructor Black Belt/ 8th degree. PhD.)
Ranna trained with Master Ian Garbett in Australia, a true exemplar of the "warriror's way" - someone who was not known widely but superior in all aspects of his martial arts prowess. She earned black belt/ 8th degree Instructor status from Master Garbett in 1986 (through a newly formed alliance at that time with the Montaigue School of Tai Chi & Bagua, Australia). Master Garbett was a senior and more experienced teacher who forged links with other schools for the benefit of his students.
Ranna teaches Tai Chi and Chi Kung (Qi Gong) in the USA and Australia.
Dr Lachlan is also a Board Certified Polarity Practitioner, and registered Rotai™-USA practitioner - which explains her heightened focus on the healing aspects of Tai Chi and Qi Gong in training.
