Hello world!

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

- "Since starting tai chi with Ian I have noticed an increase in energy levels and a calmer state of mind. It does take work and practice, but is most definitely worth the effort" - Carla N

- "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."

- "Good relaxation and feel good."

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

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

- "Excellent lesson tonight Ian, some seriously impressive stance and posture work" - Liberty Louise

- "Better movement in lower back."

- "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
