A taster introductory session to Tai-Chi led by Bruce our experienced instructor.

This taster is a precursor to our 8-week course starting on Friday the 7th of June. You are welcome to come along to this taster session and the 8-week course, or just come along to the taster to see what Tai Chi is like.

All abilities are welcome.

As an introduction to Tai-Chi, he will be teaching the ‘Ba Men’ (which translates as 8 Gates). This is a short sequence of 8 moves which train the basic principles or energies of Tai Chi.

The moves of the Ba Men are fairly easy to learn – at the start, as one learns the movements the practice is gentle, opening the joints, building a more connected body etc but it can also be practised in a way that’s much harder and while one is still moving slowly it provides much more of a workout – so it can be tailored to the needs of those attending without the need to teach different things to different people.

This class will be taking place outside, on top of Haydon Batch with beautiful views of the Somer Valley to look out upon whilst practising.

This class is for adults only.
