For Smiling Dragon Tai Chi & Qigong

“We would highly recommend Tamara from Smiling Dragon Tai Chi for any corporate or team activity as a wonderful wellness option. Our 30 team members enjoyed this unique and fun experience.  With Tamara’s clear and calm instruction this gentle movement activity was accessible to all .    It was great to get outside, get our feet on the grass and enjoy the natural surrounds. It definitely helped alleviate the after lunch slump in our conference – with everyone returning looking more relaxed, with a smile on their faces.    Due to the appeal of Tamara’s activity we are going to book in the “Breathe” experience in our office as a follow up to help staff with Mindfulness and Wellbeing.“ Heather Greaves – Marketing Manager, Asaleo Care NZ

“They say time flies when you’re having fun, and that’s certainly been true for us. When the boys and I started Tai Chi on 21 February 2023, everything was new, and I felt a little like a duck out of water. From the very beginning, though, the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. We never felt judged—only encouraged and supported. As a homeschooling family, Tai Chi has become a highlight of our week. It’s not just a chance for Mum to recharge; it’s also wonderful for our physical and mental wellbeing. We’ve loved the friendships we’ve made and the opportunity to learn alongside people from different generations and backgrounds. We are so grateful to be part of this amazing group and especially thankful to Tamara for her guidance, patience, and encouragement as we continue to learn and grow. We couldn’t recommend it more highly!” Yolandie – Students Waiuku

“I have been attending Tai Chi classes with Tamara for 8 yrs now and thoroughly enjoy them. I started because I’d damaged some vertebrae in my lower spine. The exercises have been good at keeping my spine flexible and generally pain free. We have a good group attending and I look forward to classes each week.” Ngaire – Student Mauku Hall Class

“I had seen Tai chi in the parks in Hongkong and was intrigued. When Tamara started classes in Pukekohe 20 years ago I signed up and have enjoyed the benefits. The mind focus, the calmness the movements bring, and of course the socialising aspect. I am now 91 and will certainly continue tai chi. Thank you Tamara.” (2026) Jean – Student Pukekohe and Zoom Classes
