I joined a weekly beginner's class at Natural Elements Tai Chi a few months ago with the hopes that regular balance work could aid me in a holistic personal-growth process, as well as looking to potentially evolve my practice into martial arts when the time is right. Shifu Paul's style of teaching is exactly what I was looking for. He builds students' awareness of Tai Chi from a perspective that is clearly rooted in a very solid understanding of the science of mind-body connection, delivered with a little humour and a lot of compassion. He is gifted in his ability to provide each student the precise attention they need at each stage of the process and his advice is clearly informed by a long history of experience as both a teacher and student himself. I have already noticed profound improvements to my wellbeing as a result of attending regular sessions. I feel lucky to be able to access this level of Tai Chi wisdom so locally to me.

I started Tai Chi last year and thoroughly enjoy the classes. I have found Tai Chi challenging, but Shifu Paul's teaching style means the classes are supportive, friendly and fun. I have a chronic condition and have been surprised at the health benefits Tai Chi has brought to me already, both physically and mentally. I am excited to continue my Tai Chi journey with Natural Elements.

I have a medical condition that is helped immensely by Tai Chi Chen style since beginning classes I have felt a special connection with Paul my instructor and really feel many benefits from physical well being to mental rejuvenation.

I took up Tai Chi , 7 years ago, because of recurrent back pain. I started Chen style Tai Chi with Shifu Paul Lockyer, and never looked back. Back pain gone, with regular practice. Over the years my practice and focus have evolved under the kind and professional supervision of Shifu Paul. I appreciate his way of teaching always back to principles. So much so that when I moved back to France , I asked Shifu Paul to stay her student.i am now a private distance learner for the past 2 years.

Professional guidance delivered with compassion.Paul has been guiding the group I am involved with for the past decade, the members are living with a progressive restrictive illness that responds so well to the teachings and principles of tai chi. Through Paul’s understanding and empathy, the members achieve an awareness of balance and stability and motivation.

Authentic Chen style Tai Chi taught by Shifu Paul Lockyer with integrity and passion. I've been a student for over 8 years. The practice has made a big difference to my health, core strength and flexibility. Highly recommend

I have been training with Shifu Paul for many years. Tai Chi is a a fantastic martial art for anyone of any age and ability and Paul supports his students while they progress at their own pace. Paul's passion, skill and dedication to Tai Chi is clear, however he teaches with a humble attitude, making everyone feel welcome & included, no matter what their physical ability is.

No nonsense advice. Enjoy the classes. Feel it helps my back following a back injury.
