Contact Shefford Tai Chi

- "I am more aware of how my body works and I can do things the correct movement way."

- "I feel better in myself that I was able to do Tai Chi."

- "I make time for myself."

- "Since I started Tai Chi I have been doing standing Chi Kung for 20 minutes each day and my sciatica has gone (so no more regular visits to the sports physio at £50 per month). Also my insomnia has gone."

- "I have had a bad back for years – but it hasn't hurt since I started Tai Chi – and I saved money on a Physio."

- "I feel more relaxed here."

- "After a fall years ago, I have developed difficulties with balance and I now walk with a stick. These classes have enormously developed my sense of balance. It follows now that, instead of expecting a near future of less and less mobility, I anticipate to be mobile as long as I live."

- "My handwriting has improved – my hand used to shake but it is much steadier now."

- "I am more aware of my posture – by doing the exercises it has helped with my backaches. My knees are also much improved….I have suffered pain for several years."

- "After doing the class I feel calm and able to cope better with stress."

“I have been practicing Tai Chi once a week with Ian Deavin and after 4 years I realised just how much better my back was feeling and that I simply don’t notice my shoulder, which used to be quite painful – so I have started going to classes twice a week and really enjoy it.” - Val Rigby, 81

- "I feel more relaxed and my posture is better."

- "I find it much easier to bend and move about."

- "Better movement in lower back."
