Tai Chi

Tai Chi is recognised as a wonderful soft exercise and calming meditative movement – in the delightful and classical tree populated environment of the Shuttleworth Swiss Garden these exercises connect with traditional Chinese ideas about the natural development of Chi, leading to a quietly energised state of relaxation.

It is excellent for people of all ages promoting as it does good posture, good balance and good health for all, while providing a pathway to more dynamic exercise if that is your interest.

Tai Chi history

Tai Chi originated in the early 1600s – synthesised by the Chen family from ages old precursors of health and wellbeing combined with exercises from martial arts.
