Tamara Bennett

My passion is to inspire people and give them tools to create their own wellness, and for me to discover and learn new ways to help people do this.

My tai chi & qigong journey began in 1999 for health reasons. My personal journey to wellness inspired me to want to learn, share and help others.
I am an international Tai Chi for Health Institute (TCHI) Master Trainer authorised to train and qualify TCHI instructors for the following programmes: Tai Chi for Arthritis and Falls Prevention (including TCA Part 2), Seated Tai Chi for Arthritis; Tai Chi for Rehabilitation, Tai Chi for Diabetes, Tai Chi for Heart Conditions, Tai Chi for Memory, Tai Chi for Life, Qigong for Health, Tai Chi for Energy, and Tai Chi 4 Kidz.

Tai Chi for Health programs are different from other tai chi, as they are scientifically proven to be effective for health and well-being and endorsed by many international organisations.

I also share my knowledge with weekly community tai chi groups in Franklin District south of Auckland, and run regular ZOOM classes. I’m on the Executive Committee for the Franklin Health Group Inc.
I have been a FitEx presenter for since 2018

  • TAI CHI 4 KIDZ

    Session Type: Group Exercise

    This is a TCHI program that not only addresses your students’ needs, but will simultaneously support your own health, too! Learn how to guide your students toward mindful relaxation and emotional control. You can be happier and healthier while you empower your students to regulate emotions, reduce stress, improve cognitive function and focus, increase coordination, flexibility, and balance. Tai chi has an almost magical effect on health improvements. Kids love to learn and they learn very quickly, especially when engaged in a fun activity! This specially-designed Tai Chi program emphasises the fun elements while developing their mind and body. It is designed in several small building blocks to capture their attention, incorporating imagery and games to add appeal to kids. We have found that kids really enjoy learning it!
