POTSDAM –The St. Lawrence County Arts Council will offer two new movement classes for adults in August at Downtown Snell Hall.

Cost is $35 for all four weeks or $10 per class. T’ai Chi (Taiji) emphasizes soft body movements focused on one’s chi. Yang Style movements are gentle, slow, and use large stretching motions.
