DurationPractising Tai Chi helps with balance, coordination and develops core and leg strength. Tai Chi challenges us to learn through direct experience, harnessing and balance the mind-body connection and enhancing mental function and flexibility. By learning new movements, which are often counter-intuitive to our habitual way of moving, we begin an inner journey towards self-knowledge when learning the practice, an inner harmony, stillness and unity.
In this introductory class in Sydney, students will explore how to release stress, relax the mind and body, to breathe from the abdomen, to open the joints for a greater range of motion, and to develop postural and body awareness through the ancient practice of Tai Chi.
The Chen style of Tai Chi taught in this class is known for its twisting and silk-reeling movements. Our Western understanding of Tai Chi is often limited to it being a form of gentle slow physical exercise with music practised by groups of people in parks. Students are sometimes surprised to discover that it is both a healing and martial art as well.

Our History
Starting from humble beginnings in 1986 with just a telephone and a small office, Sydney Community College was founded based on a NSW government policy direction to better use NSW State Schools.
The idea was to create a place where the community could come together to learn, share ideas, and develop new skills. Sydney Community College was created when Cleveland Street Evening College and Leichhardt Evening College amalgamated.
Since that time, it has operated across the Inner City, the CBD and the Inner West and now, online.
Initially, the College offered courses in Arts, Business, Languages, Lifestyle, Handcrafts, and Sport. In 2010, the College won a tender to renovate and manage a large tennis facility in Camperdown, which became the Sydney Centre for Tennis.
Over the years, the College has expanded its offerings to include a wide range of topics, including cooking, photography, gardening, writing, and business training options.
The College became a Registered Training Organisation in 1998 and has won both State and National awards like Provider of the Year (NSW) and Programme of the Year (National).
The College focus proudly remains as the provision of Quality Continuing Adult Education. It operates as a not-for-profit company, and in 2021 became a registered charity.
Today, Sydney Community College is one of the largest and most respected community colleges in Australia, offering over 350 courses each year. It continues to be a leader in adult education, providing high-quality, practical, and engaging courses to people from all backgrounds.
