Description
Filmed at the Tai Chi Centre of Canada, this VHS documents *Master Moy Lin Shin’s approach to Taoist Tai Chi—an interpretation focused on balance, health, and community learning. The companion narration by Dr. Carson bridges Eastern and Western views on movement and healing.
Viewed today, it offers a calm alternative to digital distraction: a way to learn and practice slowly, without notifications, algorithms, or the option to skip ahead. The analog format lends the experience a sense of focus and continuity that feels almost meditative.
Produced at a time when videotape was a primary medium for at-home learning, the release stands as both an educational tool and a modest design object—the black-and-white typography and simple sophistication.
*Master Moy founded the Taoist Tai Chi Society and helped transmit this 108-movement form internationally; the set is widely recognized within Taoist Tai Chi practice.
