“Tai chi is an art embracing the mind, body and spirit. Originating in ancient China, tai chi is one of the most effective exercises for health of mind and body. Although an art with great depth of knowledge and skill, it can be easy to learn and soon delivers its health benefits. For many, it continues as a lifetime journey.” Dr Paul Lam
With slow & safe movements to improve balance, strength & flexibility, these workshops will teach weight transference enhancing mobility & co-ordination, strengthening the mind and improving calmness & confidence.
Booking is essential as spaces are limited

Tai chi is practised around the world as an effective exercise for health.
Using the easy to learn Dr Lam ‘tai chi for arthritis’ program, Tony and Jean will lead hour long sessions to give participants an opportunity to start their own tai chi journey.
