Tai Chi Group - comments from beginners

• Just love the Tai Chi - come away feeling totally uplifted and ready to face the day. I’m standing straighter and all sorts of things.
• Enjoy the wonderful feeling of suppleness and movement.
• Becoming more aware of posture - great benefit.
• Feeling tired after a walk, to do 10 minutes Tai Chi revitalises you.
• Tai Chi breathing has helped with my swimming.
• Hopefully my balance is improving.
• Since starting Tai Chi, I'm now a front runner not a back straggler going up hill. The breathing has helped a lot.
• Practise every day - good feeling when I do.
• I like doing Tai chi outdoors.
• Feel guilty that I am distracted from practising as much as I would like.
• Feel guilty because I don't practise at home enough.
• New Year’s resolution - practise Tai Chi!
• Find that I have to concentrate much harder when I am not in the group - this is a good thing.
• So much easier to do with other people in class.
• Find it hard to think of postures when practising.
• Find it difficult to concentrate at home.
• Look forward to Friday a.m. every week.
• Enjoying the Friday morning sessions very much, thank you.
• Enjoying the togetherness of the class.
• I look forward to coming and enjoy the class.
• I just love Tai Chi - knew for years that I might. It fits well with dance and pottery two of my other enthusiasms.
• Even better - I have at last the perfect place to practise – every morning.
• Switch off from normal activities and very relaxing after the form.
• Feel annoyance at inability to remember and co-ordinate limbs. (It is coming though.)
• I wish I knew where to look - I find myself watching what I'm doing, not focussing on enemies approaching… [We’ll be working on this aspect this term: Jane]
