Local libraries offering free beginner Tai chi classes
Metro Wire Staff
Portage Co. branch libraries are offering free Tai Chi classes beginning Sept. 11.
Tai chi teaches participants ways to improve their overall mind, body, and spirit through a series of slow, continuous movements that promote balance, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, and strength. Designed for people of all levels of health, Tai chi is considered a meditative therapy which may reduce depression and help people focus and sleep better.
Classes for beginners start Sept. 11 at 9:30 a.m. and lasts about 40 minutes at branch locations in Plover, 2151 Roosevelt Dr., and Rosholt, 137 N. Main St.
