EFT Tapping & Tai Chi together? - What a great idea!

EFT (a.k.a. Tapping) has been on the world stage for years, and is great for stress and anxiety reduction, pain relief and emotional wellbeing

Tai Chi has been around for decades, and it too is of great benefit for stress relief and emotional wellbeing, as well as strength and balance, breathing, posture, coordination and so much more

I'm putting them together in classes which will be done sitting down!

If you know anyone who is interested in Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and Tai Chi, or who is wheelchair-bound, or maybe cannot stand for any length of time, then this may be of interest to you

I am looking to add 45 minutes - 60 minutes sessions combining Emotional Freedom Techniques (a.k.a. Tapping) with Tai Chi classes to my offerings at Te Kupenga o Rongomai - Maidstone Sports Hub

If interested please contact me on here or via 0211532508
