Perfect summer evening for tai chi in the Cornwall Park. 62 participants flowed through the tai chi movements together in the late afternoon sunshine. We finished with a selection of exercises for the Year of the Fire Horse Qigong, which was a lot of fun. (The photos are from several angles so I could get you all in.)

The next free tai chi session in the park will be at 9am on Sunday morning, 1st March (weather permitting). Find out more: https://www.kiaorataichi.nz/free-tai-chi/

69 people joined our free tai chi session in Cornwall Park this morning. A huge thank you to qualified instructor Pauline, who taught everyone tai chi steps that have been especially helpful for the management of Type 2 Diabetes. Whether you have diabetes or not, tai chi is good for all of us as it helps to reduce stress, improve sleep, and increase strength and flexibility.

The long-range weather forecast is looking positive for the evening Tues 24 Feb, when there'll be another free session of tai chi in the park at 6pm. If we have to cancel due to rain, the cancellation notice will be on the Kia Ora Tai Chi page.

CANCELLED: Tai chi tonight (Tues 17 Feb) in Cornwall Park. Rain is predicted between 5 - 9pm. I am sorry about this tai chi whānau and really disappointed as I wanted to share special tai chi and qigong for the Lunar New Year. Snow Rabbit is also very sad.

However, these new year celebrations continue for around 15 days and I look forward teaching you about "Fire Horse Qigong" at Sunday's tai session in the park (22nd Feb). Best wishes for the Lunar New Year to you and your loved ones.

44 people flowed together with gentle tai chi and qigong in Cornwall Park this evening. It was a bit breezy, but the rain stayed away, allowing us to breathe, move, and enjoy the qi together under the trees.

I'm grateful to everyone who came along (despite the threat of rain). There’s something special about moving as one in nature. Thank you.

Note: There is no tai chi session in the park this coming Sunday 8 February (Waitangi Weekend). I look forward to seeing everyone again at the next free summer tai chi session, which will be held on Tues 10 Feb, 6pm (weather permitting)
