# Lishi Daoist Tai Chi, Yoga, Meditation and Kung Fu – Manchester
Lishi Daoist offers beginner-friendly introductions to traditional Taoist practices across four Manchester locations: Chorlton, Withington, Firswood/Stretford, and Salford. The business serves adults seeking to improve their physical health, mental wellbeing, and spiritual development through ancient Eastern disciplines.
The school teaches Tai Chi, Taoist Yoga, Qigong, moving meditation, Dao Yin breathing techniques, and self-defence principles rooted in Tai Chi philosophy. Participants report benefits including better sleep, reduced stress, improved flexibility, enhanced energy levels, and a sense of community connection.
What sets Lishi Daoist apart is the exceptional credentials of its instructors. Clive and Wan-Ley bring over 60 years of combined experience studying and teaching these arts. Both discovered these practices in their early twenties and have trained with masters worldwide, teaching across multiple countries. Their personal commitment to the discipline—evidenced by decades of continuous practice—provides authentic, knowledgeable instruction grounded in genuine mastery rather than superficial qualification.
The business adopts an accessible approach to traditionally complex practices. Rather than overwhelming beginners with intensive sessions, they offer four-week taster courses at £39 (33% discount), allowing students to develop foundational understanding before deeper commitment. The flexible attendance policy—carrying over missed classes—removes barriers to participation, demonstrating genuine care for student progression over purely transactional relationships.
