People of all ages are invited to learn how to use breathing and movement techniques to boost energy, improve balance and manage stress during Akron’s World Tai Chi and Qigong Day 2018 event. This free community wellness program is being coordinated in real time with World Tai Chi and Qigong Day celebrations around the world. Demonstrations, audience participation and a special segment for kids will be featured in this two-hour program, which is suitable for adults of all ages and physical abilities, and children old enough to follow along.

The interactive program will be led by NG Energy Founder and Certified Tai Chi and Qigong Instructor Nancy Gardner, and will tie in with those being held in all 50 U.S. states and in hundreds of cities spanning more than 80 nations.

The event will take place in the museum’s Bud and Susie Rogers Garden. Participants are asked to bring a lawn chair for this outdoor event.

In the event of inclement weather, the program will be held in the lobby.
