For the Days When You Find It Hard to Unwind
Perhaps your shoulders stay tense after work. Your thoughts keep going when you want to rest. Or you want to take better care of yourself but are unsure where to begin.
Starter 5 gives you a clear first step: guided practice, personal support and the chance to experience our regular classes before deciding about membership.
The aim is to discover a practice you can return to—not just during a class, but in everyday life.
Why Begin with Five Sessions?
One class gives you a first impression. Starter 5 gives you three class experiences, with individual guidance before and after.
Session 1
Begin with a Body & Energy Check
In your first one-to-one session, Ada guides you through a simple body and energy check to explore how you move, where you hold tension and how you sense your energy.
Session 2-4
Experience Three Regular Classes
Try the training as it is practised at our centre. Become familiar with the movements and explore how the combination of active and quieter practices feels for you.
Session 5
Deepen Your Experience
In your second one-to-one session, Ada guides you through further practice to deepen your body and energy awareness and explore what feels helpful for you.
Then decide whether you would like to continue. There is no automatic enrolment into membership.
All five sessions: NZ$89 total.
What Will You Actually Do?
Body & Brain Training combines movement with breathing, stillness and attention to physical sensations.
Depending on the class, practices include:
Qigong and Tai Chi
Guided movements that explore balance, coordination and grounding.
Meridian Stretching and Vibration
Active practices that bring your attention to your body.
Breathing and energy awareness
Noticing your breath and sensations such as warmth, tingling or movement between your hands.
Meditation and Quiet Observation
Time to observe your body, breath and thoughts without judgement.
You will be guided step by step and encouraged to notice your own experience. You can rest when needed and participate at a pace that feels right for you.
No previous experience, flexibility or fitness level is required.
