Tai Chi and Qigong demonstrations
Come along every Tuesday at 2pm this summer to watch some beautiful demonstrations from Diane Brindley and her group performing Qigong exercises and Tai Chi routines on the Thimbles Lawn. (weather permitting).
Qigong is an ancient Chinese system of body and mind healing through working with energy. It combines breathing techniques, gentle movement and focused intention to strengthen and cleanse the body, and to support smooth flow of energy and blood circulation.
Tai Chi is a form of martial art using smooth and seemingly effortless, yet powerful and dynamic movements.
Come and watch and even have a go yourself. No booking required, normal admission costs apply.
