MARQUETTE — A workshop on tai chi and wellness will take place from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 201 E. Ridge St., in Marquette.

Tai chi is a mind-body exercise that uses slow, gentle movements to improve balance, focus and health. First developed in China by Buddhist monks hundreds of years ago, this practice is now used in hospital treatment programs across North America. The focus of the workshop will be on the yang tai chi ball form. No prior experience is needed or required.

This workshop is sponsored by the Cedar Tree Institute, a nonprofit organization that provides services and initiates projects in the areas of mental health, interfaith collaboration and the environment. Jon and Diana Magnuson will serve as instructors.

Cost of the workshop is $25 and includes a light health brunch. For more information or to register, call 906-228-5494.
