This class for Tai Chi complete beginners started in January 2026. A new intake is starting in September 2026.

The group mainly focuses on the Yang short form.

If you would like to take up Tai Chi all you need is comfortable clothes and flat, comfortable shoes (such as trainers), as all of the gentle exercises and movements are done in a standing position.
