I value these goals but how can I make space in my life to make this a reality?

If you have already tried various ways to keep your mind and body fit and healthy and still failed to establish a regular routine, here are the most important tips to help.

Practicing with a group of people greatly increases your likelihood of continuing with any new routine.

Weekly classes establish a regular practice time and space, which is one of the key components to establishing any new routine.

Creating a new social hub where you meet new friends with a common interest is one of the biggest “nudges” to maintaining any new routine.

A quiet relaxed commitment to do your part in keeping yourself healthy and well balanced is the biggest positive to enjoying your days as you get older.

You need to find what you do enjoyable. If you want to be calmer, move more comfortably and smile more, then a boot camp approach is never going to work for you.

Enjoying the journey is more important than end-gaining, the Tortoise beats the Hare every time.

More importantly, drop the need for instant results or changes, you already know that anything worthwhile takes some time, so cut yourself some slack make yourself a quite commitment and give it the focus and attention you deserve.

TESTIMONIALS

"Brian has a very thorough yet gentle method of teaching ensuring that the basics are right to give a strong foundation to the movements."

"I like Brian's detailed methodical approach; he really goes right into the heart of the movements to a depth that awakens areas you hardly knew existed. This serious undertaking of the work is coupled with a light-hearted attitude which makes everyone feel valued regardless of their aptitude. There is no competitiveness or one-upmanship. Long may he continue."

"Brian is very patient, non-judgemental as well as using humour to good effect. We have hugely benefited from his classes."

"I really enjoyed Brian's class, it is very calming but I also feel as though I have worked hard. Brian is very patient and explains the Tai Chi ethos very well. I can see myself attending this class for a long time."

"I had done some Tai Chi before attending the class, but Brian really makes sure that all the moves are done correctly and for maximum benefit. I suffer from back and neck tension, but since going to the class this has much improved. After the class I have a real sense of well-being along with feeling relaxed as well as invigorated. Thank you, Brian!"

"All my life I had knee problems, and they were getting worse, to my surprise Brian taught me how to use them properly - if only we were taught Tai Chi like the Chinese, I could have taken part in school sports!"
