Back by popular demand - tai chi classes


Fall tai chi classes will once again be offered by the Library beginning in September. Our last sessions filled up quickly so sign up now! The classes will be taught by Diana Hobgood, a certified strength and conditioning specialist and certified massage specialist.

The class times are as follows:
2:00 pm on Mondays: September 8 - October 27
10:00 am on Saturdays: September 6 - November 1 (no class on Sep 27)

Each class is 8 weeks long and there is a $40 registration fee which is due before classes begin. Class size is limited, so please register early by stopping by the Library at 101 South Main Street. (Checks or cash only, please)

Benefits of tai chi exercise, which is a slow, gentle exercise system based on Chinese martial arts, include:
  • improved posture
  • flexibility
  • balance
  • lower body strength
  • coordination
  • physical endurance
  • breath control
  • stress management

If you have questions, please call the Library at 826-3712.
