The pandemic is leaving us paralysed, stressed and anxious, struggling to get motivated to do any form exercise. We are putting on weight, getting sluggish and our  immune systems ater being left comprimised.

So what is the real struggle? is it the idea that conventional exercise is just too painful? Is it all too much effort?

Tai Chi is a gentle form of exercise that is easy to do and works on your deep mucles, breathing and internal system leaving you with a feeling of being positively relaxed. You don’t need much space to practise Tai Chi and you can wear what you want providing it is comfortable.
