For the first time in over 7 years I am starting a class suitable for total beginners. It will run on Wednesdays 9-10am from 21st November at the wonderful purpose-built pavilion of Tooting Bec Lido, the huge listed Art Deco era outdoor swimming pool on Tooting Common. Great pictures and
info here. I am so looking forward to it and will write more later. I need to make flyers and ask for your help in getting them around the area, if you live locally, and telling your friends too in person or online, if you feel moved to do so. I used to live in Tooting and some of my family live nearby, so it's especially nice to be back amongst the big trees and wide open skies of the lido.
The lido.
The class will be warm ups, form, chi kung and maybe sticking, eventually. For partner work or advanced study, folks will be welcome to Join Mark's Tuesday class in Tooting in the new Year, or my Monday class in Hampton Court, if they catch the T'ai Chi bug. The lido class will be an hour long and cost £8 for the general public and £5 for
SLSC members (that's those amazing folks who swim in the freezing cold all winter!) This keeps the price in line with the yoga and Pilates that goes on at the venue.
The entrance, 50m back from Tooting Bec Road. There is plenty of parking.
The venue has a sedum green roof and covered outdoor space.
All are welcome, get in touch for more details or look here in a few days when I have made posters and flyers. Any of Mark's students who would like to come along and assist me are welcome to do so for free, just let me know when you would like to come. After class there will be 15 minutes where we can have a cup of tea in the social area by the studio. In warm weather we can work outside by the pool, or have the glass wall open to the sky, trees and water. It is a superb
venue, and underused. More soon...
