Really nice environment to learn tai chi. The teachers are good-natured and patient, but have a real passion and depth of knowledge that shines through. And there's music(!), which somehow lifts the experience further. There's a well-resourced community website and frequent online workshops, but you will learn a lot just from the classes. Recommended!

I came to the class to gain a deeper understanding of tai chi. I found the class to be both welcoming and very enjoyable. The instructors are all excellent, and despite having dyslexia, I've been able to follow the instructors with ease. This really is a very enjoyable class.

I’ve been going to classes for almost a year now. I started going initially to help with fitness, health and mindfulness, discovering so much more. I feel much stronger physically and calmer mentally. I really look forward to Thursdays and come away feeling amazing. The group is a really lovely mix of people. Very relaxed atmosphere and excellent teaching by Emiel, Jason and Alice. I highly recommend coming along for a taster session.

I came to the classes to improve my flexibity and general health and boy have I done that. Classes are expertly led, with a view to safety (it's harder than it looks, and some muscles get stretched that haven't been stretched for a while...). The classes are a mix of ages and backgrounds, so very supportive and a nice group.
