The Haywood Foundation are very happy to announce that they are to once again fund the very popular Tai Chi and Qigong sessions, helping to support patients with arthritis or other related conditions in terms of their health and wellbeing.
Tai Chi and Qigong are low impact activities suitable for everyone. Each person works within their own limitations to improve their strength, balance and flexibility, without putting stress on their joints.
It is an ideal activity if you are recovering from a fall or want to improve your mobility.
Tai Chi can improve your mood and help with depression, stress and anxiety. It can improve energy levels, increase stamina as well as lowering your blood pressure. It is also a very social activity.
Fortnightly Sessions take place at the following venues:
• Bagnall Village Hall, School Road, Bagnall Tuesday 1.30 – 2.30pm
• Quaker Meeting House, Overton Bank, Leek Tuesday 4.00 – 5.00pm
Weekly Sessions take place at the following venues:
