This is one of the most common questions from beginners planning to attend a class for the first time.
Our recommendations are:
Wear comfortable clothing that allows free movement (we don’t recommend jeans); leggings, jogging buttons, loose trousers.
Ideally flat shoes rather than trainers, but trainers are ok if that’s all you have.
Barefoot is best if that’s comfortable for you. Not socks or slipper socks as your feet will slide.
Tom and Helen will be taking a break in August, with all classes cancelled for four weeks. The only group that will continue to run throughout August is the Sport in Mind Tai Chi class, on Tuesdays at The Mint. Any queries at all, please just get in touch with us.
Jessica’s Monday morning class will continue throughout August.
All classes have now concluded for 2023.
The Mint class resumes on Tuesday 2nd January.
All other classes will resume from Monday 8th January.
Thank you so very much to our students for another wonderful year of training, fun and laughter! We look forward to seeing you all back in class in January. Have a wonderful break; rest and relax.
Remember that some practice is better than none, and more is always better!
