Tai Chi is a form of moving meditation that results in students finding balance and relaxation, while improving body awareness, strength, flexibility, and mental/cognitive health.
We practice a modified Yang set, as developed by Taoist monk Moy Lin Shin, to maximize the health benefits from its gentle and effective movements.

Tai Chi Workshop with guest instructor Hubert Gagnon
HUBERT GAGNON IS COMING TO VANCOUVER!
Hosted by QingLong Tai Chi Arts Society, Vancouver, BC
Hubert studied taiji quan, then liuhebafa with Master Moy Lin-shin from 1976 until his death in 1998. In the fall of 1982, Hubert began volunteering to teach introductory classes at the international school founded by Master Moy. The following year, he was introduced to Taoist meditation by Mui Ming-do, who regularly travels from Hong Kong to teach. Alongside a career in design, Hubert continued to learn and teach, giving numerous workshops in Canada, the United States, and Europe. Now retired from his profession, he devotes himself to his passion for Taoist internal arts.
