Discover UCL200 Active Tai Chi
What to expect at UCL200 Active Tai Chi:
As part of the Campus Celebration Event on 30th September, Project Active are delivering a Tai Chi taster session.

The session is designed to be:
- Beginner friendly - no previous dance experience is needed
- Inclusive and welcoming
- Flexible, with options to adapt movements to suit your comfort level
- A fun and relaxed opportunity to try something new
Session Description
Tai Chi is built around the ancient Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang: the harmony of complementary opposite forces in all things.
This session will include a short set of exercises that can be easily followed and completed from a static, upright standing position over a period of 10-15 minutes. The exercises will emphasise the coordination of breath with body movement, which could assist participants to feel more relaxed, refreshed and energised.
Research has suggested that Tai Chi can help reduce stress levels, improve balance, increase muscle strength in the legs, and improve general mobility and flexibility.
