This is for the students who started in January, but will also be open to a few new students. It could be suitable for you if you have done a little Tai Chi before, and\or are able to follow moves easily.
(Note that if you are a complete beginner and have limited movement then you may be better waiting for the beginners class in September, but do ring and talk to me about it.

Friday 10.00am - 11.00 am New Beginners class including Paul Lam's Tai Chi for Arthritis form.
What kind of Tai Chi is this... Is it for me?
The beginners course is for complete beginners and includes a very short Tai Chi form called “Tai Chi for Arthritis” (TCA) devised by Australian physician Dr Paul Lam. In addition, I include elements of Qigong - gentle exercises which include a focus on breathing and relaxation.
It is not necessary to have arthritis to enjoy the class! However, the class is most suitable for those who are either complete beginners in Tai Chi, or do not have high levels of fitness or flexibility, or those who have difficulty remembering sequences of movements. All students are encouraged to work within their own range of movement. Clothing should be loose and comfortable, with flat comfortable shoes or trainers.
