Tai Chi is a very gentle and, slow form of aerobic exercise that strengthens and, tones the muscles, improves balance and develops co-ordination. The heart rate is increased by 20-30%, exercising the heart and strengthening the respiratory system.

It is ideal as a way to relieve stress and develop a more positive, focused, yet relaxed attitude towards life. Most students feel some benefits straight away. The exercises taught in the classes can be used as a tool to alleviate the stress, and strain of busy modern day lifestyles, and as a very enjoyable way to regain, and maintain, fitness and good health.

The Syllabus
