The Butler Area Public Library, 218 N. McKean St., will host a beginner’s Tai Chi class courtesy of Rothrock’s Kung Fu and Tai Chi of Butler at 1 p.m. July 19.

Tai Chi is a slow-motion, low-impact exercise, and self-defense system designed for people that want to improve muscle tone and flexibility. Tai Chi does not require great strength, nor does it involve strenuous physical exertion. Tai Chi can be performed by anyone, regardless of age.

Wear loose fitting clothing and athletic shoes. Registration and a participation waiver are required. Contact Dianne at dmccauley@bcfls.org, or call the library at 724-287-1715, to register.
