Tai chi movements for wellbeing
08:15 - 08:45
Experience a taster session of Tai Chi movements for wellbeing (TMW) with Elaine Bevan-Smith, respiratory ANP. This is a unique sequence of slow, flowing, gentle movements informed by the principles of Tai Chi but without the complexity. Elaine has applied TMW for people with COPD in a number of settings, including as an adjunct to pulmonary rehabilitation. TMW is designed to promote health and wellbeing based on the core understanding that there is a relationship between the body and mind.
Feel a new sense of relaxation, flow and energy, enabling you to feel calmer, more balanced and centred. Explore how the movement touches you emotionally and releases tension held in the body. The movements can be undertaken either seated or standing. You will need to wear comfortable clothing and most importantly soft flat shoes, trainers or pumps.
