Tai chi is a great introduction to exercise. It requires very little space, virtually no-equipment, and is accessible to people who are not in good physical shape or have mobility troubles. https://www.belmarrahealth.com/new-to-exercise-why-tai-chi-might-be-the-perfect-introduction/
- "I am more aware of how my body works and I can do things the correct movement way."
- "It has taken away the fear of falling."
- "I feel more relaxed and my posture is better."
- "I feel better in myself that I was able to do Tai Chi."
“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
- "Excellent lesson tonight Ian, some seriously impressive stance and posture work" - Liberty Louise
- "Good relaxation and feel good."
- "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."
- "My reason for choosing Tai Chi was that I needed to reduce the tension my body would store as a result of normal daily activities and I felt that Tai Chi would be the answer. I needed to persevere in the early months as it was quite a difficult concept to relax and let go of tension by moving with tiny adjustments to my posture. Now it is almost second nature to check and recheck my posture in order to relax and ease the tension.
Looking back to the early months of Tai Chi I learnt how to listen to my body as it told me the discomforts that I had to release and work to ease. When I started I had a knee injury and a lower back niggle which was frequently needing adjustment by a practitioner. My knee is no longer an issue and my back is kept comfortable by small and regular positional checks throughout Tai Chi sessions and exercises and in daily living" - Sheila Biscoe
- "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."
- "Better movement in lower back."
- "The other day I ran upstairs like I used to – for the first time in years."
- "My handwriting has improved – my hand used to shake but it is much steadier now."
- "I feel more agile."
