The founder of the International Taoist Tai Chi Society and Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism, Master Moy Lin Shin, devoted decades of his life to develop Taoist arts of cultivating body, heart and mind to make them accessible and beneficial to everyone, regardless of their physical condition.

While there are many ways to participate in the training, most people begin with the physical practice of Tai Chi. Taoist Tai Chi™ arts include a gentle set of movements that promote well-being for people of all ages and in all conditions. Introductory classes are offered at our locations across the UK.

As well as Beginner classes in locations around the country, at our Centres we offer Beginner Weekends which give an accelerated introduction to the sequence of movements we practice, and a balanced introduction to our cultural activities. Find a Class and search for Beginner Weekends.

The Taoist Tai Chi Society of Great Britain, the International Taoist Tai Chi Society and the Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism promote the principle of all cultures and religions moving together in harmony. Individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs are welcome to become members and participate in the practice we offer.

Taoist Tai Chi™ arts exercise the whole physiology; including the tendons, joints, connective tissue and internal organs. They are also a method of ‘taming the heart’ and developing an attitude of calm, compassion and reduced self-centeredness both during practice and in daily life.
