Experience the Ancient Wellness Practices of Tai Chi & Qi Gong 🌿

Tai Chi and Qi Gong are ancient Chinese movement practices that combine gentle physical postures, breathing techniques, and focused intention. These mindful movement traditions have been practiced for centuries and continue to gain popularity in New Zealand for their impressive health benefits.

Tai Chi, often described as "meditation in motion," features slow, flowing movements that transition smoothly from one pose to the next. Qi Gong (pronounced "chee-gung") consists of coordinated body movements, breathing, and awareness exercises to cultivate and balance your vital energy or "qi."

Benefits you might experience include:

• Improved balance, flexibility and coordination
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Better sleep quality
• Enhanced mental clarity and focus
• Greater body awareness and posture
• Gentle strengthening without strain

These practices are particularly valuable for Kiwis looking to maintain mobility and wellbeing throughout life. The gentle nature of the movements makes them accessible while still providing meaningful physical and mental benefits.

No special equipment or prior experience is needed - just wear comfortable clothing that allows free movement. Come along to experience this mindful approach to wellness that has supported health and vitality for generations! 🍃
