This friendly tai chi class offers a relaxed way to introduce gentle exercise into a weekly routine. It is welcoming to older adults and those new to tai chi, and provides a calm social space for parents juggling family life and caring responsibilities.
What to Expect
Expect a slow, low impact session focused on balance, breathing and mobility that suits beginners and regulars alike. The class is designed to be gentle but effective, helping to improve posture and coordination while reducing stress.
You will experience guided sequences led by an instructor with pauses to explain movements. Benefits include improved balance, increased flexibility and a chance to socialise with other local residents.
Typical sessions include warm up, practice of flowing movements and a cool down. Bring comfortable clothing and flat shoes or go barefoot if preferred.
