We are running a full programme as we know we need Tai Chi more than ever. Some classes are transitioning back to physical locations – see timetable below.
Our virtual classes use Zoom. Please download the “ZOOM Cloud Meetings” app from the App Store or Google Play, or zoom.us/download for laptops.
