Chen-style tai chi in the Zhu Tiancai lineage, taught through a ten-week beginner program aligned with WA school terms — posture, breathing, silk reeling and the 13 Postures routine — at Troy Park in Attadale on Saturday mornings, with a second venue in Safety Bay. Beginner classes run on donation; annual membership is $40.
A martial arts school teaching tai chi and qigong alongside kung fu for more than twenty years, with academies in Balcatta and Fremantle. The tai chi and qigong streams sit at the wellness end of the practice — slow-form work for balance, breath and focus, for adults and children.
Four instructors, four styles — Sun with Rod Hardwick, Wu with Shirley Owen, Chen with Zhou Lee and Yang with Mark O'Shea — teaching from Rossmoyne's scout hall and primary school. The gentle Balance program on Friday mornings is built for over-50s, while the structured Pathway levels run Saturday mornings and Monday evenings from beginner through advanced. Corporate classes and online videos round it out.

As of October 2026, 3 of the 80 Mind & Mental Wellbeing listings on Oria Haven are in this view (Perth) — counted live from the directory.
Every listing is hand-checked by Oria Haven. Figures updated 8 October 2026.
Most relevant means practices that specialise in this first, then the ones with the most reviews to go on. A listing that publishes its price, describes itself and names its services gets a small nudge, never more than a quarter of a star, because you can decide on it without ringing. Paid placements are shown once, in their own band, and never move anyone up the list.

The guide
Three quite different things share this shelf, and timetables rarely say which one you are booking.
Meditation classes are usually guided sittings — someone talks, you sit, it lasts half an hour to an hour. Mindfulness is more often taught as a course over six or eight weeks with the same group each time, and the practice is homework between sessions rather than the session itself. Breathwork is the physically demanding one: sustained patterned breathing that can leave your hands tingling and your emotions closer to the surface than you expected. Counselling and coaching are one-to-one and booked like an appointment.
On practicalities: several Perth sittings are free or by donation, and those tend to be the volunteer-run ones rather than the studios. Courses ask you to commit to the whole run and usually cost less per session than dropping in. Breathwork facilitators generally ask about pregnancy, heart conditions and epilepsy before a first session, so expect that question and answer it honestly.
Related: meditation classes, mindfulness coaching, breathwork, counselling, and yoga and movement.

The Oria reading list
Practical guides to help you choose your next tai chi in perth experience.
Oria Haven lists 3 practices across 3 suburbs in the Perth metro. Every entry is checked by hand before it goes live, and the list is updated as practices open, move or close.
We build the directory ourselves rather than taking paid submissions, so a practice appears because it exists and serves Perth — not because it paid. Practices can claim their listing for nothing and keep it accurate, photos included. Paid plans add booking links, offers and visitor stats. We never take a cut of bookings, and enquiries go straight to the practice.
