New class takes off…

Sincere thanks to all of you who helped make our first regular tai chi class at Oakham such a success.

Sixteen people joined our latest introductory tai chi course at Voluntary Action Rutland (VAR), Land’s End Way, Oakham LE15 6RB – and saw demonstrations of the traditional Yang Family Form, a rarely seen Fast set, and Pushing Hands as well as joining in the first regular class.

Spaces are limited here because of the size of room, so if you are interested in improving your health, posture, balance and, above all, relaxation please email or call Jim now if you would like to put your name on a waiting list.

This class is currently full but please contact me if you would like to put your name on the waiting list.
