Tai Chi
Hello everyone,
If you live or work in the Ryde/ Epping Community, our 30 minute lunchtime Tai Chi classes give you the opportunity to experience an oasis of calm.
You'll learn how to be relaxed and energised not just in class but in your normal activities as well.
The classes are designed to give you time to do the class, have lunch and still be back at work or home within an hour.
You can try our drop in class 12.15 pm or get into a regular schedule with the 12.45pm class, just check out the Timetable to find a class that suits you.
If you have any questions about anything to do with Tai Chi, please feel free to contact us anytime. We're always happy to hear from you.
Looking forward to hearing from you or meeting you soon. Sue
What is Tai Chi?

- Improved posture
- Breathing deeply to relax
- Getting those joints moving gently and without strain
- Workshopping some classic Tai Chi movements
- Learning a short Tai Chi routine
- Relaxing and enjoying 'performing' it
- Experiencing the 'flow' of Tai Chi
