My classes have always been inclusive, welcoming all ages, physical abilities and disabilities.
Yes we can and do spend the hour standing but not always. Sometimes we start sitting.
Chairs are available and are used when necessary by class members when they feel it's the right thing to do in the moment.
Gentle, soft movement coordinated with breathing can be done standing or sitting.

Relax, breathe, move.

New Year’s resolutions. How are they going?
The bigger they are the harder they are to keep.

They are likely to be physical, exercising, gym, running, cycling, walking; or dieting for weight loss or more healthy eating.

Then there are the ‘intellectual’ challenges; more reading, a qualification or learning a new skill.

How about slowing down and relaxing. Ever thought of this type of resolution? Not relaxing in front of the tv or reading a book but slowing down and relaxing from within, mentally and physically.

Getting away from our busy external worlds and being comfortable with your internal self; releasing tension, relaxing muscles and thoughts then focussing on yourself both in stillness and with gentle movement.

Slowing down and discovering some physical and mental calmness leading to an improvement in mental and physical well-being.

No fitness is required and although standing is involved much can be done sitting.

Tranquility.

George Ward Centre, Barwell
Tuesday 7.00-8.00pm

£6.00 for each class so pay as you go (or come!).

The tai chi style we do is Lee Family style which originated about 1000 years BC so it’s been around for a while.

Gentle movements matched to breathing; relaxed concentration.
Move, breathe, relax.

No fitness required, suitable for all ages.

What are the benefits? Google it(!) or give me a call. Class members tell of improvement in body, mind and emotions but I don’t advertise or guarantee them.
