Here’s to a healthy and happy New Year…

Health is the thing that makes you feel that now is the best time of year…

Franklin P Adams

Take the first step to improved health and happiness by starting – or returning to – a tai chi class.

Just recovering from one of those hacking coughs that’s hung around far too long and finally got back to my daily start to the day with some preps and standing Qi Gong. Lost count of the things tai chi helps me with – breathing, arthritis, and that all-round feelgood factor!! Add in improved blood pressure, sleeping well and pure enjoyment and it’s hard to work out why anyone wouldn’t want to help themselves to a dose of tai chi tonic!

Classes start again at Wing Village Hall on Friday, Jan 10 at 7.30pm. Look forward to seeing all our regulars, and if anyone fancies starting the New Year with a positive boost to your own health care system then look forward to seeing you too!!

Keep moving…

Want to stay young? Then start moving. A new study finds that exercise among older adults helps ward off depression, dementia and other health problems. 

People who partook in moderate or vigorous physical activity at least once a week were three to four times more likely to be healthy, compared with those who remained inactive, the researchers found. Moreover, people who were active at the start of the study were seven times more likely to be healthy than people who were inactive and remained so.*

Our weekly tai chi classes are low impact, an easy way to keep fit, de-stress, relax and feel great.

Come and join us at 7.30pm every Friday in Wing Village Hall – within 10 minutes drive of Oakham and Uppingham.

*Study finds it’s never too late to reap the anti-aging benefits of exercise

Summer sun..and a new tai chi term…

Hope you’re all enjoying your holiday – and finding a little room for some tai chi of course!

Here at Wing Tai Chi we’re looking forward to a new term starting on Friday, September 13 – all are welcome.

We’ll be adding some new exercises to our Preps, new Qi Kong exercises and, of course, continuing our work on the Traditional Yang Family Form.

If you feel like it, add some Preps and a little of the standing Qi Kong exercises into your day and you’ll soon notice a difference in the way you feel – especially if you start your day off with it. It will work wonders for when you start back too!

Meanwhile, Julie and I are just about to pop off to Portugal for two weeks so we’ll raise a glass of wine to you and I’ll think of you as I practice my tai chi on a balcony overlooking the sparkling blue sea just as the sun is rising. Very relaxing…

Slowly, slowly – it’s the tai chi way…

Seeking quick results is like arriving before you’ve even started. Take things slowly – you might jump over something vital you really need to know.

Change your vehicle…

The body is like a vehicle. On the road… some people are driving Rolls Royce, some Mercedes, some Toyota, some are riding on motorbikes, some bicycles..there are all different kinds of vehicles. You can change your vehicle, but you can’t change the needs of the driver.*

I’m now off to fine tune my vehicle at our annual tai chi residential course at St Mark’s College, Audley End…three days of tai chi heaven, hard work and much fun.

If you want to upgrade your vehicle, join us for our regular Friday class at Wing Tai Chi

*With thanks to Andrea via her blog ‘Health is from heaven’

Thought for the day…

Tai chi does not mean oriental wisdom or something exotic. It is the wisdom of your own senses, your own mind and body together as one process.
