Instructor - Tom Gold-Blyth
Having discovered Tai Chi as a student in 1985, I loved the unique combination of relaxation and energy development and went on to study with Gerda Geddes, Kinthissa and Tew Bunnag. In 1992 with increasing involvement in the world of commerce and London's dance culture I decided to take a break from Tai Chi. In 1998 I reconnected with Tai Chi and soon started attending training events with Master San Gee Tam. I found the Golden Flower curriculum to be highly effective for both personal development and cultivation of happy chi. I was inspired by Master San Gee Tam's teaching and by the strong sense of community that thrives in the school. In 2005 I qualified as a Golden Flower Instructor and am now teaching classes in Oxford. In all my classes I aim for students to experience both the fun and lightness of playing Tai Chi whilst also giving insight into the depth of experience and development that is available.

Instructor - Cindy Wansbury
In 2008 I qualified as a Golden Flower Instructor after 7 exciting years, in which I have travelled to Belgium the Netherlands, America and Siberia, to study with Master San Gee Tam and to practice Tai Chi with fellow students. My travels have given me a strong appreciation of the value of the community we have created in the school, which supports us all in everything we do. This sense of community is something I wish to bring to my own classes.
During my journey I have seen how my Tai Chi practice has instigated many subtle transformations in my life and the way I respond to it, leaving me with a deepening sense of joy and harmony with the world around me.
Master San Gee Tams’ teachings of Tai Chi as a method of self-integration have been a real inspiration. This interest in self-awareness has led me to work more recently with other teachers in this field. As I continue along this path I wish to share what I have learned and to be a positive presence and support to those around me.
Instructor - Heike Waters
My Tai Chi Journey started in 1992, when I went to a class in Croydon with Paul Brewer with the aim to learn to relax. I got a lot more into the bargain - it helped me to be not just much more relaxed but to be more focused, centred and balanced in my whole being. As a physiotherapist I also very much appreciated the Health aspect of Tai Chi. I continued my practise after moving to Chichester in 1994, but also noticed that I needed a class to progress my studies. I tried a few classes until I came across the Golden Flower Classes run by Martin and Tricia Pomroy in 1996.
Over time being a student turned into assisting more and more and I became involved in the Instuctors training going to Retreats and Trainings in Holland, Belgium and America. I trained with the Chief Instructor Job Koesoemobroto and then with the Master of the school San Gee Tam. I qualified as a Golden Flower Instructor in 2005.
I am continually inspired by Master San Gee Tam’s teaching and the curriculum the school offers: personal development in any aspect of life and the cultivation of Happy Chi. I also enjoy the great sense of community and friendship in the school.
In my classes I aim to reflect these aspects so that students can benefit from Tai Chi as much as I do, having fun and enjoyment, depth of experience and also being able to allow personal development.
I live in Chichester and I am married with two young children.
