Tai Chi Summer Taster [SSK]

Course intent

Tai Chi is an ancient oriental art that over time helps revitalise mind, body and spirit through the learning and practice of “the form” (set sequences of movements performed slowly with precision).

What will we cover?

On this one-off summer session

You will be learning the form and deepen your awareness of your body, weight, alignment and how to move in space. Exercises are repeated frequently to consolidate learning and improve performance skills. Your tutor may include Qigong exercises, which are complementary to the Tai Chi forms.

Who is this course for? Is there anything I need to know before joining?

This session is open to everyone of all abilities. We welcome absolute beginners and learners already enrolled on our courses. The tutor will ensure it is the right level for you. This taster is taught in English.

You will be asked to complete a Pre-Exercise Check List at the start of the course so that the tutor knows your current health needs and abilities. If you have mild to moderate health/mobility issues, your tutor should be able to suggest adaptations to enable you to enjoy the benefits of this summer session.

What do I need to bring to the first class? Will there be any extra costs?

Please wear comfortable, loose clothing, that will allow you to raise your arms above your head. Tai Chi is practised in bare feet/socks/soft soled shoes.

What can I do when I finish the course?

We hope to see you on one of our Yoga courses in the Autumn. Please do look at the website.
