Contact Shefford Tai Chi

- "I am more aware of the correct way to bend, sit and stand and have learned how to control balance."

- "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."

- "It had helped me to focus on my body and mind and taught me how to relax more and not focus on everyday problems."

“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 don’t need to hold onto the bannister rail now when I go up or down stairs."

- "I feel more agile."

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

- "The classes have taught me to sit, walk and generally hold myself up properly. They have helped to ease tension especially in my back and to relax my body."

- "I hold myself a lot better."

I have discovered something marvellous. This morning I had a sore throat, felt slightly feverish and was out of sorts because I hadn't slept very well. Then I went to a session of Alexander technique, mixed with Tai Chi. (At Letchworth Centre for Healthy Living). I came away feeling absolutely marvellous. I still have a sore throat and a bit of a high temperature - but my sense of wellbeing is so great that it really doesn't seem to matter. Thank you Ian Deavin and Judy Hammond for a great Sunday morning! - Julie Furnivall

 

- "Better movement in lower back."

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

- "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."

- "The other day I ran upstairs like I used to – for the first time in years."
