Author Information

Lucy Gardner was born in South Africa to English/Welsh parents, grew up in South East England and spent fourteen years living in Northern Scotland. She finds it difficult to answer when asked where she's from. Late in 2007 she discovered tai chi and soon everything changed. She found a tai chi school, started with once a week classes and soon began practising at home most days. She sought out more and more classes. She read widely. Within two years she had abandoned home and marriage. After three years she packed in her career in insurance and travelled to China to study tai chi full time. So far she hasn't gone back to conventional living, but spends her time travelling between Europe and Asia with her partner Frederick Behar, a French tai chi teacher. She is a registered tai chi instructor with the Tai Chi Union of Great Britain. Lucy continues to study tai chi and a variety of other subjects which she finds complement the practice. If you search, she says You can relate tai chi principles to just about everything.
