Tax deadline day can cause a lot of stress, but some Bismarck residents started their day by learning how to relax. Touchmark on West Century held a relaxation seminar where the instructor taught residents gentle, fluid movements similar to Tai Chi that also strengthen muscles and help with balance and circulation.
