1. DROP-IN class structure
Beginner Tai Chi classes
KELLINGTON Village Hall - Saturday mornings 9.30-10.30am:
Pay only when you come, £10 for one class or save £2 per class and buy a 'Three Class Pass at £8 per session from our website, or on the door (you'll only use one of the 3 class credits each time you come, Credits don't expire, but are non-refundable
Saturday classes usually operate three weeks per month. See KELLINGTON page for exact dates You can come along to ANY of these classes as a new beginner and pay by card on the door.
Classes are structured so that new beginners can join in at ANY TIME throughout the year. The focus of the class is on following our instructor in each exercise and gaining benefit from following the movements, rather than remembering a complex sequence or set of 'principles'.
The movements are simple, slow, mindful and controlled. They will improve balance, posture, strength and overall health whilst regulation the emotions and mood, promoting an overall sense of well-being.
Tai chi & qigong movements form the exercise branch of Chinese Medicine which improves the health of the individual by balancing the flow of bio-electrical energy which each of us has - the Chinese word for this energy is Chi / Qi (pronounced chee). Quite simply put, if you improve the flow of your energy you will improve your physical & emotional health.

If you have time to commit and want to delve into the deeper 'Art' or 'Way' of Tai Chi, utilising the more traditional progressive method of learning, we offer pay monthly / half termly classes for both Beginners and Improvers, in Eggborough
Progressive learning classes are not the same as the casual 'drop-in' sessions above, they are for people who want to learn a traditional Art rather than participate in' Tai Chi exercise for health'. Both are valid methods of learning and participating however, it just depends how often you can commit and how deeply you want to go :)
The progressive morning and evening classes at Eggborough build week on week through the forms (sequences) and skills of Tai Chi. This means that once a group of beginners have settled in and established a core group of students the class will be closed to new joiners, otherwise the group always remains at complete beginner level and no progress is made (maybe you've attended a class like this before and given up). Therefore joining at or near the start of a new beginner intake is important and is why we ask you to register in advance for the Eggborough progressive classes. You will be making a commitment for about 6 weeks, renewable for further blocks of 6 weeks thereafter for as long as you want to continue in the class, but no pressure to do so.
We are currently accepting new joiners in Spring 2026 at Eggborough - enquire now and start soon.
