Tai Chi
Join certified instructor Scott Larsen every week for a free class in the gentle, meditative martial art known as Tai Chi. Practiced throughout the world for its numerous health benefits, many of Tai Chi's slow movements and deep breathing techniques are easy to learn and suitable for people of all ages and abilities.*
*No equipment is necessary, but please wear lightweight, comfortable shoes and loose-fitting clothing that doesn't restrict your range of motion. Though Tai Chi is a safe, low-impact form of exercise, it is always recommended that you consult your doctor before beginning any new fitness program-especially if you have any limiting physical or medical conditions (such as joint problems, back pain, diabetes, heart disease, circulation issues, etc.) or are taking any medications that can make you dizzy or lightheaded.
First-time attendees may be asked to sign a waiver.
Registration is requested (email reminders will be sent to those who register) but drop-ins are welcome.
Note: This class may be held in different spaces in the library (or outdoors) depending on the week and what space is available. Please check in with a librarian at the desk if you are unsure of where to go.
