Experience Yin and Yang Through Your Body
Yin and Yang are two complementary qualities found throughout life—in the sun and moon, day and night, movement and stillness. Together, they create a natural balance.
Modern life often pulls us towards Yang—doing, thinking and reacting—making it harder to connect with Yin: resting, feeling and receiving.
Through energising movement and vibration, Qigong, breathing and stillness, this class invites you to experience the balance of Yin and Yang in your own body—awakening energy without losing calm, and feeling vitality within stillness.
What You’ll Experience
Qigong Movement and Vibration
Simple, energising movements and rhythmic vibration to awaken the body, release everyday tension and bring your attention out of the busy mind and back into your body.
Yin and Yang Balance
Experience the contrast and connection between dynamic movement and stillness, strength and softness, activity and rest.
Breathing and Energy Awareness
Guided breathing and awareness practices to help bring energy back to your centre and deepen your connection with your body.
Grounding and Quiet Observation
A period of stillness to notice your breathing, physical sensations and state of mind without judgement or expectation.
The class includes both active movement and quieter practices, all guided step by step.
What You’ll Experience
- Feel physically tense, stiff, heavy or tired
- Find it difficult to switch off a busy mind
- Want to feel more grounded and present
- Are curious about Qigong, Tai Chi, meditation or energy practices
- Would like to nurture your wellbeing within a warm, welcoming community
No previous experience is needed. You do not need to be flexible, physically fit or experienced in meditation.
Everything will be guided step by step.
Meet Your Trainer
The sessions will be guided by Ada, Head Trainer at Body & Brain New Zealand.
With more than 18 years of teaching experience in Japan and New Zealand, Ada helps people explore the connection between their body, brain, emotions and energy.
Her approach is practical, personal and supportive, helping you develop awareness of your own body and discover what genuinely works for you.

Brain, Body & Emotional Balance
Create Space Between Emotion and Reaction
Learn through your body how to pause, feel and choose your response—rather than being carried away by automatic reactions.
Brief explanations will be combined with direct, body-based practice using movement, tapping, breathing and guided meditation.

10.00–11.30 am
Body & Brain Training Centre, Rosedale
NZ$15 per person
Small group · Held indoors · Beginner-friendly
Why We React Before We Realise It
Our thoughts, emotions, attention and physical state continuously influence one another. When an emotion rises, the body may tighten and the mind may begin reacting before we have consciously chosen what to do.
Trying to think your way out of this pattern is not always enough.
This workshop draws on Body & Brain’s holistic Brain Education approach to self-regulation. Through sensory stimulation, coordinated movement, breathing and energy awareness, you will explore how returning your attention to the body can create a pause between emotion and reaction.
That pause can open the possibility of responding with greater awareness, steadiness and choice.
What Participants Have Noticed
- Feeling less carried away by emotions and more able to pause before reacting
- A sense of lightness in the body and mind, together with deeper grounding
- Less mental chatter and a clearer awareness of what they are truly feeling
- A feeling of release, inner space and a freer, more open state of awareness
These changes are not something you need to force. The practices create an opportunity to notice what may naturally shift when your body, attention and breathing begin working together.
What You’ll Experience
- Body tapping to awaken physical sensation and bring attention into the present moment
- Simple coordination movements that engage the brain and body together
- Movement and breathing practices to develop body awareness
- Guided energy-awareness meditation, followed by quiet observation
Each practice is designed to help you notice your automatic patterns and explore a more conscious response through the body.
Beginner-Friendly and Supportive
No previous experience is needed. Every practice will be guided step by step, and you can participate at a pace that feels comfortable for your body.
There is no pressure to share personal experiences or produce a particular emotional response. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely.

Eastern Wisdom in Motion
Sound Meditation, Bowing & Qigong Workshop
Experience Eastern wisdom through sound, movement and awareness.
This workshop offers an experiential introduction to the Chun Bu Kyung, a traditional Eastern text used in meditation.
Rather than studying the words only with the mind, you will be invited to experience their sound and resonance through your own voice and body.
Through sound meditation, rhythmic bowing and Qigong, you can slow down, bring your awareness back to your body and explore your own sense of energy.
What You’ll Experience
- A simple introduction to the energy principles explored in this practice
- Guided sound meditation
- Awareness of vibration and resonance
- Bowing Meditation — a rhythmic moving meditation
- Qigong movements to support body and energy awareness
You do not need any experience with Qigong, bowing or meditation.
The sounds and movements will be introduced step by step. The emphasis is not on performing perfectly, but on feeling your body and noticing your own experience.

Brain, Body & Emotional Balance
A Holistic Brain Education Workshop
Explore a body-based approach to attention, emotions and energy awareness.
Our thoughts, emotions and physical state do not exist separately. How we move, where we place our attention and what we notice in the body can all shape our moment-to-moment experience.
This practical workshop introduces the Brain Education approach to holistic wellbeing.
Through body tapping, simple coordination movements and guided energy-awareness meditation, you will explore the connection between your brain, body, emotions and sense of energy.
What You’ll Experience
- Body tapping to awaken physical sensation and bring attention into the present moment
- Simple coordination movements that invite your brain and body to work in new ways
- Movement and breathing practices to develop body awareness
- Guided energy-awareness meditation
- Quiet time to observe your thoughts, emotions and physical sensations
There is no pressure to discuss personal experiences or produce a particular emotional response.
You are invited to notice whatever you experience, without judgement or expectation, and to participate at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

What Makes Body & Brain Different?
Body & Brain is not simply an exercise class and it is not simply meditation.
We use the body as the starting point.
Through movement, breathing and awareness, you learn to notice your body more clearly, settle your mind and develop a stronger sense of your own energy.
At the heart of our approach is a natural healing philosophy — supporting the body’s natural functions and our own capacity for rest, balance and self-awareness.
Some days the practice is gentle and quiet.
Other days it may be more dynamic.
The purpose is not to perform movements perfectly.
It is to become more connected with yourself.
12 Years — And a New Beginning
Our 12th anniversary is an opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has been part of Body & Brain New Zealand over the years—and to warmly welcome those we have not yet met.
More than anything, we hope these anniversary experiences give you an opportunity to create a little more space for yourself.
We would be very happy to welcome you.
