In honor of World Tai Chi and Qigong Day on Saturday, April 26, the Butler County Family YMCA held a free Tai Chi demonstration the following day, with regular YMCA Tai Chi instructor Bill Weber leading the demonstration.
Weber teaches both beginner and advanced Tai Chi classes regularly at the YMCA on twice a week, at 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Monday and Thursday. These classes charge a fee to participate, but Sunday’s demonstration was free of charge.
