'Tai Chi In The Park' attracts 40 to Burnham-On-Sea park

Dozens of Burnham-On-Sea residents took part in a Tai Chi day being held across the country on Sunday (June 20th).

Over 40 people of all ages flexed and stretched their muscles in the town's Manor Gardens during the event, which was overseen by the Tai Chi Union of Great Britain.

Cheryl Mountford, an instructor from the Burnham-based Bubbling Springs Tai Chi group, led Sunday's event, pictured here.

She told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "I was pleased with the turnout, which was held to celebrate the Tai Chi Union’s 'Tai Chi in the Park' day. Tai Chi instructors and players all over the UK were meeting to promote and share their knowledge of Tai Chi."

Tai Chi Form is a sequence of slow, spiraling flowing movements and is sometimes referred to as 'meditation in movement'.
