"Since taking the classes with Isaac I undertake a sequence of the movements as a way to release tension and calm my mind. In breaks at work I'll do a series of the exercises to get my body moving and stretched after sitting at my desk. The online videos mean I'm able to do this in my own time and they are a good reminder for the different actions."
- Brian
"I had never tried Tai Chi before but always thought it looked relaxing . It looks almost effortless when you watch other people doing it. It doesn’t look like you are exercising. So I was really amazed when I did my first class how much I could feel , in my arms and legs ,in fact my whole body felt awake and energised . And not stiff and sore the next day. I’m so happy to have found something I can do and enjoy and feel the benefits of . Thank you"
- Kerry
"I thought the repetition was going to be too much, but realized quickly that it did make it much easier to learn, and remember, each move. I have taken Tai Chi classes in the past and found them hard to follow and/or remember, but this one was very good for someone with my lousy memory and physical problems."
