T’ai Chi Workshop 

 

Sat 9 Aug 2014, 10:00AM - 12:00PM 

 

This workshop follows on from the daily morning ‘T’ai Chi on the Green’ classes where learning was in the Chinese tradition of watching and copying the moves. Now we will be able to look more closely at some of the main principles of T’ai Chi and to practice them as a group as well as with a partner.   There will be time for questions and for considering T’ai Chi’s significance as an ‘internal’ martial art which teaches us how to make peace with ourselves and others. The workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as more advanced students. 

 

Location is Aboyne and Dinnet Parish Church as above.  

Tickets £10 Adults £6 Children (12+)
