Time change for TocH class

From next Wednesday the class will be starting a bit later, at 10.30am.

FREE tai chi classes

North West and North Wales Tai Chi have got funding to put on a free 8 week tai chi course for beginners at the Guild Hall Community Centre in Walkden, Salford starting Monday 19 September. It will be on Monday mornings from 10am to 11am.

Places are limited, so if you would like to take part then contact me, Jane, to book.

New classes starting

I've recently started teaching a small, friendly class at Heald Farm Court, Sturgess Street, Newton-le-Willows WA12 9HP. It is Monday afternoons 1.30pm-2.30pm and is a mixture of Chinese health qigong and tai chi. It is suitable for beginners and is now open to the public so get in touch if you would like to know more about it.

I will also be starting a class in on Monday mornings in Salford soon and will post details once everything is finalized.

Class cancelled - Wednesday morning 27 July

Just a reminder that there will be no Wednesday morning class at the Leigh South Community Centre next week, 27 July, because the hall is being painted. I'll see you all on the 3 August.

In other news, I had another fantastic weekend at the Chinese Culture Centre in Telford, but I was too busy enjoying the tai chi to take any pictures. You can see other pictures of the weekend on Facebook though.

Last weekend's Summer Camp

Had a fabulous time at the Deyin Taijiquan Institute Summer Camp last weekend. Here are some of the pictures, thanks to Joanne and Julian. You can see more here.

I have been away doing qigong for a few days. We had a wonderful day on Sunday with an interesting talk by Professor Mei Mo Sheng in the morning and qigong in the park in the afternoon.

As I mentioned yesterday, there will be a workshop on 16 step sword coming up in Telford on Saturday 16 July. I thoroughly recommend it if you would like to deepen your understanding of this lovely form. It is also good practice for the 32 step sword as many of the moves are the same. It is at a discounted rate for Deyin members, so if you haven't already joined it is worth doing.

World Tai Chi and Qigong Day 2016

It was a great day out and there was a good turnout to enjoy tai chi in the beautiful backdrop of the Festival Gardens. I only managed to take a few pictures but there should be more available from other photographers.

I have also shared the pictures on my new Facebook page (please like if you are on Facebook). And if you haven't yet seen the pictures of my Great Glen Canoe Trek, you can find them here.
