It was lovely to lead the first ever Tai Chi workshops at the Tangled Roots Festival earlier in June.

It is a perfect setting, and although there was still a slight chill in the air, the soothing background sounds from the rippling stream just added to the relaxed atmosphere. We spent well over an hour under the marquee, doing breathing exercises (from the Eight Pieces of Brocade QiGong routine) and learning and practising the first movements of the simple Yang form sequence. 
The session on Sunday morning was on the grass in the sunshine. There was a mix of people among the group, and we warmed up, stretched, breathed and practised the “Grasp the Sparrow’s Tail” sequence.
The feedback was very positive and a few participants were keen to find somewhere to continue learning on a regular basis.

“What a lovely way to start a Sunday!”
“This is so relaxing. I’m really happy I can do this here!”
There was a photographer – if I do get any photographs I’ll share them here.
But there’s also the next festival in the same place, Tangled up in Blues, in August. Perhaps I’ll see you there….?
