Whānau and friends are all welcome. There will be resting places for kaumātua and kuia (older people) and those unable to walk far.
Free tai chi and qigong, too, which will be taught by me at around 11 – 11:30am. Ideal for beginners.
As well as my more usual tai chi, I will also teach a series of breathing movements called Hikitia te Hā. The translation is “Uplifting Breathing” and this is very much like qigong. I will teach this in Te Reo as well as English.
RSVP: Not required, just come along
What to wear: Warm, comfortable clothes that you can move in. Please wear flat-soled shoes like sneakers and trainers.
