Begin your morning with Tai Chi, in the quiet, light-filled Still Room Studio overlooking the beautiful grounds of Keswick Hall. As the sun rises and warms the day, the view becomes part of the practice — spacious, grounding and softly inspiring. It is a serene setting that naturally invites stillness, breath and gentle presence.

These weekly Tai Chi sessions offer a calm, steady way to reconnect with your body. Through flowing sequences and mindful attention, you will explore balance, grounding and quiet strength. The atmosphere is warm, unhurried and supportive, allowing you to move with comfort, curiosity and ease.

Tai Chi is suitable for all levels of experience and all levels of fitness, including complete beginners. Movements can be adapted at any time, making this a truly inclusive practice.

These sessions reflect The Still Room Studio’s values of stillness, authenticity, lightness and gentle contribution. You are welcome exactly as you are.
