On the first and third Thursday of the month join Jorge Banales as he gives instruction on the Yang Style 24 Movement Tai Chi form.

Tai Chi movements can be practiced by people of all ages and, as the form involves balanced walking, it results in a relaxed aerobic exercise for major muscle groups and the circulatory system. 

The practice of Tai Chi also benefits the mind, and learning the form, with keen awareness of body movements and balance, leads to an increase in mental sharpness.

Please wear loose comfortable, warm clothing and class is held outside in the reading garden. Please register for class. Class will be canceled due to inclement weather, cancelations will be reflected on the library event page, registered parties will be notified.
