"I have been doing Tai Chi with Mandy both individually and in a group setting for almost a year. I enjoy the sessions and feel they have helped with my balance, which is affected by Parkinsons disease. Tai Chi has also increased my motivation and general sense of well-being. Mandy's enthusiasm for Tai Chi is infectious. She is an inspiring and empathic teacher and fun to work with".

"I would happily recommend Mandy as an excellent Tai Chi teacher if you want to feel good and get strong. Her classes are always enjoyable and I feel the benefits of increased strength and improved agility and balance in my everyday life and movement. I find the focus on breathing helps with stress and sleep".

I started doing Tai Chi because I was in the woods in the rain with a friend and she showed me the start of the bare hand form. It was really cool in a wet misty wood. 

 

Four years later I keep going because it feels like a great antidote to my over busy life. Doing the forms together feels like a collective moving meditation. It's simultaneously calming and reinvigorating.

“For me, Tai Chi provides a moment of calm at the end of a busy working week. It can be physically and mentally challenging and requires persistence and practice. Tai Chi is a solitary practice, strangely best carried out within a close-knit group. Gradually mastering the forms with other classmates has been immensely satisfying and increasingly so over time".

"I have had the pleasure of attending Mandy’s classes for the past three years. During this time I have seen great improvements in my strength and flexibility thanks to her expert guidance and instruction. 

 

Mandy's classes are a unique blend of physical and mental exercise, requiring the use of both brain and body to learn the intricate ‘form” of Tai Chi. Her teaching style is engaging and accessible, making it easy for students of all levels to follow along and progress at their own pace. 

 

Beyond the physical benefits, Mandy's classes are incredibly sociable and fun. I have met some wonderful people through her classes and have always enjoyed the positive and welcoming atmosphere she creates. Mandy's passion for tai chi is evident in every class and her dedication to her students shines through 

 

Mandy is an outstanding Tai Chi teacher who has significantly impacted my overall well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to improve their physical health and mental clarity and enjoy a supportive community".

"A small group of us thought we would try tai chi for a few weeks. Five years later, we are still meeting every Saturday morning. Tai chi seems to have quietly found a way into our lives. We are lucky enough to call our teachers, Gary and Mandy our friends. I can’t tell you why we keep coming back - for each of us, it’s different. But there is something challenging, physical, comforting, brain-aching, stretching and brilliant about it. There are amazing moments when your mind and body finally get it together - it’s worth it."
