Most people who undertake our course do not wish to do the assessment and that’s ok! For those looking to gain a formal certificate enabling them to teach the Time Out Tai Chi program, an assessment fee is payable at lodgement. For more information about the assessment, learn more here . 

You can practice as often or as little as you like – your practice, your way. Research has shown us that repetition does assist in creating muscle memory and consistent practice can produce better results. How often you practice is completely up to you. 

You can do mindful movement literally anywhere! Ideal for when you’re feeling stressed and things feel like they’re getting on top of you, you can practice the moves wherever you need to. There is no special equipment required and because the program is available on mobile, you can take it anywhere! Feeling stressed out in a queue? Breathe using the techniques learnt to control the chaos within the mind and restore some balance.

Time Out Tai Chi can be done with or without music. Our classes are often done to music of various genres, and it can be a great way to get the kids involved. You can check out Balance Minder’s playlists in Spotify. We also provide some copyright free music for your personal use.

We’ve developed this program for people of all ages and abilities. Perhaps someone in the family isn’t so steady on their feet – we offer a seated version as well! Children of all ages enjoy learning and being involved in the classes so why not let them join in too?

NOTE: You should not exercise beyond your own abilities and should be cleared by a medical professional before beginning an exercise program. If you know or are concerned that you have a medical condition which might interfere with you exercising safely, you should get advice from a relevant medical professional and follow that advice before using our program. We take no responsibility for any injuries or losses caused by the misuse of the program.
We would encourage you to have a quick, confidential chat to help put your mind at ease. Mindful Movement Mentorship has been designed to be inclusive of people with all manner of health concerns. It is a great practice for people who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, signs of aging or who have disabilities. While it is not a cure the wonderful endorphins created from this mindful movement will be beneficial.
