- Tai Chi QIGong from 1.05 to 1.45 pm. Tai Chi Qigong offers an ideal way to grasp the essence of Tai Chi through energy work, or Qi Gong, comprised of 18 postures designed to enhance the health and vitality of the body, mind, and spirit. Combining mindful movement with gentle, relaxed breathing, students become more aware of their entire bodies, recognising and releasing tension patterns to regulate energy and achieve optimal health. Join us to explore and experience the profound benefits of Tai Chi Qigong.
- Zumba from 1.05pm to 1.50pm. Zumba fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy to follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind class that will blow you away. Gemma brings buckets of energy and creates a supportive environment.
- Body Conditioning from 5.05pm to 5.50pm. This class is suitable for all fitness levels. You start the class with a warm up. The class uses dumbells to create a workout that challenges you and improves muscular strength. You will work on the lower body, the upper body and core. The method of training creates a high intensity and high energy class.
