How to choose your first class
Tai Chi and Qigong are done standing, with slow, flowing movements and steady breathing. Tai Chi follows a set sequence of movements, called a form, that you learn a little at a time. Qigong uses short exercises that you repeat, so it's easier to follow from the first class.
Keep reading
Feldenkrais and the Alexander Technique are quieter still. Feldenkrais classes are often done lying on a mat, with small, gentle movements. The Alexander Technique is usually taught one to one and looks at how you sit, stand and walk.
If getting down to the floor is hard, choose Tai Chi or Qigong, or ask a Feldenkrais teacher whether you can work in a chair. If you have a health condition, check with your doctor and tell the teacher before you book.

Common questions about Mind-Body Movement
What is the difference between Tai Chi and Qigong?
Both come from China and use slow movement with steady breathing. Tai Chi follows a longer set sequence that you learn over weeks. Qigong uses short exercises that you repeat, so many people find it easier to follow at first.
Are these classes suitable for older adults?
Often, yes. These classes move slowly and can be done standing or seated. Read the class description, ask the teacher if you need a chair, and talk to your doctor first if you have a health condition.
Can I take Tai Chi or Qigong online?
Yes, when the teacher teaches online. Online classes run on Google Meet or Zoom and need a little space to stand. You get the meeting link when your booking confirms.
Do I need to be fit or flexible?
No. The movements are slow and small, and the teacher shows easier versions. Wear loose clothes and flat shoes.
Do I need an account to book?
No. You can book as a guest with your name and email, and the confirmation goes to that address. If you pay by card, your spot is held for 30 minutes while you pay, and the booking confirms when the payment clears. If you pay another way, such as cash, or the class is free, it confirms straight away.
What if I need to cancel?
Each class shows its cancellation policy before you book. With Flexible, you get a full refund up to 24 hours before the class. With Moderate, a full refund up to 48 hours before, then 50% until 24 hours before. With Strict, a full refund up to 7 days before, then 50% until 24 hours before. Whatever the policy, there's no refund if you cancel less than 24 hours before.
