During our first full year, ie. 2016, we attracted between 14 and 22 people each day, who enjoyed the sessions. This has continued in 2017. Classes for 2018 resume on Friday 2nd February, 2018

You would also be welcome to join us! No commitment required, just come when you can – many have holidays or other things to do . Our leader Heather would love to introduce you to her activity.

Both women and men join in, so you are invited to come along and try it out!

Follow the imagery below to help learn the Lotus movements

The Lotus

The Emperor comes to the pagoda at the edge of the water, and watches as a gentle breeze rustles the leaves

He looks down the lake, and sees a turtle treading water

Nearby  a snow rabbit is digging in the thawed earth

Across the lake a young maiden scoops up water, and sprinkles it on the earth

A lotus plant puts down its roots

and sends up a beautiful flower

The wise man in the village tests the wind in the east, and he tests the wind in the west

The Emperor lifts the sky

then presses the earth

he gathers energy from the earth

As he looks across the lake he sees a while crane spread its wings in the morning sun

The snow rabbit still digs the earth

A gentle breeze is rustling the leaves

and day has begun!
