We have six groups:
Groups 1-4 are led by professional, paid leaders. These groups cater for beginners and improvers. They begin with warm-up exercises and deep breathing routines, leading to the slow controlled movements of the Form, to improve balance, coordination and concentration. There is a fee for each of these groups.
Groups 5 & 6 are for beginners and the form improves balance, but the main aims are strength, flexibility and stillness. These are not led by a professional paid leader, so there is no charge.
Classes are held weekly on Thursdays, 13.45 to 14.45 at The Maltings.

The Farnham Tai Chi groups 5 and 6 are 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 Farnham Tai Chi groups 5 and 6 practice 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.
Classes are held weekly on Wednesday, 2.00 to 3.00 at The Maltings.
