Tai Chi Aberdeen

Tai Chi Classes in Aberdeen

Love a little relaxation with your workout? Our Aberdeen Tai Chi classes offer a relaxing low impact workout that will tone the body and soothe the soul.

"In every movement, every part of the body must be light and agile and strung together. The postures should be without breaks. Substantial and insubstantial movements must be clearly differentiated."

Who Will Love Tai Chi

Our Aberdeen Tai Chi class is ideal for anyone who wants to get a more toned, stronger body, without sweating it out on the gym floor.

No martial arts experience is needed, just a clear mind and the ability to glide!

Many of our older Aberdeen Gym members like our Tai Chi class because it's low impact, so easy on the knees! Though it's just as popular amongst our younger members too.

Great for yoga bunnies, pilates fans or anyone keen to tone up in a group setting.

Tai Chi For Seniors

The great thing about Tai Chi, is that anyone can do it! No age limits or restrictions on abilities. Just turn up and make it your own!

Popular amongst our senior Aberdeen members, our Tai Chi workout is low impact, easy on the joints and great fun when shared with friends!

Aberdeen members over a certain age love nothing more than a morning Tai Chi session, followed by a cuppa tea!

Regularly attending our Tai Chi classes will improve balance, also reducing the risk of falling.

Tai Chi For Weight Loss

Whilst the slow and gentle nature of our Aberdeen Tai Chi classes won't have you burning significant calories, they will help you to tone, strengthen and develop muscle mass.

Increasing your muscle mass will encourage the body to burn fat more quickly, so if your goal is weight loss, Tai Chi can form a great addition to your weight loss training plan.

Tai Chi For Anxiety

Anxiety plagues one in ten people in the UK. It makes us feel low, fatigued and plays havoc with our blood pressure.

One of the great benefits of our Tai Chi classes in Aberdeen is it's ability to reduce stress.

The gentle movements combined with light meditation and controlled breathing will help you to feel more relaxed, more focussed and boost your mood.

The stress-busting benefits of our Aberdeen Tai Chi class make it a great choice for members with long working hours, young families, hectic lifestyles, depression or anxiety disorders.

Tai Chi Styles

We cover the main five styles of Tai Chi in our classes at Village Gym Aberdeen. Each one focusses on a different area though they're all about continuous, graceful movements.

Find the style that works for you and adapt it for your own fitness levels.

Yang style Tai Chi involves slow movements and a focus on your relaxation levels. A great class for Tai Chi beginners or yoga fans looking for something new.

Wu style Tai Chi features micro-movements rather than large stretches. You'll move slowly, making only little movements each time. This is designed to strengthen key muscles and improve your balance.

Chen style Tai Chi is a combination of slow movements and quicker transitions. Expect to do some punching, kicking and squatting.

Sun style Tai Chi is similar to Chen style, though less physically demanding, making it a great option for older adults of Tai Chi beginners.

Hao style Tai Chi is designed to work on posture, positioning the body and strength.

What To Wear For Your Tai Chi Class

Our Tai Chi classes are all about movement! So you'll want to wear something that allows you to glide, bend and stretch.

We've outlined a few pointers to put together your workout wardrobe to ensure you hit our Aberdeen class studio dressed for the occasion.

What To Wear To Your Fitness Class

When starting a new fitness journey, staying motivated can be tough.

Smart Start For New Members

FIND YOUR 'CHI'

Tai Chi is focussed on breathing to relax the mind and muscles. Try this breathing technique before your Tai Chi class to help you get used to mindful breathing...

Breathe in slowly through the nose. Imagine you're following your breath as it travels, up the nose, down the back of your throat, into the lungs and finally down into your stomach.

Then, follow it as you exhale, from the stomach, up to the lungs, up the throat and out through the nose. Taking a few deep breaths using this technique, will automatically relax your mind and body, helping you to find your 'chi'.
