Tai Chi and Qigong Classes in the Lake District

Look well to this day

for it is life, the very best of life.

In its brief course lie all the realities of existence,

The joy of growth,

The splendour of action,

The glory of power.

For yesterday is but a memory

and tomorrow is only a vision

But today, if well lived

Makes every yesterday a memory of happiness

and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well therefore,

To this day."

In order to navigate this site you might like to first look at the classes we do, and the page about forms which is one of the central aspects of T'ai Chi. Otherwise, if you go straight to the t'ai chi enthusiasts page, you'll find a nice width of comment from some of club `members`, (which we intend to update from time to time). Then suitably intrigued you can wander our pages at will, and indeed you probably haven't read this far and are wandering around already.
