Programmes for businesses & groups

 Programmes

Founded by Rosaleen Fadden, The Tai Chi & Wellness Academy brings many years experience but seen through fresh eyes. Keeping up to date with all the latest research into these ancient arts means that the delivery of our programmes is customised to a very personal level, ensuring that it caters to all our group's needs and to each student within that group.

Examples of groups who may need a tailored programme or tweaked version of any of our courses include:

  • People with limited mobility
  • Teenagers - less focus, more energy
  • Corporate - how can I de-stress at my desk with Tai Chi or Chi Kung
  • Fitness for life - 50's upwards
  • Mental Health organisations
  • Addiction Treatment Centres

The benefits are many: a new sense of vitality, reduced levels of stress, better balance and flexibility, decreased levels of anxiety and depression and a strong and vibrant body.

Special Needs Educational Programmes

Because of the energy flow of Tai Chi and Chi Kung and its non-competitive aspect, this is an ideal form of exercise for people who may be physically or intellectually challenged. Adding bodily relaxation at the end of class has a very soothing and calming effect on all participants, especially those prone to irritation, over-activity or intense emotional states.

Active Retired - Fitness for Life Programmes

Age is part of the human condition, from birth to death, so I say live life wisely, and live it well – exercise the body, raise the energy, have some fun and laughter. Go wild once in a while – climb a tree, even if it is a small one. Swim in the sea even if it is freezing cold – jump in and jump out! Invite your friends on a surprise picnic and bring all the trimmings!

Tai Chi and Chi Kung help you to remain fit, flexible, and strong at any age. All our classes include important elements of Wellness – physical activity, focus through meditation, learning something new, and remaining socially connected, even on Zoom!
