Seniors enhance mind, body in library’s Tai Chi
Most consider the library as a place to enhance the mind only, but Tuesday afternoon seniors worked the mind and body in a beginner Tai Chi course.
Rob Pagonis, chief instructor of Rothrock’s Kung Fu and Tai Chi in Butler Township, led community members through the basics of the practice in the Butler Area Public Library’s basement, 218 N. McKean St.
Tai Chi is a 3,000-year-old, slow-motion exercise invented in China for older individuals, according to Pagonis.
About 20 community members registered for the one-time introduction course. Dianne McCauley, adult program coordinator at the library, said this is the first time Tai Chi has been held at the library.
