Benefits of Seated Tai Chi for Wellness and Mobility 🌿

Seated Tai Chi is a wonderful adaptation of traditional Tai Chi that brings the benefits of this ancient Chinese practice to everyone, regardless of mobility challenges. This gentle form of exercise combines flowing movements with deep breathing and mindfulness.

For kiwis looking to improve their wellbeing, seated Tai Chi offers numerous benefits:

• Improved strength and flexibility - Even from a seated position, the gentle movements help maintain and build muscle tone and joint mobility
• Better balance and coordination - Regular practice can enhance proprioception and body awareness
• Stress reduction - The meditative aspects help calm the mind and reduce anxiety
• Enhanced breathing - Focused breathing techniques improve lung capacity and oxygen flow
• Mental clarity - The combination of movement and mindfulness supports cognitive function
• Social connection - Joining a regular class provides valuable community interaction

Seated Tai Chi is particularly beneficial for older adults or those recovering from injury, as it provides a safe way to engage in physical activity without placing stress on the joints. The movements can be adapted to suit individual needs, making it accessible for various abilities.

The active meditation component creates a holistic approach to wellness, addressing both physical and mental health simultaneously. This mind-body connection is at the heart of Tai Chi practice and offers a refreshing alternative to conventional exercise programmes.

No previous experience is necessary to begin enjoying the benefits of seated Tai Chi. The supportive environment at Selwyn Village makes it easy to learn at your own pace while feeling comfortable and included. 🌟
