Relax and stretch at this entry-level class. Enhance your strength, balance and energy. Come and learn from Tai Chi and Qigong teacher Sandy Jiang. A special chance for the whole family to try out this ancient flowing art form. All ages welcome!
Sandy Jiang was born in Taiwan and has been trained by leading Zhineng Qigong and Tai Chi teachers in Taiwan, China and New Zealand.
Her Tai Chi teachers include Master Tang Yu-Shiun who is 100 years-old now and lives healthily in Christchurch, and Master Dave Thew who represented NZ in the 4th World Traditional Martial Arts Championships in China and attained Gold and Silver in 2010.
Qigong is the foundation of Tai Chi. Through regular Qigong and Tai Chi practices, Sandy's students have gained different kinds of health benefits, physically, mentally and spiritually. Several of her students have also become Qigong teachers.
*Please be sure to wear comfortable flat shoes and loose clothing – arrive early to ensure you don't miss a beat!

Artists' Toolbox Term 2 2024
Do you know a young person who loves to make art? Artists' Toolbox is a seven-week after-school course that runs each term on Wednesdays.
Designed for 8-12 year olds, the lessons cover the ‘how to’ skills that every young artist can use to develop their artwork. Students will draw, paint, print and sculpt their way through a series of activities that will teach them the artists' tools such as tone, depth, space and colour. Perfect for the young artist who is keen to sharpen their skills. Each term is a slightly different programme and all materials are provided.
