Tai Chi Qigong Set 2 - Downton
Get your Weekly Tai Chi Fix!
Join us for 45-50 minutes of low-impact energising exercise to learn and practise Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi SET 2. All classes are performed standing, but you can choose to be seated. Suitable for all age groups, as long as you are reasonably active.
Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi SET 2 builds on Shibashi SET 1 (taught in the 10am class), but can also be learned by complete beginners. The movements of Set 2 are more challenging than Set 1, with more stepping, turning and balancing than in set 1. It is based on some of the movements from Yang style tai chi chuan and this gentle, flowing qigong exercise set is deeply relaxing and pleasant to perform.
Cost £10
Class led by Jane Launchbury, Senior Instructor Tai Chi Union of Great Britain.

Tai Chi Harmonies - Downton
Learn how to Harmonise your Body & Mind with Tai Chi
In this class, we 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.
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
Led by Patrick Foley, Senior Instructor Tai Chi Union of Great Britain, Indoor Student of Master Sam Masich.
