Tai Chi for Beginners with Karen

In ‘Just One Thing’ Michael Mosley said, “Because Tai Chi is a mix of exercise and meditation, your brain gets a workout too – leading to better brain function. It improves heart health and has even been shown to boost your immune system.” Tai Chi has its roots in China of 2000 BC. Time has proven it can ease the body, calm the mind, and create a feeling of balance and harmony. If this sounds interesting to you, do come along and try out this slow mindful sequence of movements and experience the benefits for yourself in this friendly and fun class. Tai Chi for Beginners at Greenway: Every Wednesday, 11 AM – 12 PM To book a place visit: Tai Chi Works Bristol or text You can also book in person at the Greenway Centre Reception. Cost: sliding from £7 – £10 About Karen: I have studied Tai Chi and Chinese martial arts since 1983, and I began teaching in 2004. I have taught all ages from 6 up, but my particular interest is in how Tai Chi can benefit our health and wellbeing as we grow older. In one student’s words: “I like the poetry and grace, the subtlety and mindfulness. I enjoy the way you teach us as a class and as individuals, so that even though I feel I am a slow learner I am motivated to continue and to improve my steps into a world of lightness and ancient tradition.” read more HERE

More about Chessel Street

Bristol, England

Chessel Street sits quietly in Bristol, where you can usually find a gig at Spike Island if you know when to turn up. The Orchard Inn often hosts its own local acts while keeping the conversation loud enough for neighbours on the other side of the wall to hear. There is always a fair amount of noise around here, even when the rain decides to stay in. You won't need to hunt for a night out because these venues keep the calendar full without needing any extra advertising. Just drop by and see what's playing this week.
