Tai Chi Class in North Plymouth

I’ve had several requests over the past few months for a weekly class serving the North Plymouth area and also a daytime class. I'd like to combine those two requests and offer a Friday morning class in the Roborough / Woolwell location.

If this sounds like something you may be interested in and would be prepared to commit to a six week introductory course of Tai Chi with the potential for ongoing learning if we get sufficient uptake, please get in touch. Message me on Facebook or email at [email protected] (please reference: North Plymouth class)
