Tai Chi Harmonies - Downton

Downton, Memorial Hall

Learn how to Harmonise your Body & Mind with Tai Chi

In this brand new class, starting Jan 2025, we will begin to explore how the ancient art of taijiquan (Tai Chi) actually works to bring about a unique understanding of both external and internal mindful practices. Externally we learn how to connect-up the body to move as a single unit; internally we use that joined-up body to move qi (energy) smoothly from head to toe; all of this requires a mindful awareness of our structure, position and movements through space.

We will not be learning a specific 'form' but will use movement sequences and some partner-connection exercises to support the material covered. 

These sessions are currently open to active beginners - to check your suitability please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. first.
Regular attendance is encouraged as the classes are progressive & you will not be able to keep up otherwise.

Cost: £10
60-75 minutes of exercise. Arrive at 7pm for a start 5 minutes later; the class will finish between 8 and 8:15pm
