Weekend at The Woodlands 24th / 25th July
The Woodlands Activity Centre, Bourne Vale, Walsall. WS9 0SH
Two days of Tai Chi combined with the Christmas party that we didn’t get last December. A chance to catch up on things we missed and learn something new!
Below is a list of things going on over the weekend and the back page has the price of each session. There’s no charge for the Saturday night social or the Christmas party, and everyone is welcome to come along.
You may only want to pay for one or two sessions, or you can buy a weekend pass for £70 and attend as many of the sessions as you like!
Fleur’s Total Immersion classes
If the last year has made your Form a little rusty, join Fleur for a refresher. These sessions are also suitable for learning one or more sections from scratch.
Cost = £25 for two and a half hours.
Fleur’s Acupressure
Stiff shoulders? Stressed? A small amount of pressure to the right spot can make a big difference to muscle tension. It’s like Acupuncture, but for cowards! Fleur is working on the ‘First come first served’ principle on the day.
Cost = A small donation on the day.
Steve’s Chi Kung class
For 45 minutes each morning, Steve’s leading a Chi Kung exercise session. It’s basically a version of his Monday morning Zoom class, done outside in the fresh air!
Cost = £8
Steve’s Stick class
The short stick Form as taught by Master Erle Montaigue. A good all-round exercise for men or women, the stick is the most basic of the Taiji weapons. It’s fun to learn and we will be going from the beginning. This class is suitable for both beginners and more advanced.
Cost = £20 for two hours.
Steve’s Straight Sword class
The Jian Sword Form as taught by Master Erle Montaigue. Sometimes referred to as ‘The Tai Chi Sword’, the straight sword is said to represent the ideal of Tai Chi movement. This class is suitable for both beginners and more advanced.
Cost = £20 for two hours.
Steve’s Self Defence class
We are going to practise a few basics. Looking at simple techniques that anyone can use. Tai Chi is not about force, is a matter of timing, distance, focus and technique! This class is suitable for beginners.
Cost = £20 for two hours.
Jenny’s Seated Tai Chi class
Seated Tai Chi exercises that people can do standing if they wish. it’s just Chi Kung movements – no Form. Jenny often stands for some exercises and sits for others.
Cost = A small donation on the day.
Jenny’s Reiki class
A small introduction to Reiki with instructions, followed by short meditation called the Standing Stone leading into giving yourself Reiki. Suitable for beginners.
Cost = A small donation on the day.
Two days of classes in the peace and quiet of the Woodlands Activity Centre in Streetly. We are the only people there for this weekend and you haven’t got to worry about anyone watching us practise. In theory, it’s going to be the first weekend after the lifting of Lockdown on July 19th, so, come on down and do some Tai Chi in the sunshine and then celebrate Christmas in July on Sunday afternoon!
