What people say

How has Tai Chi helped me?

Heartland Tai Chi had become a highlight of my week.
Alan our teacher is such a positive, relaxed person to learn with. 
He creates a great environment to practice the exercise at your own pace.
There is never any pressure and always plenty of encouragement to keep ones focus balance on a refreshing perspective of non-judgmental presence in the moment.

I went to Tai Chi for both health and wellbeing reasons. 
Having an exercise I can do whilst having a chronic illness brings me so much joy. 
I have never come away having hurt myself from overdoing it.

I always come away feeling uplifted and often find it has great mental health benefits.
I came having never done Tai Chi before but found Alan to be a great teacher.

Mentally Alan’s gentle and fun style of teaching has empowered me to be confident and able to attempt new physical skills without being embarrassed and feeling useless!

Emotionally Tai Chi has a deeply relaxing and calming effect.  For the whole time that I am practising with Alan the rest of the world and my busy thoughts disappear.

Physically Tai Chi has enabled me to notice where I hold tension within my body and to release it. This skill has transferred to my every-day life and enables me to more easily negotiate the challenges and stresses of day-to-day living leaving me far less fraught and tired at the end of the day.

I have also become far more aware of my spine and the alignment of my lower back which has solved my lower back ache!
