Chapel Allerton Leeds Tai Chi, Yoga, Meditation and Kung Fu

I'm currently doing the 1 month intro to Tai Chi (only got 3 classes under my belt, so definitely a newbie here) and I'm loving it so far! Everyone is super welcoming and friendly - as an example, when I arrived for the first time, other more advanced students came up to have a chat and the teacher took a moment to properly introduce herself and chat with the beginners as well. Its such a good atmosphere in there, with more advanced students joining the beginners to help out and everyone just seeming to be genuinely passionate about it all. I know its early days - having only been to three classes - but Ive already noticed some small benefits to my physical and mental health. My day-job is just sitting by a desk for hours on end, and Im dealing with some aches and pains as a result. The flowing circular movements of tai chi seems to be helping with my physical work-injuries, while things like the breathing exercises really help me to mentally de-stress. As someone who deals with anxiety, I cant recommend these classes highly enough! Taoism is naturally being woven into the sessions, giving them an extra feeling of depth. Weve also been introduced to kung fu in the last class, which was incredibly fun! For anyone whos curious about trying this: I definitely think you should give it a go to see if its for you. Im so happy I did.

A very easy and welcoming environment. This is helping me in a gentle rehabilitation following a traffic collision. And in a calm environment, lol I'd definitely recommend to anyone when dealing with life's stresses!

I've been going to Lishi at Chapel Allerton for a year, and I have learnt some great ways to help relieve stress, focus your mind, manage your energy and just generally live a happier more confident life. The classes are good fun, and give a great mix of energetic exercises and more calming yoga and tai chi.

The Chapel Allerton Lishi class is a friendly and welcoming environment. The class promotes natural stress relief through the practice of Daoist physical arts including Tai Chi. I would recommend the class for anyone looking for mindful, soft exercise and a way to relax and calm themselves.

I love this class and have been going to the Chapel Allerton class for a while now. Its not just Tai Chi and martial arts, we benefit from gaining a better understanding of Taoism which really adds to the value of the class. Its a very welcoming and friendly community of people and in my opinion far more beneficial than a gym membership! I would recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their physical and mental health.
