They are structured in a non-progressive way, 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 doing 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 reducing stress, anxiety and mood swings. Tai chi & qigong movements come from the exercise/ activity 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 Chi 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 separate, pay monthly / half termly classes for both Beginners and Improvers, in Eggborough and Rawcliffe.
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' .
The progressive learning classes involve exercising the mind to memorise the forms, and a little practice at home between classes is encouraged / required as we progress - we have a video channel to help with that.
The progressive classes at Eggborough and Rawcliffe will build week on week through the forms (sequences) and skills of Tai Chi. This means that after a short while 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 why we ask you to register in advance for progressive classes.
We promise to teach you traditional authentic Tai Chi in a friendly, supportive environment, but we ask that you reciprocate by attending your class regularly and paying the class fees even for weeks when you might be unwell or on holiday. Please consider this before you sign up for your first block.
We don't ask for an annual contract / monthly direct debit as some schools do, as we realise that circumstances change, so our renewals are done block by block (approx every 6 classes) which you action via a card payment online or in person. However we do ask that if it is your intention to only come for one block to try it out, that you attend our drop-in casual classes instead and leave the progressive class place for someone who is ready to commit to ongoing learning.
If you leave the class by not renewing for one block of 6 classes and want to return for the next block then the missed class fees will still apply in order to re-join the same class.
Click through to the venue page via the brown links, to check the class dates as there is usually one week per month when there is no class and other occasional closures if the venue is unavailable.
