Australian Academy of Tai Chi & Qigong

Tai Chi classes at the Australian Academy of Tai Chi offer a gentle and relaxing way for older adults to stay active and improve their overall wellbeing. The Academy teaches Tai Chi as an ancient form of moving meditation, using slow, flowing movements that are easy to learn and suitable for all fitness levels.

These classes help improve balance, flexibility, and muscle strength, which are important for staying steady on your feet and reducing the risk of falls. The calm, deep‑breathing style of Tai Chi also supports mental and emotional health by lowering stress and helping you feel more focused and relaxed. The Academy’s curriculum combines traditional Chinese exercises that are designed to support long‑term health and longevity, while keeping safety in mind.

Classes are available in many locations across Australia, making it easy to find a group near you. Practising Tai Chi regularly can help you stay mobile, improve your mood, and connect with others in a friendly, supportive environment—making it a great activity for healthy ageing.
