Description
Reinvigorate your mind and spirit with this special tai chi session, led by an expert practitioner from Yorkshire Tai Chi.
The art of tai chi was a closely guarded secret, with its mysterious origins debated for centuries, but it is thought to date back to the practice of a 14th-century Taoist monk.
Thanks to its health benefits being promoted by several famous names in the 20th century, it developed a global following, with its focus on gentle movements bringing a sense of clarity and calm.
Please note this event will take place outside, so please wear suitable and comfortable clothing.
