I am presently receiving a lot of enquiries about Tai Chi, mainly from people in the middle to later age groups – generally they are exploring its benefits for daily life. I usually think that up to 50 years we are too preoccupied with work and family to have time to look after ourselves, and then after that it is difficult to find the motivation!
Worry not! Tai Chi for health is a very soft but surprisingly good exercise – remember the TV program that compared it to Zumba classes and found it equally good?
A case in point is my class at Marston Moretaine, where after just a few months the group is coming together within the class and socially and have come to share experiences and ideas. Classes for health usually have a good mix of people with varying abilities who can support each others learning – so a new student can just come along and quickly fit in.
These classes are generally run as drop in groups so the commitment is whatever you want it to be. My classes in Shefford take place in our newly refurbished Community Hall with heating and air conditioning. The classes at Marston are organised by the local Community Centre so please contact [email protected]
