This workshop explores in greater depth the nuances of tai chi, and will guide us to a more mindful practice. Philippe Gagnon was part of the group of leading instructors at Master Moy's original school. He will share with us some of his deep knowledge of this internal art.
Philippe was introduced to the internal arts of Master Moy Lin-shin in Montreal at the age of 18. Philippe lived in China for several years which provided a rich experience of encounters with masters and practitioners of several styles. Philippe continued to train with Master Moy during their reciprocal travels to Canada and Hong Kong. Master Moy also introduced him to one of his original teachers, Master Sun Di, himself a prominent student of Master Liang Zipeng, in particular to learn the second half of the Lok Hup. Philippe has conducted an in-depth exploration of Master Moy’s legacy, working with many people who had studied closely with him, but also exploring mindfulness-based spiritual traditions, researching the theory and historical development of taijiquan while travelling extensively in Asia and Europe. Philippe wishes to help carry forward the contributions of Master Moy, with particular emphasis on the health gymnastic and spiritual dimensions of taijiquan.
