“So I’ve been doing taichi at the Leeds Tai Chi Academy for quite a few years now. I didn’t think it was for me to start with—too frustrating, not physically taxing enough—but I thought I’d stick with it long enough to give it a fair chance and I’m very glad I did. I feel healthy and fit, my body is stronger and more supple than it used to be, my mind is steadier, and I’ve met really sound like-minded people. My favourite thing is that I always know it’s there for me when I need it—I know that if I start a taichi set I will come out of the other end feeling good: refreshed, strong, calm and happy. It’s a good feeling, like doing meditating and exercise at once. If you’re thinking of doing taichi I’d definitely recommend Arun as a teacher, of the ones I’ve tried he’s the best by miles.”
