Learn how Tai Chi can improve your energy, balance, health, and stress through mindfulness and slow movement. Beginners are welcome. Register online, in person, or by phone at 330.376.2927.

Come and play Tai Chi to learn how this "internal" Chinese martial art can boost your energy, improve your balance, and help you reduce and manage stress.

The slow movements and mindful breathing make Tai Chi the perfect exercise for people of all ages and physical abilities...from the couch potato to the athlete.

Recognized by our National Institutes of Health as a Complementary and Integrative Health Approach, Tai Chi practice has been shown to improve cardiorespiratory function, strength, balance, flexibility, circulation, and left/right brain integration.

Nancy Gardner is a certified Tai Chi and Qigong instructor, a state-licensed massage therapist, and a Polarity Therapy practitioner. She has been training in Qigong and martial arts since 1985, teaching professionally since 1994. Combining these disciplines with stress-management techniques and energy exercises, Nancy creates individualized programs for various organizations tailored to their goals. She has presented locally, regionally, and internationally.

About the branch

Highland Square is one of Akron’s most iconic communities, hosting numerous street fairs and festivals, eclectic shopping and dining, and a vibrant night life. The extremely diverse neighborhood is home to seniors, young families, artists, educators, and students of all demographics. The Highland Square Branch Library is a reflection of this diverse neighborhood, with a standout LGBTQ collection and a rich programming schedule.

Reference assistance, computers and computer classes, WiFi, copiers, scanning, and faxing round out the services provided within the library. The full scope of community participation, however, is seen in local senior care facilities, local schools and preschools, and neighborhood festivals where Highland Square Branch Library staff plays an active role in creating experiences for participants of all ages. Visit us soon on the Square.
