MARQUETTE — On Saturday morning, an introduction to the mind-body practice of Tai Chi Chuan will take place in St. Paul’s Episcopal Church’s Morgan Chapel, 201 E. Ridge St., in Marquette.

No prior experience is necessary.

Tai Chi Chuan was first developed by Chinese Buddhist monks. It is a gentle exercise that improves balance, flexibility and regulates the immune system.

It has been incorporated into treatment programs in North America’s most respected medical centers.

The workshop will take place from 10 a.m.- noon. The cost is $25 and includes a light, nutritious lunch. Instructors are Jon and Diana Magnuson.

The workshop is sponsored by the Cedar Tree Institute, a nonprofit organization that initiates projects and provides services in the areas of mental health, interfaith collaboration, and the environment.
