Improved coordination, cognition, balance and quality of movement are reported benefits from practising this art, including improved feelings of well-being and confidence.
T’ai Chi is commonly performed as a low-impact form of exercise, which means it won’t put much pressure on your bones and joints. The course will cover posture, movements for relaxation and T’ai Chi Walking for improved balance.
