Experience the Benefits of Modified Tai Chi 🧘‍♀️

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese practice combining gentle, flowing movements with mindful breathing. This modified version caters to Kiwis of all abilities, with options to participate while seated if needed.

Why try Modified Tai Chi?

• Improves balance and reduces fall risk
• Enhances flexibility and joint mobility
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Strengthens muscles gently without strain
• Promotes better breathing and relaxation
• Supports cognitive function

The seated component makes this class particularly accessible for those who may find standing for extended periods challenging, while still offering the full range of Tai Chi benefits. More mobile participants can transition between seated and standing exercises as needed.

This traditional Chinese movement practice is known for its slow, deliberate motions that promote the flow of "qi" (energy) throughout the body. Modified for Kiwi practitioners of varying abilities, Gretchen's class maintains the essence of Tai Chi while ensuring everyone can participate safely and comfortably.

No prior experience is necessary, and the supportive atmosphere at Summerset Richmond Ranges makes it an ideal environment for beginners. Regular practice can lead to noticeable improvements in overall wellbeing, coordination, and mental clarity.

Join us for a session that nurtures both body and mind through ancient wisdom adapted for modern needs. 🍃
