Description

Reinvigorate your mind and spirit with this special Tai Chi session, led by an expert practitioner from Yorkshire Tai Chi.

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.  

The recommended age for this event is 16+. Under 18’s must be accompanied by an over 18 ticket holder.

Since Bars first taste of taiji in Hong Kong in 1999, he has had the opportunity to return to mainland China a number of times to further his studies. Taiji is a fantastic exercise for today’s busy lifestyles. He likes that it looks so easy, but that belies its powerful effects. Dr. Michael Mosley found that doing taiji created a similar rise in heart rate to doing zumba! A lot harder to measure is the excellent effects practicing taiji has on the mind. His goal as a teacher is to give people a taste of the inner peace and strength that comes from taiji.
