These
simple relaxation exercises are suitable for any age and level of ability; they
have been developed from Chen Style Tai Chi to help improve children’s
co-ordination, concentration and fitness.
Carefully prepared sessions
supported with 5-minute and 10-minute activities allow the teacher a flexible
approach to developing a progressive exercise programme to stimulate children’s
learning and motivation, with the addition of a Tai Chi Games section providing
fun ideas for generating more active young people.
The

St. Peter’s & St. Paul’s
Primary School, Lichfield. Amanda Newbold, one of the trusts Co-ordinators
says:
“Brilliant,
the Breakfast Club Tai Chi sessions have attracted over a quarter of the
school!”
Master
Liming Yue, 7th Duan Wei holder, and senior instructor of the Tai Chi Centre
