Boots found at TocH

These soft furry boots were found by Alan after the class at Leigh South Community Centre on Tuesday. Anyone know whose they are?

Happy Lunar New Year!

Qigong for beginners - upcoming courses

Just like tai chi, qigong is a great exercise for health and relaxation. It is suitable for all levels of health and ability and can be adapted to the individual.

Coming up at the beginning of April are two 10 week courses on Yi Jin Jing muscle and tendon strengthening exercises, one daytime, one evening.

The courses are designed for beginners and no previous knowledge is required. Just like tai chi, though, more advanced students can benefit from going over the basics of each move.

Both courses are great value at £50 for the 10 week course. And if you book by 1 March you get £10 off!

The daytime class is on Wednesdays, 10am-11am, at Leigh South (TocH) Community Centre, 32 Hope Carr Road, Leigh WN7 3ET, and runs from Wednesday 3 April to Wednesday 5 June.

The evening class is on Thursdays, 6pm-7pm. at Hurst Dance Studios, 51 Market St, Hindley, Wigan WN2 3AE, and runs from Thursday 4 April to 6 June.

Schedule change - classes start 14 January

Classes were scheduled to start again tomorrow, 7 January. However, although I had a fabulous holiday, on the last day I started going down with cruise cough. I am already beginning to feel a bit better, but to avoid passing it on to you all I am going to take an extra week off and do lots of tai chi and qigong at home.

Classes will now start again the week commencing 14 January. I look forward to seeing you all then. :) 

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I know it's a little late, but I have been off the radar for a couple of weeks. :)

Happy Holidays!

There are no more classes now until the week starting 7 January 2019, so have a lovely Christmas and a happy new year, and keep up the tai chi and qigong.

Wednesday afternoon class opens to new beginners

It has been lovely doing tai chi and qigong among the books at @HindleyLibraryAndCommunityCentre. A big thank you to Chapter One Tea Rooms for getting the class started.

We've outgrown the children's section now though and it's time to move on. From this Wednesday 7 November classes will be at @HurstDance studios.

This means that we can now take on beginners again so if you would like to join the class do get in touch. We will be doing tai chi and qigong on Wednesday afternoons, 2.30pm to 3.30pm at Hurst Dance Studios, 51 Market Street, Hindley WN2 3AE.
