Tai Chi is a traditional Chinese martial art that uses slow, gentle movements to cultivate strength, calm, and flexibility. Through the movements of the Tai Chi postures we activate our bodys natural energies, and then use these for martial practice as well as self-healing.
This way of exercising places great emphasis on quieting our mind, and so can also be thought of as a form of moving meditation. Classes will teach the fundamental principles of internal energy cultivation, how to apply these principles in each of the Tai Chi posture, and then how to string these postures together in a Yang style Tai Chi form.
Please wear loose clothing and flat soled shoes, and bring some water to drink.
Please note: All 10, and 12 week courses have a half term break in the middle. For term dates please visit our Contact us page. We are not open on bank holiday Mondays and any class that falls on these days will be made up at the end of term.

Latecomer
If a course has already started, please call the office as it may be possible to join after the start date. This may only be possible if the course is not already full, if it is not disruptive for the other students and you are aware that you have missed a percentage of the course and the tutor will not have time to catch you up. This will be at discretion of the Folk House. We run our courses termly, so it might be best to start at the beginning of the course.
