Richard invites you to join the Glossop TAI CHI community, a great spot to learn Tai Chi right in the lovely town of Glossop, UK. He offers sessions for everyone, whether you're just starting out or already practising.
Tai Chi is easy-going and suits all ages and abilities. Rooted in ancient Chinese tradition, it's been around since the 12th century thanks to a Taoist Monk named Chang San Feng. Often practised outside in the fresh air, Tai Chi combines gentle movements with nature's energy.
At Glossop TAI CHI, Richard runs classes in Tai Chi, Chi Kung, and Meditation. Tai Chi helps you connect with your body's energy through smooth and precise movements, improving balance, coordination, and overall health. Chi Kung mixes elegant movements and exercises with a focus on breath and energy pathways from traditional Chinese medicine.
Richard's meditation sessions aim to ease stress and promote calmness. By focusing on your breath and visualising nature's beauty, you can find relaxation and peace.
Richard's journey with Tai Chi began by chance back in 1992. Originally wanting to learn Kung Fu, he stumbled upon Tai Chi and Chi Kung, which resonated deeply with him. Battling poor health as a child, Tai Chi helped him improve his sleep, focus, and physical fitness.
He started Tai Chi classes locally in 2015 after his teacher, Paul Tien, moved away. The classes have grown, attracting friendly folks from all walks of life, including teachers, doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, and retirees.
Whether you’re a novice or seasoned pro, Glossop TAI CHI invites you to experience the benefits of Tai Chi in a welcoming and supportive environment. Join in and discover the blend of health and beauty that Tai Chi brings.
