A centuries-old practice, a modern “reset”: Shan Club's Tai Chi session draws a crowd at The Grand Tarabya

The signature session pairing Tai Chi with nervous-system breathwork drew more than 30 participants; it has since become a weekly programme.

On 20 June 2026, hosted by The Grand Tarabya Managed by Accor, Shan Club's “Tai Chi & Nervous System Reset” Signature Session introduced participants to the calming power of a centuries-old movement practice.

Shan Club is a venture founded by partners Esat Ataç and Duygu Sancaklı Dandin. The day opened with a talk by Duygu Sancaklı Dandin, then Esat Ataç led the session.

Esat Ataç: “There is no hurry in Tai Chi; every movement begins and ends with the breath. As you slow down, the body softens and the mind settles — forcing nothing, only allowing.”

Following the response, the session became a weekly programme on Tuesdays, 09:00–10:00.
