       The form and style of these exercises can contribute significantly to health improvement and conditioning, when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle.

The Introduction to Tai Chi class focuses on learning the 108 movements of the tai chi set.
Harvard Medical School states...
"Tai Chi often leads to more vigor and energy, greater flexibility, balance and mobility, and an improved sense of well-being".
Our class is suitable for all ages and abilities, focusing on an informal, fun atmosphere.

The Continuing level class includes tai chi, lok hup and Shaolin-based internal stretching exercises.
The postures and exercises introduce students to sensing "internal" movement, the core principle guiding development of the forms and the development of "chi" or internal energy.
Master Moy's original methods combine internal elements from tai chi, lok hup, pa kua and tsing yi, challenging students to improve balance, coordination and focus in movement.

In Honour of Moy Lin Shin

Moy Lin Shin came to Canada in 1970 and through his teaching brought the internal arts of tai chi, lok hup, tsing yi and pa kua to thousands of students. Moy Lin Shin studied with Leung Tse Peng for several years, until Mr. Leung's death in 1974. He continued to work with fellow student Sun Dit after Leung's death. The power and knowledge built into this lineage offers keys to developing internal movement and the resultant health benefits that accrue from its study. Moy Lin Shin also studied chi kung with an advanced master in Hong Kong and returned periodically until Mr. Moy's death in 1998. With Master Moy's death in 1998, the commitment to preserve and develop his legacy is ongoing.
