Chair-based tai chi for beginners
Four gentle, seated sessions to improve balance, strength and confidence — no experience needed.
About this activity
Tai chi is a slow, flowing exercise that is kind to the joints. In this beginners’ course, every movement is done sitting on a sturdy chair, so you can join whatever your fitness or mobility.
A qualified instructor will guide the group step by step. Each week builds on the last, and you will get a simple printed routine to practise at home between sessions.
Carers and family members are welcome to take part too. Please try to come to all four sessions.
