Tai Chi Shibashi combines exercise, breathing and meditation. Balance typically improves, which may protect against falls. Stress falls away, too, which can lead to a happier, more balanced outlook.

It takes place outdoors (on tarmac) so it is important to dress for the weather.

It is ideal for older people; it’s designed to keep us mobile with mild flexing of joints / spine and a little muscle toning, through a very gentle set of exercises along with good breathing. It is also suitable for wheelchair users.

Sessions typically take about 20 minutes and will be followed by tea / coffee at the nearby Bean Tree café which is in The Nest and is step-free.

We have a friendly Whatsapp group. Non members are welcome to a "taster" session or two.
