Tai Chi Course

About the Course

Tai Chi is a practice that involves slow, controlled movements, and can be performed seated or standing, indoors or outdoors. 

Often described as a moving meditation, when we practise Tai Chi, we learn to listen to our bodies and minds. We learn to take notice of how we feel and what is going on around us. 

Studies show that regular Tai Chi practice not only improves our physical health and fitness but it also has a powerful benefit for our brains too. People who practice a few Tai Chi movements everyday report an improvement in their sleep quality and a deep sense of relaxation. Studies show that Tai Chi can help people living with depression or with anxiety.

For wheelchair users, Tai Chi can prove especially beneficial for improving range of motion in the shoulders and neck as well as easing tension. Importantly, studies show that adapted Tai Chi is a safe physical activity that people of all backgrounds can enjoy.

No special clothing or special equipment is required, but you will need access to a device that allows you to join Google Meet.
