(Experienced people only)
Tai Chi, sometimes referred to as meditation in motion, is a slow, gentle, safe, enjoyable form of choreographed movement, which is known for its many health and well-being benefits.
The purpose of our weekly classes (in addition to having fun), is for members to learn, and continue to develop, the practice of a prescribed form of Tai Chi and its complementary art Qigong.
Our emphasis is on strengthening the external, internal, and mental health of participants, which results from the special type of movement learned in Tai Chi.
The chief instructor is Steve Schapel, who has 18 years’ experience in teaching Tai Chi. For enquiries, contact him at steve@tcqci.club or 021-640733.
The basic cost is $8 per class (first visit free) – or there are a number of discounted subscription options available.

Pop Pilates
2026-08-02 10:15 - 11:15, 2026-08-03 18:30 - 19:35, 2026-08-05 18:30 - 19:35, 2026-08-09 10:15 - 11:15
Pop Pilates is an upbeat workout, where you can expect to move to the beat of top-rated popular music while completing Pilates-inspired moves. POP Pilates is a strength and flexibility workout and can be done in bare feet on nothing but a yoga mat. There’s absolutely no equipment needed (other than the mat), because all of the resistance work is done using your own bodyweight.
​
Modifications are provided for nearly all of the moves. There is no jumping around, no confusing or fast-moving choreography, and there is plenty of stretching, which feels just plain good.
EMpowerEd Training gives you clear direction, offers options for making each move more or less challenging and gives coaching cues to make sure your form is correct and on point — and most importantly – makes sure you are getting the most you can out of the move.
