Tai Chi and Qigong Classes at Orewa

In a typical session, you'll practice gentle movements with mindfulness and controlled breathing. These classes focus on ancient Chinese practices that connect mind and body. They take place at the Orewa Community Centre in Orewa, Auckland, and suit those with reasonable mobility who can walk without help, move around without difficulty, and have average strength and balance. The instructor is Brian Barton, and you can reach him at 021 747 947 or brianbarton8@gmail.com.

Participants learn traditional movements that improve balance and stability, reduce stress and anxiety, enhance flexibility and joint mobility, strengthen muscles without high-impact stress, and promote better sleep and overall wellbeing. No prior experience is needed, and the group welcomes people from the older community who feel comfortable with physical activities. Wear comfortable clothing and flat-soled shoes or socks for free movement.
