The gentle, flowing art of T'ai Chi is practised by people of all ages and levels of fitness. It is known for its health benefits, particularly valuable for improving balance, stamina and flexibility, and reducing stress.

Classes will be recommencing, following the summer break, in the fourth week of September.

If you are new to T’ai Chi there will be an opportunity to join a weekly, one hour, introductory class on Tuesday afternoons, starting at 2.45pm. on September 24th. It may also be possible to join this class later on, depending upon space.

If you already have some experience of T'ai Chi there are other classes available.
