View Article  108 Practice 2012

We are resuming our Practices for 108 this year.

In December we moved from Gorgie Memorial Hall to Eric Liddell Centre in Morningside and it seems to be more convenient for everybody so we'll continue there until further notice.

I send an e-mail around to 108 students every month to chose the Saturday most convenient for everybody. If you want to be on the list, e-mail me at aclnus@yahoo.co.uk

Next practices at Eric Liddell Centre 2-4pm

21/01/12

18/02/12

Please let me know if you are coming as I can organise a smaller or bigger room depending on numbers.

Looking forward to see you there!

I have been running the class all summer at Roseburn Flats and enjoy it thoroughly. The hall within the group of flat is nice and homely and the old folks are motivated and welcoming. Some have done Tai Chi before and it's fun to keep it going. Some are a bit rusty and are looking to get some muscle and stability back. All in all I have found there a happy group enjoying a little bit of slow and careful exercise together! Totally adequate and great fun! 

I am looking for another home or group of flats for older people who would like to keep up their Tai Chi practice or just discover a new gentle way to exercises. 

If anybody knows of such a place please get in touch!

 

View Article  Fancy a practice?

If you fancy a practice somewhere in Edinburgh one evening this summer, let me know and we'll try to work out a place and time.

A few of us are fancying one this Wednesday at about 6.30/7pm. Not sure - Does anybody have a strong preference for Meadows or Morningside Craighouse? (I prefer Morningside...)

Let me know!

Today is a big day!

I started some Tai Chi classes at Roseburn flats near Murrayfield with some friendly "fitness" minded older people!

I am really looking forward to see how our gentle, simple but effective set of exercises and postures will improve their balance and increase their mobility!

Different crowd, different needs, different lesson to learn. I appreciate the fact that they enjoy the slow pace... might teach me one thing or two about settling in and not rushing around like a headless chicken!

Happy Chi day!

We have more practices coming up our way!

We are considering various locations in addition to the Perth one we have already visited: Carnwarth at Natasha's place where we can practice indoors as well as outdoors, Livingston where Douglas knows a few good parks, and Edinburgh... looking for a hall at present.
This is all very exciting!

We are trying to get a calendar set up so that we know when and where are the practices. The idea is to have one practice per month on Saturdays for l'art du chi students who want to memorize the form. We will practice the 24 and 108 (mainly 108).

1st practice: this Saturday 1st May at Carnwarth from 2-4pm (maybe 5pm?).
I'll be going by car from Edinburgh and can offer transport for 3 people.
Get in touch: 07740 564 940 for times and directions.
