Tai Chi is a form of exercise and moving meditation with its origins in ancient China. It has been practiced for centuries as a therapeutic, healing art as well as an effective Martial Art. Its movements are careful, precise and considered and provide the perfect antidote to the stresses and anxieties of our busy modern lives. You will learn a set of exercises known as Qigong that work on opening and aligning the body’s meridians, developing good posture and breathing. These exercises work alongside the Tai Chi Form that makes up the training syllabus.
Our Tai Chi classes promote:
- Good Health
- An Aware and Focused Mind
- Less Stress and Anxiety
- Good Core Strength
- Improved Posture and Balance
- Confidence, Self-esteem & Self defence
EXERCISE FOR LIFE
Instead of jarring, high-intensity exercises, Tai Chi uses low-impact, slow moving, naturally flowing movements that are done carefully and mindfully. Movements are usually circular in nature and muscles are relaxed during the exercises. Since it is such a gentle flowing exercise, it offers benefits for people at all fitness levels – from young practitioners to older adults to those living with chronic pain.
BEGINNERS WELCOME
Our relaxed and friendly classes are based on the Yang style of Tai Chi. The classes follow a carefully structured syllabus that ensures you will be able to develop your skills at your own pace. From your first lesson you will be shown simple exercises and routines that will lead to better balance, posture, increased strength and flexibility and a calmer, more focussed mind.
