Tai Chi Taster Class
2024-09-10 11:30 - 12:30 | Somer Centre, Gullock Tyning, Midsomer Norton, BA3 2UH, United Kingdom
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 Tuesday the 17th September. 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, Bruce 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 inside the Somer centre, small hall or on the lawned area just outside the Somer centre, if the weather allows.
We will be meeting in the Somer Centre, Gullock Tyning, Midsomer Norton, Radstock, BA3 2UH.
This class is for adults only.

Tai Chi 8-Week Course
2024-10-29 11:30 - 12:30 | Somer Centre, Gullock Tyning, Midsomer Norton, BA3 2UH, United Kingdom
An 8-week beginner’s Tai Chi course for people interested in trying something new! Taking place at the Somer Centre, near Midsomer Norton Town Park. This course is led by an experienced Tai Chi instructor, Bruce.
All abilities are welcome.
Bruce 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 inside the Somer centre, small hall or on the lawned area just outside the Somer centre, if the weather allows.
We will be meeting at the Somer Centre, Gullock Tyning, Midsomer Norton, Radstock, BA3 2UH. We will meet in the small hall, ready to begin at 11.30am.
This class is for adults only.
Class dates;

Tuesday 29th October
Tuesday 5th November
