Port Orange Regional Library is set to host an innovative class scheduled from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on October 8, 2024, that combines chair yoga and tai chi, led by yoga instructor and educator Annie Barreiro. This unique session focuses on enhancing participants’ movement and balance through a blend of chair yoga poses and tai chi techniques. Attendees will learn the benefits of both practices, including improved mindfulness, circulation and balance. The class will also introduce participants to effective breathing techniques and healing movements designed to reduce pain and anxiety.

Barreiro, a tai chi instructor and educator, brings her expertise to this event, emphasizing the importance of holistic health and well-being. The session offers an accessible way for community members to experience the physical and mental health benefits of these ancient practices. This initiative is part of the library’s ongoing commitment to providing valuable health programming and enhancing community wellness.

The class is part of a free health fair for the community. This event aims to provide free health screenings and promote health education, aligning with the library’s mission to support the well-being of its patrons.
