Developed by Leanne Simpson, CEO/Principal trainer of Balance Minder, Time Out Tai Chi started its adventure as an illustrated children’s book of the same name as we were asked to encourage Welcoming Jing into our lives through the gentle breathing exercises of tai chi. Jing is a Panda, the new animal at the zoo and can also be translated to mean serenity. Evolving now into a community wellness & exercise class with Leaders from around the country.
Feeling fit and healthy is for every body. All should have the chance to improve the health and wellness of their body and mind. That’s why we offer solutions to improve your wellness; no matter what your fitness level, health or injury condition, or time available. To do this it takes a 3 stream approach with Community Classes, Online Programs and Learn to Teach and all have the option of exercising Off your Feet (seated) or On your Feet (standing).
Designed to be shared with toddlers through to older adults, it has been a part of wellness options for people in crisis through to health promotion or in their own home because of busy lives, being a Carer, mental health distress and illness. It’s about creating a sense of belonging regardless of where you are in your fitness journey.
Being a modern-day adaption of an ancient art, Time Out Tai Chi celebrates our connection to the Australian environment and animals while teaching valuable breathing and relaxation techniques while doing gentle exercise.
