TRAINING LAUNCH

(We have been pleased with the success and positive feedback from our training scheme.  Our aim is to provide training to organisations, employees and individuals in an effort to increase awareness and understanding of depression. We have now run various courses, all centred around the theme of depression. For instance our first course, "What is depression?" gave an overview of what depression is, how to recognise the signs and what treatments are available.)

FREE T’AI CHI TASTER SESSION

Monday 21st November 2011

Venue: Brimer Hall, Central Methodist Chapel, Batley

Carol will be holding a T’ai Chi taster session on. The session will last for 1 hour between 2pm and 3 pm. Places are limited so please book early (using the usual contact details). This session is free to members and if successful we will be holding further sessions on the following free Monday afternoons.

There may be a small charge for future sessions. For those of us who haven’t seen T’ai Chi in action it can be defined as “ a Chinese exercise system that uses slow, smooth body movements to achieve a state of relaxation of both body and mind” and “T'ai chi is a safe exercise system for people of all ages and fitness levels. Done properly, without any over-stretching, T'ai Chi should not leave a person feeling tired or sore”.

So no excuses for you not to give it a go!  Please come along and enjoy it with Carol in a safe and relaxed atmosphere.
