Tai Chi Taster

As part of the Somer Valley Walking Festival we will be running a Tai Chi Taster at Timsbury Conygre Hall!

Bruce will be teaching the ‘Ba Men’ (which translates as 8 Gates). This is a short sequence of 8 moves which train the basic principles or energies of Tai Chi.The moves of the Ba Men are fairly easy to learn – at the start, as one learns the movements the practice is gentle, opening the joints, building a more connected body etc but it can also be practised in a way that’s much harder and while one is still moving slowly it provides much more of a workout – so it can be tailored to the needs of those attending without the need to teach different things to different people.

This Tai Chi class will be outside if the weather is suitable, so please wear layers.

After the taster you are welcome to join us over tea and cake in Timsbury Conygre Hall.
