NEW GROUP

Gentle
T'ai Chi
for Health

10.15 - 11am
St Georges Parish Hall, Church Lane, New Mills

Jo Royle is starting a new very gentle T'ai Chi group intended for people with limited mobility, or conditions that limit movement or physical activity, standing, breathing etc. and for anyone who just wants some kind of effective exercise, but nothing too physically taxing.

No long complicated sequences to remember but gentle, easy to learn, T'ai Chi based exercises, some seated and with the option to remain seated throughout.

Her aim is to make this enjoyable and effective with emphasis on calming the mind and relaxing the body, improving mobility, stability and balance.

Please contact Jo if you are interested in joining, or if you would like any more information.
