Tai Chi and Qigong Class Silsden

New Tai Chi and Qigong Class Silsden Town Hall

We look forward to starting our newest Tai Chi and Qigong class on 22nd August 2019 at Silsden Town Hall.

Classes will run every Thursday 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm

Your first class is half price and then £6 per week on a pay as you go basis with no need to book.

We offer a warm welcome to everyone, especially those just starting. No special clothing or equipment needed. Just wear comfortable clothing, flat-soled shoes and a smile! Please bring a drink in warm weather.

Silsden Town Hall offers a fantastic accessible venue with a large ground floor room with lots of natural light. It has easily accessible toilets and the Community Library in the room next door. You will find a car park across the road which is only 60p an hour.

Why Try Tai Chi and Qigong?

Our regular participants tell us how they feel at the end of our classes. They say they have better balance and feel stronger, meaning they can do jobs in the garden more easily, enjoy walks with family and friends, and feel more independent.

Tai Chi and Qigong offer people an ideal exercise that goes easy on joints while strengthening muscles and improving balance. Many of our participants tell us how much better they sleep after a class and how it has helped reduce blood pressure.

As an accessible exercise for everyone tai chi and qigong has featured in research (including a recent feature in the BBC TV series, Trust Me I’m a Doctor) demonstrating its benefits for improved health and wellbeing.

If you have a serious health condition you may wish to contact your G.P or specialist first to check if you are ready to start an exercise class.

If you think a family member, friend or colleague would like to know more about us and our classes please do share this blog page with them.

Helen and Philip look forward to seeing you.

Tai Chi for Health Class Opening in Glusburn

Very pleased to announce that we plan to open our new Tai Chi for Health class based at Glusburn Institute Community & Arts Centre. We gets things off with a good start on Thursday 15th March with a free taster session open to new starters and anyone who enjoys our other Tai Chi for Health classes in Keighley, Bingley and Baildon.

Tai Chi for Health - Glusburn Arts Centre

Unlike other forms of tai chi we emphasize the health benefits from an evidence and research based perspective. Our social enterprise, Huntun Tai Chi™, has the aim to offer people the opportunity to learn accredited Tai Chi for Health programmes in a safe and inclusive space, with a warm welcome for everyone.

We especially welcome people who live with long term health conditions, a disability, or people recovering from injury or a surgical procedure.

After the 15th March taster the classes will run as follows:

• Thursday mornings 10:30am to 11:30am
• Classes open and ongoing - no need to book.
• First Class Free
• Price per session: £6 – Over 65 concession £5
• Do wear comfortable clothing and flat soled footwear. Bring a smile.

As Certified instructors with Dr Paul Lam's Tai Chi for Health Institute (TCHI) we teach carefully designed evidenced based tai chi programmes.

As you begin learning one of our Tai Chi for Health programmes you can expect to learn and put into practise the essential tai chi principles:

• Keeping ones body in a relaxed upright position throughout the tai chi form
• Controlled transfer of your weight from stance to stance
• Continuous flowing movement from start to end
• 松 Sōng meaning to loosen, relax or let go the muscles and joints
• 静 Jìng meaning quiet, still, motionless, or mindfulness, in movement
• 篷 Péng meaning literally awning, tent, or cover but in the context of tai chi meaning to extend strength or support

Regular practice of one of our Tai Chi for Health programmes will improve balance, help build and maintain core strength, and promote a deep sense of relaxation.

If you think a friend or relative would like to read this blog or would like to try one of our classes please do share it with them.

We look forward to seeing you.
