Xmas 2026 Newsletter
Dear Students, Instructors and Friends,
As the year draws to a close and we enter the festive season of Christmas and the New Year, it is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on and celebrate what we have achieved together. While this year has presented its challenges, our Tai Chi Australia community has continued to grow in strength and unity.
