I started going to the Tai Chi sessions to help with my condition of Long Covid / Chronic Fatigue. At first, I could barely get through half an hour, and today I can easily do 1.5 hours. Arun is a fantastic and inspiring teacher. I’ve learned so much about the energy of the body and how it can heal itself. It’s been an amazing transformation for me, and I highly recommend these lessons to others.
This is a lovely, diverse, warm and welcoming group. Arun is a brilliant and thoughtful teacher with a wealth of knowledge and wisdom about Tai Chi that he shares openly and generously. I've been attending classes for nearly a year. They're all good but my favourite is Saturday mornings in the open air. Such a great way to start the weekend. I nearly forgot to mention that I used to have constant pain in my back and hips that I could almost prevent from getting unbearable with yoga and pilates but went almost completely after a couple of months doing Tai Chi.
For anyone who’s ever seen Tai Chi and thought they’d want to give it a go, Arun’s classes are a really good place to start. It’s a friendly, welcoming and informal atmosphere, while offering an amazing route to getting a deep understanding of the practice. Arun’s approach makes the class so special - he’s got a deep personal understanding of the tai chi practice, and is skilled at sharing this with across all different levels of experience. The class helps develop a set of life-long skills to support physical and mental well-being. I’ve been attending 14 years and am still learning so much!
Arun's classes are easy to follow and fun to do. Arun describes each move step by step and shows the moves from different angles which really helps when trying to perfect the form. I also like how Arun gives some insight into the health benefits and why certain moves are done in a certain way. There's a whole variety of ways to join in: online, in person, outdoor or 1:1 so why not give it a try.
Since starting tai chi more than 5 years ago my knees are no longer painful, my muscles are toned and I can relax and just be for longer. The group vibe is a bonus 😉. Thank you, Arun.
