What is Tai Chi Evolutions?
Tai Chi Evolutions (TCE) is a dynamic form that has many benefits, and is perhaps most noticeably different from most other Tai Chi in the emphasis it puts on increasing flexibility and strength of the hips and spine.

What our members are saying
Keeping a healthy balance in this busy life has always been a challenge. Tai Chi has given me increased physical mobility, a calmer mind and a sense of belonging
Sharon
Tai chi has given me confidence after having a stroke and heart transplant.
I can focus on something achievable without putting too much strain on my body. I am doing the cognitive exercises I was recommended after my stroke, without realising.
Ken
The calmness I feel after a Tai chi class grounds me and is helping me cope with looking after an elderly parent with Alzheimer’s.
If I don’t do any Tai Chi for a week the Osteoarthritis in my knees is noticeably worse.
I initially joined the tai Chi class to improve my balance, however an unexpected bonus has been meeting some amazing people and making new friends. The patience shown by the instructors is inspirational, I wish I’d joined earlier.
