Experience the Benefits of Tai Chi in Gisborne

Tai Chi (Taijiquan) is an ancient Chinese martial art that has evolved into a graceful form of exercise that's now used for stress reduction and a variety of other health conditions. Often described as "meditation in motion," Tai Chi promotes serenity through gentle, flowing movements.

Why try Tai Chi?

• Improve balance and stability - particularly important for older adults
• Enhance muscle strength and flexibility without strain
• Reduce stress and anxiety through mindful movement
• Boost energy levels and stamina naturally
• Support joint health and ease discomfort

The Silent Flute approach to Taijiquan creates a peaceful atmosphere where you can focus on your breathing and movement without distraction. The serene setting of Gisborne's Botanical Gardens provides the perfect backdrop for this mindful practice.

No prior experience is necessary to begin - these classes accommodate those who may use walking aids or have reduced mobility, as well as those with reasonable fitness levels. The movements can be adapted to suit your individual needs and abilities.

Tai Chi is particularly beneficial for Kiwis looking for a low-impact exercise option that still provides significant health benefits. Many practitioners report improved sleep, better concentration, and an overall sense of wellbeing after regular practice.
