Our ever popular, Tai Chi courses which run at the Cotswold Community Centre offer sessions for beginners, intermediates and improvers. Tai Chi practices include good body alignment, breathing and relaxation. Tai Chi movements are gentle but help you to build strength, balance and coordination.

Our homemade botanical beauty classes offer the opportunity to make your own spa products such as bath bombs, creams, balms and scrubs. Using natural ingredients and learning about their benefits.

Our Reiki courses will explore Usui Reiki healing that you can learn to give to your family friends and of course to yourself.
