One of the best things about Tai Chi is that literally anyone can learn it. Any person of any age or fitness level can practice the exercises. Even certain elements of Tai Chi can be performed whilst lying down, sitting, walking or even just in the mind.

You need no special equipment, just loose, comfortable clothing and flat shoes. There is no uniform, no belts and no grading system. There is no religion to convert to and you do not need to learn any Chinese.

Tai Chi teaches you not to depend on anything or anyone for your own health and happiness. It teaches that you are in control of such things. Through concentration and a deeper understanding of your body, you can relax muscles, open your joints, improve your posture, release blocked emotions and begin to heal yourself. Tai Chi is truly an amazing self-help technique.

Tai Chi training will help you to straighten your posture and to relax your body on a very deep level.

Tai Chi takes you through a journey of self-discovery and a deepening understanding of how your body functions. You will learn to identify more and more clearly where your own tension occurs and to gradually let this tension go. Your muscles and bones (especially in your legs) will grow stronger and as a result your training (and everyday physical activities) will become easier.
