Instructor: Naomi Stadlen

Here is a chance to come and enjoy the ancient art of Tai Chi with your baby or child. These five-week courses enable you to learn and practise the basic movements of Tai Chi, and to explore how these could enhance your health and teach you how to defend yourself. No previous knowledge or fitness is necessary.

Classes teach how to ‘Sung’, or ‘relax to sink the weight’, and how to be single-weighted. These actions seem almost too simple but when they are done correctly can store great resources of energy which mothers need. Every movement encourages the body to stretch and breathe properly. They are simple and natural, and can be taught while carrying a small baby, or with a toddler running around. Babies and toddlers are a welcome part of the class.

Time: Mondays, 11.00-12.15am
Cost: £55 per course, or £12.50 per class
