Smiling Dragon Tai Chi & Qigong

19/12/2025

🎄 Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Joyous New Year to all my tai chi qigong friends and family ❤️

🎉 It’s been a wonderfully busy year with 410 Smiling Dragon Tai Chi & Qigong sessions! Five days a week, 11 sessions each week, including the new evening class in Pukekohe.

🎉 I enjoyed several fun and engaging Tai Chi for Health Instructor Training Workshops and Update sessions. Well done to all of the participants.

❤️ I attended the Exercise NZ Conference in Auckland recently, where I was a presenter on Tai Chi for Rehabilitation: A Transformative Approach

While doing some end-of-year admin, I discovered a couple of milestones worth celebrating too…

✨ 20 years as a Tai Chi for Health (TCHI) Instructor
✨ 10 years as Dr Paul Lam’s Tai Chi Productions (TCP) NZ Agent ... mailing 4,444 TCP instructional resources and supporting our NZ Tai Chi & Qigong community to improve health and wellbeing.

Check my website homepage each month for TCP Specials!

🙏I am deeply grateful to every one of you who has supported me, practised with me, and shared this journey over the years.

Thank you for being part of my tai chi qigong family.

2026 Smiling Dragon Tai Chi & Qigong sessions start 2 Feb 2026.
I have some exciting TCHI workshops lined up in Christchurch, Auckland and more locations ... Keep and eye on my website for updates www.smilingdragon.co.nz

Peace, Love & Smiles
Tamara 😊
