(*Will not occur on 02/19/19, 04/02/19, 05/14/19, and 05/21/19.)

For preschoolers. Happens in the library and the East Room.

This new, 75-minute class will include a (slightly) shortened version of Medical Qigong for Older Adults and an introduction to Dr. Paul Lam’s, “Tai Chi for Memory”.

Qigong is a program of simple yet profound exercises taken from the ancient Taoist traditions and Chinese medical system. By coordinating breath and movement in enjoyable, easy to learn patterns and stretches, we move together towards optimum health and well-being.

We are discovering a possibility of a longevity we can enjoy, with practices that are easy to learn and which will continue to unfold, nourish us, and deepen over time.

Class is intended for older adults, 55+. Wear comfortable clothing. Contact library to register; space is limited. Must commit to full series for 6-weeks. Free.

Happens on the Third Floor. (There is an elevator in the rear of the building if needed.)
