Tai Chi? In the library? A friend has taught yoga there previously, and yoga and Tai Chi are not that far apart. In college, every time I tried to sign up for the Tai Chi class (in hopes of fulfilling that pesky phys. ed requirement) it was full. After taking the mandated number of phys. ed classes, I was finally able to get into the Tai Chi class during my final semester. It was fun, relaxing, and I loved the instructor. She was my height, possibly shorter, but when she gave a demo of the movements sped up, the guys in the class backed away. I remember that she did this kick in the air, and that from the back of the studio, I could hear the sound of her foot cutting the air.
Free Tai Chi classes will be held at the main branch of the library from January 8th through February 5th from 5:30-6:45pm. Participants should wear clothing conducive to movement. Tai Chi involves slow, gentle movements; essentially, it’s a moving meditation.
