Tai Chi Chuan translated means the “Natural way” and is the most widely practised system of exercise in the world. Nowadays most people practice Tai Chi Chuan for health, relaxation and as a martial art

Tai Chi has been shown to be highly successful in alleviating health problems and dramatically reducing stress and tension created by daily living. There is no such thing as a totally peaceful life, but there is a way in which we can manage our health and spirit and enjoy the benefits of a prolonged fulfilled life with our loved ones

Tai Chi’s present form is roughly a thousand years old and what makes Tai Chi Chuan unusual is that softness and yielding are used to unlock your own potential and allow you to overcome, and eventually replace, your fears and anxieties with beauty, grace and understanding. It is obvious but not always recognised by most of us that our main opponent is ourselves. We often do the complete opposite to what is correct and therefore become the creator of our own problems and health issues

The main essence of Tai Chi Chuan, if practised daily, is to pursue health through a balanced and calmed state of mind, so much so that those around you also then start to benefit from the calm energy omitted by you. In Tai Chi we call this yielding, giving way to those problems in your life you would normally confront and resist to the point of exhaustion. Yielding is not a form of weakness, for to yield correctly one must have understanding and strength from within and not react to situations through anger or misunderstanding, but to apply ones own sensitivity and emotions correctly

Tai Chi is based on a set of forms designed to strengthen the body and the mind simultaneously. The initial forms are practised slowly as this allows us to work on our posture, naturally strengthening our bodies, calming the mind and improving our breathing. Tai Chi is suitable for all age groups  regardless of limitations. Sufficient practice of the forms is important and is often practised twice a day by most students for around ten to twenty minutes a session The forms are built around the three aspects of Tai Chi, health, relaxation and heart work

All three forms will be taught, though students will be able to practice any combination of the three. It is recommended that classes are attended weekly, though students will be welcome to attend as many times as they choose.
