Chi & Tea

Wednesdays 10am-11am
Main Hall

Tai Chi is a flowing and gentle form of exercise that incorporates slow movement and breathing.  

Char's Wednesday class is focused primarily on relaxation through calming motion and breathing. We practice flowing movements that, over time, slot together into a sequence. This is accompanied by breathing practice that can steady the nervous system and a busy mind. Building these two skills together can help support the body by gently strengthening and mobilising muscles and joints, and developing balance. Tai Chi exercises can create a sense of well-being in the body, leaving people feeling calm and energized. 

No prior knowledge or equipment is needed, and it is suitable for most abilities. 

Participants should wear comfortable clothes and flat shoes.  

The class consists of:  

  • A series of mobility and warm-up exercises. 

  • Qi Gong breathing and movement which help settle the nervous system and can provide a sense of grounding. 

  • Each week practice the Tai Chi form, gradually building a form of flowing movements. 

  • Class comes to a close with a few calming breathing exercises.
