Wear trainers and bring a refillable water bottle that you can top up for free at your local centre.

Both Tai Chi and Yoga are excellent workouts offering benefits for the mind and body.  

Tai Chi classes are great for overall balance and coordination, and focus on the flow of one movement to the other. Movements are typically slower and smoother, whereas Yoga is more focused on strength, deeper muscle stretches and breath control. 

If you’re unsure which class is best for you, you can try out a Yoga or Tai Chi class for beginners, or ask an instructor at your local gym or leisure centre.

Despite the slow pace, Tai Chi classes provide a controlled, full-body workout that targets lots of muscle groups. While it’s not a cardio-based workout, the flow of movements requires lots of focus, which helps build and tone your muscles while improving your posture and mobility. 

Tai Chi can be incorporated into any fitness routine as a way to improve overall strength and enjoy the mental health benefits that come with it. If you’re looking for more of a calorie burner, we also offer plenty of fun yet higher-impact classes including Social Dance and Aqua Aerobics.

No, Tai Chi classes are suitable for adults of all fitness levels, including beginners, seniors, and those with limited mobility. It’s a low-impact workout that improves balance, flexibility, and strength, and you’ll start seeing improvements and growing your confidence week by week.

If Tai Chi is your main form of strength training or exercise, we recommend attending between 2 and 3 Tai Chi sessions a week to continue building on your technique and getting consistent results. However, some people even see the benefits of attending one class per week, as it offers you the space to unwind and check in with your mental and physical wellbeing. 

If you’re wondering how Tai Chi fits into your existing workout plan, or are focused on achieving specific results, feel free to speak to one of our friendly instructors.

Our Tai Chi classes are accessible for adults of all ages and abilities, so the best class for you depends on your level of experience and mobility. 

We offer beginner Tai Chi classes suitable for seniors, junior members (aged 11-17), or those new to the activity. However, if you’ve been to a handful of mind and body classes before, and are fairly confident with the movements, then our regular sessions may be more suitable for you.

You’re never too old to start learning Tai Chi. It’s a low-impact exercise with slow movements that helps with balance, coordination, and mental wellbeing. Our Tai Chi classes are suitable for adults of all ages, and many people start in their 60s, 70s, or even 80s.

The cost of our Tai Chi classes varies depending on the specific centre and membership type.
