Does anyone do tai chi classes? And BodyBalance?

[onthering]

I really like the tai chi bits of BodyBalance and am tempted to try a whole tai chi class.

I'm just worried it might be a bit, kind of 'spiritual', if that's the right word. I don't even know why I think this. I'm probably completely wrong. I'm very much not 'spiritual' and won't like it if it goes all woo.

Is the whole class just like the BodyBalance bits?

[maybemyrtle]

I've only ever done one tai chi class so I'm clearly no expert, but I have done lots of body balance classes and they were quite different. The taI chi was definitely more woo, but it may depend on the teacher. I don't get the impression that tai chi has been as mainstreamed/westernised as much as yoga for example. Try it and report back

Hmm, you are not reassuring me

I did Thai Chi for a few years and really enjoyed it. I have never done body balance so can't compare.

The key is to find a good teacher (as with everything). I did yang style and that suited me really well but there are different styles you can try.

There was no imposed spirituality to it at all. I found more of that in yoga.

Thank you nonreplicable I might give to a go.

Its really the gym I already belong to or nothing , so will have to live with whatever style they do.
