Experience the Benefits of Tai Chi for Wellbeing 🌿

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese practice that combines flowing movements with deep breathing and mindfulness. Often described as "meditation in motion," this gentle exercise form has gained popularity throughout New Zealand for its numerous health benefits.

Our Tai Chi for Health class focuses on:

• Improved balance: Reduces fall risk through focused, deliberate movements
• Greater strength: Builds functional muscle power for everyday activities
• Enhanced flexibility: Increases range of motion through gentle stretching
• Stress reduction: Promotes relaxation and mental clarity
• Better posture: Encourages proper body alignment

The slow, controlled nature of Tai Chi makes it accessible for people of varying abilities. Our supportive environment welcomes those who might feel unsure about physical activity, with chair-assisted options available throughout the class.

No prior experience is necessary, and all movements can be modified to suit your individual needs. Wear comfortable clothing that allows free movement, and flat, supportive footwear. Join our friendly Kiwi community and discover how this ancient practice can support your modern lifestyle.
