Introducing tai chi for health

Taoist tai chi held free have-a-go sessions at the Warkworth Scout Hall at the start of this month, in support of the International Week of the Older Person.

People representing a range of ages were introduced to the practice of Taoist tai chi arts for health.

This included its philosophy and its health improving qualities, with stories from members who had found numerous benefits through regular practice of the arts, including health and wellbeing, calmness, stillness, strength and resilience.

Practicing some of the moves gave participants an idea of how balance and stability can be improved over time and how learning the sequence of moves focused the mind.

Regular sessions are held in Warkworth at the Scout Den and in Wellsford at St Mary’s Catholic Church.
