I began taking Taijiquan classes in 1989. For over 25 years, I have studied with our Chief Instructor Pam Boyde as well as various guest teachers. Since attending a 2003 seminar in Seattle with Grandmaster Yang Jun, my practice has focussed on Yang style taijiquan as transmitted by the Traditional Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan Association. This led to my helping to organize a Yang seminar in Whitehorse in 2004, more studies in Seattle – where I earned a Gold Eagle ranking in 2015, a trip to China, and attending International Tai Chi Symposiums in Nashville, Tennessee and Selvino, Italy. In 2020, I was certified as a trainer for three forms through the Yang Family Teacher Academy program.
