Video Clips – Tai Chi Exercises

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

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

 

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

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

- "Good relaxation and feel good."

- "Knowing when my posture is bad it reminds me to straighten up, relaxation which can be done at home and also feeling better in my body."

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

- "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."

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

- "It has taken away the fear of falling."

- "I feel more relaxed here."

- "I was rather apprehensive when I attended my first drop in Tai Chi session! I was made very welcome and found I enjoyed participating in the gentle exercise under the tuition of Ian. Tai Chi has helped my posture and balance, especially when walking" - Janet Hill

- "The classes relieved stress and I am less irritable, just doing the exercise."

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