lfa tai chi
 

 In September alongside the regular attendees a beginner's class of Tai Chi will commence. For those who wondered what it is, but too afraid to ask, let me enlighten you. Tai Chi is primarily concerned with helping you to improve your health and well being regardless of your age and ability. It involves a series of repetitive gentle exercises that you as an individual feel you are capable of. If you can't do it, don't do it, it's not a competition. Learning Tai Chi should be a pleasure and you will learn a sequence of moves which you can practice as this helps movements flow in a harmonious way. At first progress may seem slow, but you will be surprised at how soon the sequence grows, alongside your ability to follow instructions more readily. Tai Chi helps you to relax, strengthen the heart and improve lung capacity and may reduce blood pressure. Because you are continually shifting your weight from one foot to the other, your leg muscles are constantly contracting and relaxing, which helps pump blood round the body. It encourages good posture and is good for gently increasing flexibility of the joints. It's an effective form of exercise and if you're interested in learning more then have a word with Jeanette on tel. no. 01482 888006
