Elements Tai Chi was founded by Bridget Morris, a former contemporary dancer from the United States. Bridget discovered Tai Chi as a result of an injury. Suffering from pinched nerves in her neck and spine, it was recommended to her as therapy. On her first try, she wasn't able to do more than 5 minutes before her symptoms worsened. It took a few months before the nerves had healed enough for her to try again.

Eventually Bridget enrolled at the British Tai Chi Academy in Leamington Spa. The classes helped to rebuild her strength and improve her alignment until she was fully recovered. The health benefits that she

experienced as a practitioner, lead her to pursue certification as an instructor.
