Back for a third time our guests of honour will also do music workshops and Brian Udall will zen you out with his tai chi skills.

Yoga, tai chi and meditation are all beautiful blends of creative therapeutic movements. For beginners and experts they reduces stress and anxiety, relieve tension and Improve overall sense of balance and well being. Tai chi for example can prevent or ease many ill's of aging and could be the perfect activity for the rest of your life. Tai chi differs from other types of exercise in several respects.

The movements are never forced, the muscles are relaxed rather than tensed, the joints are not fully extended or bent, and connective tissues are not stretched. Tai chi can be easily adapted for anyone, from the most fit to people confined to wheelchairs or recovering from surgery.

Start your day with a Yoga or Tai Chi class or chill out while you think about having Reflexology, Reiki or a mini 'neck and shoulder rub'. There's so many different types of therapies, a 'Nature Healing' area with creative bush crafts, storytelling and lots of inspiring kids and adults workshops.
