You may have seen T'ai Chi being performed and wondered what it is like to actually do.  You may have tried a class, but felt a bit lost when confronted with a long set of movements to learn.  This class may be for you.  We will be looking at the basics and working with a very short form.  The Yang style 10 Form takes its name from the number of postures involved – just ten!  Nevertheless, it includes some of the signature postures of the Yang style, such as Part the Wild Horse's Mane and Cloud Hands.  It is incredibly compact, too, perfectly suitable for practising at home.  We will go slowly, building up the sequence gradually.  Why not give it a go?  A great way to start your day and week.
