Angus Clark encourages an inclusive and welcoming environment, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and supported.

The classes at Living Movement cover a variety of practises. Students can learn the Tai Chi Essence, a collection of moves and exercises, as well as the classic Dr. Chi/Cheng Man-Ching Short Form and the Long Form. Additionally, there are opportunities to explore Tai Chi Sword, White Crane Qigong, and the two-person practises of San Shou (dance), Da Lu, and Pushing Hands.

The school also hosts outdoor practises, believing that the connexion to nature enhances the Tai Chi experience. The annual Four Seasons Chi Walks take place at Andrew's Wood in South Devon, providing a beautiful backdrop for the practise. These walks occur throughout the year, aligning with the natural cycles of the seasons. Participants can enjoy the uplifting benefits of green exercise and time in nature while supporting the Devon Wildlife Trust's 'Saving Devon's Treescapes Project'.
