Bathgate

Hello, My name is John Bunyan I teach the Wudang style of Tai Chi Chuan as a complete Martial Arts system. I teach all 5 elements of Tai Chi Chuan: Hand Form Pushing Hands Self Defence Weapons (Sword, Sabre and Spear) Internal Strength I’ve been studying Dan Docherty’s Practical Tai Chi Chuan style since 1990 and teaching in the UK for the last 25 years. I am a certified level 8 Chief Instructor of this style (see resource on the menu for Instructor levels) and a Tai Chi & Qigong Union for Great Britain senior instructor. Students of other styles who want to learn more about the martial side of Tai Chi Chuan are welcome. Tai Chi Chuan We train using the hand form and pushing hands, but we also learn the self-defence applications, which is where the hand form was derived from. Learning the applications also helps with focus when practising the hand form. We use other training techniques such as running thunder hand, pad work, 5 element arm, San shou etc. The Spear, Sabre and Sword are taught as forms with applications. Tai Chi for Health Using the hand form our aim is to offer a series of flowing, connected movements that help improve balance, coordination, posture and circulation. It also helps to relax the mind as well as the body. The hand form is a type of moving meditation. We also use pushing hands. These are partner drills used to train whole body coordinated movements. They are beneficial because you are training to move with your partner, not against them. 8 Pieces of Brocade Qigong is taught to help improve movement in the body’s joints. To stimulate the nervous system and circulation. Students who are practising for the health-giving aspects are always welcome to join in and learn the martial aspects of the art.

London

The Sunflower Effect is a proven confidence-building system based in an adapted form of drama, that has been transforming the lives of quiet, reserved and introverted people since 1997.  It was developed by Claire Schrader, the UK's leading confidence expert in the area of shyness, social anxiety and self-consciousness. Say goodbye to inhibitions, self-consciousness and develop a natural and authentic self-confidence the fast, fun and easier way. You will discover that it is not just the outgoing, go-getting, socialites that get along in this world. There is a very high success rate from the Sunflower Effect Confidence Courses i.e. overcoming anxiety, speaking up in groups, socialising, networking or advancing your career prospects. And a 100% money-back guarantee (conditions apply). Connect with others who are experiencing the same issues: shyness, self-consciousness, fear of speaking in groups, social anxiety, and other confidence issues. Unlike other confidence-building courses that teach you a series of techniques that you will quickly forget, the Sunflower Effect Confidence Courses work in a unique way. They work through an adapted form of drama that enables you to work from the inside to shift habitual behaviours and mindset. Currently, all in-person courses take place in Central London. But the effects can just as powerful through the Sunflower Effect online courses and individual sessions. All online courses are on Zoom which means that you will be meeting online with Claire Schrader and other participants in a private interface through the Zoom platform. ABOUT CLAIRE SCHRADER Claire Schrader has developed one of the fastest ways for quieter people to break out of their shell and develop an effortless self-confidence through her confidence-building system, the Sunflower Effect. She started out in life as a shy introvert until she discovered the way out through drama, theatre and improvisation.  She creates a very safe place for her students to break out of their shell at their own pace and in their own way. She has been featured on Sky TV and BBC Radio World Services. In 2021 she launched the first Sunflower Effect Confidence Course Leader Training and so we will have more facilitators offering courses. Please get in touch about the next Confidence Course Leader Training.

Isleworth

Elite Cricket Performance Academy is a learning space for Youths to attend high standards of Cricket using new techniques and technology through a continual, structured improvement process. Our primary objective is to complement the excellent work undertaken by Schools, Clubs, Districts and County programmes in the delivery of high-quality cricket coaching. Our experienced, industry professional coaches are passionate about delivering the best for our students, ensuring that we can enhance their play to reach their optimal potential. Our services are tailored to suit the students and our structured, long term programmes are available during evenings, weekends and school breaks, accommodating for all. Elite Cricket Performance Academy has been formed by a group of experienced coaches who have worked in multiple County pathways, providing a broad scope of instruction and practice for the players. Our goal is to create a positive learning environment for players and help them play to their strengths, work on their weaknesses and understand ‘their game’ in depth. As an Academy, our fundamentals for the sport are derived from Biomechanics, but every player is uniquely individual, so not all will be taught to bowl or bat exactly in the same manner. We believe in empowering the players and use modern methods of coaching, taken from Tennis, Hurling, Baseball, Football, Basketball and applying them to Cricket providing players with multiple tools. Through tactical sessions, the players explore how they might want to use those tools and which is the most appropriate for them at any given time.

Dovestone Coaching

Ashton Under Lyne

My name is Jo and I'm the owner of Dovestone Coaching.  I have been a coaching for five years and have been a fully qualified coach for three years.  I run webinars, workshops and conduct personal coaching sessions.   I work with people who are stuck due to unhelpful thoughts and feelings.  Using techniques based on Acceptance and Commitment Coaching and Training [http://dovestonecoaching-com.stackstaging.com/faq/] (ACT) I help them unhook from these unwanted thoughts. By creating some distance between them and their thoughts they can respond more flexibly, giving freedom from their inner critic. ACT is a well-evidenced psychological framework to help people move forward and reduce the struggle in their life. I don’t just coach clients on ACT – I use these techniques myself every single day.  I am a member of The Association Of Coaching as I believe in maintaining professional standards and continue to develop my skills through training and education.  I must admit, I don’t do extreme sports, go to huge music festivals, or explore exotic places. You won’t see photos of me hanging off rocks, in a Porsche, doing a triathlon or in the executive suite of a posh hotel drinking champagne, because that’s just not me. Instead, I value the everyday things. Things like date nights, a glass of wine with friends, relaxing with a favourite book or playing with the kids. There’s magic in the everyday, I’ve found. It’s being present in these little, day-to-day things – the people and places that really matter to me – that makes my life rich and fulfilling.

Scottish Cut Flowers

It’s our vision to help our customers reduce their environmental footprint giving them the choice to buy home-grown flowers over imported foreign flowers. This small decision will have a big impact on the reduction of carbon emissions from unhealthy production techniques and transport fumes. We strive to continually reduce our environmental footprint by choosing recyclable or compostable packaging, streamlining deliveries, avoiding synthetic chemicals like the plague and whenever possible sourcing product from within Britain, Scotland ideally. Farming counterintuitively can be detrimental to the land, I’m talking about the huge hedge-less fields, large machinery and single crop type of farming you see everywhere. At SCF we aim to be the opposite of that, we have 50+ different varieties of flowers for the wildlife to feed and live from, we use minimum till methods to protect the important worm population, we use compost to add fertility, and beneficial insects rather than synthetic chemicals to control pests and weed suppression material to negate the need for weed killer. We feel it is our duty as custodians of the land to help in the fight to save the bees, this year we will be undertaking a bee keeping course and hope to establish our hives by mid-summer. With such an abundance of flowers and surrounding fields, we should be able to provide a sanctuary for at least a couple of hives which will increase the pollination of those surrounding food crops. We are buzzing!
