The Tai Chi form – Yang style: a long sequence of slow movements with controlled breathing, derived from ancient Chinese martial art practice.
This form is based on the classic Yang style of Cheng Man Ch’ing, but has been modified by one of his students, Dr Sam Lee. It emphasises the therapeutic, healing aspects of the form and makes it more accessible to people of all abilities.
This 30-minute class challenges and builds co-ordination, balance, strength and control.

The Tai Chi class is taken by Jeremy. He is calm and patient and an excellent teacher of the Tai Chi form. The classes are enjoyable and he breaks down the moves so that they are easier to learn. I have found that the classes not only benefit me physically – making me aware of my posture and balance but also mentally. It helps me feel relaxed and calm. I would say it improves my general well being. I would really recommend the class.

Jeremy is an excellent teacher and always patient, even when I forget which is left or right! I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis a few years ago which affected my balance and I have noticed quite an improvement since starting the class.
