North Olmsted Branch

Large Meeting Room (90)

Modified tai chi for those with limited mobility.

See other dates and locations for this program on our events calendar.

All bodies are welcome. :-)

This form modifies traditional movements, so those working on balance, going through physical therapy or preferring to be seated when practicing can do so. It's a calm, slow practice that can help to build core strength for those looking to enhance their balance, and it helps to also bring balance and inner peace to the mind.

Presented by Carmen Pomales (carmitasmiles.com), a toga and tai chi teacher.

About the branch

In 1829, Charles Hyde Olmsted promised to donate 500 books from his father’s collection if the residents agreed to change the name of their town from Lenox to Olmsted. They did and the books traveled by oxcart and were housed in individual residents’ homes while being circulated. The “Oxcart Library” is thought to be the first circulating public library in the Western Reserve.

This branch is a Student Success Center and a Greater Cleveland Food Bank Kids Café location.
