Tai Chi for Beginners - Weds 11 April - Inspire Dance Studio

Pretty much everyone who's come along to my Chi Kung Plus classes has been more interested in learning Tai Chi, so that's how I'm going to focus them now.
NEXT CLASS: Wednesday 11 April at Inspire Dance Studio, 7pm to 8pm.
I was looking for good images to use for posters and flyers, and some brilliant cat photos came up on Facebook. It's interesting that a lot of Tai Chi and other martial art movements come from the observation of animals: the snake fighting the crane, the "animal frolics", and so on.

These classes are for complete beginners, and all ages and fitness levels. I've split the form I learned up into easy-to-learn chunks so that you will have something to practise straightaway. Though this makes it as simple as possible, and it's intended to be fun, there are many immediate benefits from learning Tai Chi: improved balance, suppleness, relaxation, better energy and much more. It might have its roots many hundreds of years ago in the mountains of China but Tai Chi is as relevant, or maybe even more so, than ever in a crazy, stressful world.
