Tai Chi

The Ash U3A Tai Chi group is a mix of beginners and more experienced participants all of whom have discovered health improvements. But even without the health benefits it’s a fun and enjoyable way to spend a Friday morning with friends.

What is Tai Chi?

Tai Chi is practiced all over the world by millions of people. There are many different forms, each one with its own benefits. The Ash U3A Tai Chi group practices the long form known as the 108 move set. This form helps improve circulation, balance, restores movement to joints and muscles and reduces stress.

How it Works

A new move is practiced each week, building up the set over a six month period. After this we go back to the beginning and build on our knowledge of each move. There are no exams, tests or even a right or wrong way to do the moves. The Tai Chi journey is a personal thing with each person putting in and taking out as much as they are able.

Anyone can join in at any time – it’s a ‘doing’ group not a learning group so new members are always welcome.
