Experience the Holistic Benefits of Taoist Tai Chi 🌿

Taoist Tai Chi™ arts originate from ancient Chinese traditions that view health as a harmony between body, mind, and spirit. These gentle, flowing movements create a moving meditation that can significantly improve your wellbeing. 🌟

Practicing Taoist Tai Chi regularly helps:

  • Improve physical health - enhancing strength, flexibility and balance
  • Reduce stress - calming the mind through focused movement
  • Increase energy - stimulating circulation and vitality
  • Build community - connect with like-minded people in a supportive environment

Taoist Tai Chi is particularly beneficial for older adults, helping to maintain mobility, prevent falls, and manage chronic conditions. The gentle, continuous movements work deeply into muscles and joints without strain, making it accessible for those with reasonable mobility.

As noted by Harvard Medical School, "Tai chi is often described as meditation in motion, but it might well be called medication in motion." Research shows it can help with arthritis, heart disease, blood pressure regulation, and overall wellbeing. 💚

Our Nelson classes welcome both beginners and experienced practitioners. The supportive atmosphere and experienced instructors ensure you'll learn at your own pace in a friendly Kiwi environment.

Come along to one of our introductory sessions on Monday or Thursday and discover how Taoist Tai Chi can transform your health and enrich your life. No booking required - just turn up in comfortable clothes and be prepared to feel both energised and relaxed after your session!
