The Southborough Library’s events for adults this summer include ones they are promoting under the theme “Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds”.
All of these programs are free. Here are the highlights.
Advanced Tai Chi
Thursdays, 10:15 – 11:45 am, main floor
Participants from the Southborough Senior Center’s class, led by instructor Jeanne Friswell, will be meeting weekly at the library over the summer. You don’t need to be a senior or former member of the class to participate. But they are looking for participants already experienced at Tai Chi.
“Want to practice your poses? Or make new friends?” Classes are drop-in, with no registration required.
Continuing Wellness Series
The series of monthly virtual sessions led by Jill Vroman of Vroman Fitness will continue this summer. Pre-registration is required.
