Benefits of Seated and Standing Exercise Classes

Noho Pakari Tū Kaha (seated exercise with standing strength and balance) offers numerous benefits for participants of various mobility levels. These classes are particularly valuable for older adults and those looking to improve their functional fitness in a supportive environment.

Why join our seated and standing exercise class?

• Improves core strength and stability essential for everyday activities
• Enhances balance to reduce fall risk and build confidence
• Promotes better posture and reduces back pain
• Maintains and improves joint mobility and flexibility
• Creates a supportive social environment to combat isolation
• Provides adaptable exercises that can be modified to suit your ability

The class structure alternates between seated exercises that build foundational strength and standing activities that challenge balance and functional movement. This combination is ideal for gradually building confidence and capability.

In traditional Māori health philosophy, physical wellbeing (taha tinana) is one of the four cornerstones of hauora (health). Noho Pakari Tū Kaha embraces this holistic approach, supporting participants to strengthen their physical foundation in a culturally responsive setting.

Whether you use a walking aid, are regaining confidence after illness or injury, or simply want to maintain your mobility as you age, this class provides appropriate challenges and modifications to meet you where you are.
