- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 03 Jul, 2025 at 03:00 pm – Sun, 06 Jul, 2025 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Welcome to an intensive four-day workshop at the Nøsen Retreat Centre in the Norwegian mountains. Ann will guide participants through the basic principles of Tai Chi Grammar, an instrument that helps us become more fluent and fluid in our movement. The approach is systematic, but also playful and very interactive, giving participants tools and concepts they can use to enhance their practice. Expect to work in pairs and threes to test out ideas. The workshop is open for anyone who has learned the tai chi set, as well as experienced practitioners.

Tai Chi Grammar:
In language, grammar is the underlying structure guiding and informing the way we speak. Once we speak a language, we no longer need the grammar. But while we are learning, grammar is a tool; it helps us along the way. Likewise, Tai Chi Grammar is an explanatory framework that aims to give students, both veteran practitioners and people newer to the art, a way to deepen their understanding of the movement, to gain autonomy in their own practice, and to connect to the spine.
A resident of Norway since 1996, Ann Danaiya Usher began her practice of tai chi in the style of Moy Lin Shin in the early 1980s in Montréal. She has taught classes and workshops in Canada, Sweden, England and Norway. Over the last decade, she has been investigating the internal structures of tai chi, in search of a methodology to inform her own practice and to ground her teaching. This pursuit has resulted in the development of a set of principles – a “grammar” of tai chi.

This workshop will take place over four days. It is both for people who have just learned the set and for experienced practitioners. We will go step by step through the first principles of Tai Chi Grammar, finding applications in the set and making concepts relevant to each student’s practice and individual challenges. The workshop will consist of six 3-hour sessions with the possibility for exchange, free practice, play, and discussion in the evenings. Each day, there will be a long break for lunch and rest, with time to explore the spectacular surroundings. July is the height of the Norwegian summer; the days are long and sunsets last well past 11 pm.
