Tai Chi is a beautiful (walking) sequence of graceful stretchy moves; and is now recognised in the West for its multiple health and wellbeing benefits.

This Group is suitable for total beginners, so no previous experience is necessary.

All participants progress and practice at their own pace and within their own physical capabilities.

Classes will run in Blocks of 6 sessions and continues throughout the year.

In each we session we build upon previous tuition, so a commitment to attending the Group of 6 sessions is appropriate and fairer to other students.

Beginners Group 2 starts July 9th - Full

Beginners Group 3 starts 1st October 2026 for 6 sessions 1/10. 15/10. 29/10. 12/11. 26/11. 10/12

If you think you'd miss 2 or more sessions, please wait until another Block/Group when your diary is freer. The first 2 sessions are foundational to your learning Tai Chi.

Book yourself a place in a Group or waiting list. You'll need to Log In to the members portal to do this.

Tuition is based on the Moy style, which Master Moy adapted from the traditional Yang form of Tai Chi, to suit Western bodies.

Sue Davies (Group Coordinator) is a former Tai Chi Instructor, sharing her passion, knowledge and understanding for this beautiful art.

The full Tai Chi Set is made up of 108 moves, many repeating. In this Tai Chi Beginners Group we focus on the first 16 moves and the Foundation exercises, giving you a complete practice you can enjoy in your own time.

Each new Block/Group of sessions will be suitable for and welcoming to new absolute beginners.

Some members may choose to 'go-around-again', so this Group may contain a mix of total Beginners and some who are on their second or third run through.

All are welcome! 😀

Many of the Tai Chi Foundation exercises can be practiced either seated or standing, instruction will be included for both options. This gives members choice and makes the class as inclusive and as accessible as possible.

Hopefully students will want to practice at home for maximum benefit.

Sue has made videos of the foundation exercises for you to watch at home (if you wish), making learning through repetition easier. Members will receive the link by email.

We split the room hire cost for the Group/Block of sessions between us. (currently only £5 per person, for the Group/Block of 6 sessions).

The hall has plenty of parking and is on a regular bus service (S11) from town.

We do have a maximum capacity for the classes as we each need space to move around, arms especially!

This is a light-hearted and sociable Group focusing on health and wellbeing, balance, coordination and learning together.

We take a social break mid-session, please bring your own refreshments.

Please wear comfy, stretchy clothing and something like trainers.
