My Tai Chi Journey

Renee Shi

I was introduced to Yang-style Tai Chi in 2017 and continued learning until the COVID-19 pandemic forced classes to stop. At that time, I found Tai Chi very difficult to learn.

After the pandemic, I happened to see Emily leading a Tai Chi demonstration at Burwood Library. Out of curiosity, I joined the experience session. To my surprise, I was able to learn the very first movement in just one lesson. I was amazed by Emily’s teaching ability and decided to join Boyuan to learn Chen-style Tai Chi.

After joining Boyuan, I discovered a warm and welcoming community. Besides Emily, Tom, David, Wendy, and Sabrina were all incredibly patient in guiding and encouraging new students like me. It truly feels like one big family filled with kindness and support.

Since then, I have learned the 6 Forms, 13 Forms, 36 Forms, Eight-Cycle Practice, 24 Forms, and the 83 Forms. Through standing meditation (Zhan Zhuang), I gradually developed an awareness of Qi. Practising Tai Chi with this sense of Qi has naturally slowed my movements and deepened my understanding of Tai Chi. Learning Yang Yuan Gong has also helped me gradually nourish and regulate my internal organs.

Emily is an exceptionally patient teacher. She tirelessly corrects my mistakes and carefully guides us step by step—from first learning the external movements to gradually understanding the underlying principles of Tai Chi. Under her guidance, I especially enjoy practising in the park. The open space, green grass, trees, blue sky, and white clouds allow me to expand my awareness, relax my mind, improve my eyesight, breathe in fresh natural air, and promote better circulation of Qi and blood. It truly offers many benefits at once.

Now, I try to practise Tai Chi every day. Each practice feels different. Sometimes, when my mind is occupied, I move too quickly. Other times, when I am calm and focused, my practice becomes slower and more mindful. Regardless of the pace, I always finish feeling refreshed, relaxed, and full of energy.

I feel truly fortunate to have the opportunity to learn Chen-style Tai Chi under Emily’s guidance. Step by step, she has helped me enter the beautiful world of Tai Chi, and I look forward to continuing this lifelong journey of learning and self-improvement.

我的太极缘 （Renee Shi)
我是从2017 开始经人介绍学习杨式太极拳，一直到疫情开始不能上课了才停课, 我发觉太极拳很难学。

疫情结束后偶然看到Emily 老师带队到Burwood 图书馆推广太极便带着好奇心去体验，结果发现难学的太极拳Emily 老师竞然教一次便学会了第一式，觉得老师很厉害便加入博源学习陈式太极拳，进入博源发现氛围很好，除了Emily 老师, Tom 师兄，David 师兄，Wendy 师姐和Sabrina 师姐都非常有耐心的指点和鼓励我们新学员，我觉得这个大家庭太有爱了，我从6式，13 式，36 式，八循环，24 式到83 式都学了一遍，通过学习桩功感知了气感，带着气感打太极拳让我打拳的速度慢下来了， 对太极拳的感悟更深了，学习养元功会帮我慢慢调理五脏。
Emily 老师教学很有耐心，不厌其烦的纠正我的错误，从先学第一层的招式再到第二原理让我们慢慢提升，在老师的指导下我特别喜欢在公园练习太极，公园面积大，有草有树，还有篮天白云，可以把意念放远，还能改善视力，吸收大自然的气息，疏通气血，真是一举多得。
我现在尽量每天练太极，但是每天感觉是不一样的，有时心里有事打得很快，有时气定神闲打得更专注，不管快慢，每次打完都觉得身心舒畅，浑身轻松。
非常幸运能跟着老师慢慢入门陈氐太极。

跟著楊老師打太極拳，是一種享受，也是一場學習。

在一招一式中，體會鬆柔與平衡；在一呼一吸間，感受身心的安定。楊老師細心指導、循循善誘，讓我們不只是學會太極拳，更學會用太極的智慧面對生活。

感恩楊老師的用心教導，讓每一次練習都有新的收穫。

Practicing Tai Chi with Master Yang is both a joy and a journey of learning.

Every movement brings greater balance, every breath brings inner peace, and every class deepens our understanding of Tai Chi.

Thank you, Master Yang, for your patient guidance and inspiration. Every practice is a step toward better health, personal growth, and harmony.

從學動作到悟太極——我在博源找到真正的太極之路

年輕的時候，我就一直很想學太極拳，也曾經跟過幾位老師學習，但總覺得少了些什麼。他們大多只是教動作、記套路，卻沒有真正讓我理解太極拳的精神與內涵，因此一直沒有持續學下去。直到在林師兄的強力推薦下，我來到了「博源」，才真正踏入太極拳的世界。

來到「博源」後，最讓我感謝的就是楊老師的教學方式。老師循序漸進，由淺入深，不急著要求我們把動作做到完美，而是一步一步引導我們理解每一個動作背後的原理，讓我們慢慢體會太極拳講求的鬆沉、協調與身心合一。在老師的引導下，我更深刻體會到，所謂的「氣」並不是虛無縹緲的概念，而是真正可以在自己的身體裡感受到的。當帶著氣感來練拳時，整個人會變得更加放鬆，動作也更加流暢，練完後身心都感到十分舒暢。

太極拳最大的優點之一，就是不受場地限制。無論是在客廳、後院，還是車庫，只要有一點空間，就能隨時練習。現在的我，只要覺得心情有些鬱悶，或是身體有點僵硬、生鏽的感覺，就會起身打一趟太極拳。短短一段時間之後，整個人便覺得神清氣爽，筋骨舒展，心情也隨之開朗起來。這種身心同時得到放鬆的感受，是其他運動很少能帶給我的。

學習太極拳，也讓我對健康有了新的體會。我練拳的目標並不是追求多高的境界，而是希望透過持之以恆的練習，讓自己年紀漸長時，仍能維持良好的生活品質，保有靈活的四肢與健康的身體，能夠照顧自己，不增加家人的負擔。我相信，太極拳不只是運動，更是一種養生之道，也是一種陪伴自己一生的生活方式。

如今，打太極拳已經成為我生活中不可或缺的一部分。它不僅鍛鍊了我的身體，也讓我的心更加平靜，學會在忙碌的生活中找到一份安定。我很慶幸自己來到「博源」，遇見楊老師，也感謝林師兄的推薦，師兄 師姐們的幫忙，讓我真正認識太極、愛上太極。我相信，未來我仍會持續練習，讓太極拳陪伴我走過人生每一個階段。

Justin’s Tai Chi Journey ～From Confusion to Passion

When I was young, I had always wanted to learn Tai Chi. I studied with several instructors over the years, but I always felt that something was missing. Most of them focused on teaching the movements and helping students memorize the forms, yet they never truly helped me understand the philosophy and essence of Tai Chi. As a result, I never continued practicing for very long.

Everything changed when Senior Brother Lin strongly recommended Boyuan Tai Chi. That was when I truly stepped into the world of Tai Chi.

What I appreciate most about Boyuan is Master Yang’s unique teaching approach. He guides us step by step, starting with the fundamentals and gradually building deeper understanding. Rather than expecting us to perform every movement perfectly from the beginning, he patiently explains the principles behind each posture. Through his guidance, I have come to understand the importance of relaxation, balance, coordination, and the unity of body and mind.

Under Master Yang’s instruction, I also gained a much deeper understanding of qi. I discovered that qi is not some vague or mystical concept—it is something that can genuinely be felt within the body. When I practice with an awareness of qi, my whole body becomes more relaxed, my movements flow more naturally, and after each practice I feel refreshed, comfortable, and at peace.

One of the greatest advantages of Tai Chi is that it can be practiced almost anywhere. Whether in the living room, the backyard, or the garage, all I need is a small amount of space. Nowadays, whenever I feel stressed, emotionally weighed down, or physically stiff, I simply begin practicing a set of Tai Chi. Within a short time, I feel refreshed, my body loosens up, and my mood becomes lighter and happier. Few other forms of exercise provide such complete relaxation for both the body and the mind.

Learning Tai Chi has also given me a new understanding of health. My goal is not to pursue the highest level of martial skill, but to maintain a good quality of life through consistent practice as I grow older. I hope to keep my body flexible, stay healthy, remain independent, and avoid becoming a burden to my family. I believe Tai Chi is far more than just exercise—it is a way of cultivating health and a lifelong way of living.

Today, practicing Tai Chi has become an indispensable part of my daily life. It has strengthened my body, calmed my mind, and taught me how to find peace amid the busyness of everyday life.

I feel truly fortunate to have joined Boyuan, to have met Master Yang, and to have received the recommendation from Senior Brother Lin, as well as the encouragement and support of all my senior brothers and sisters. They have helped me truly understand Tai Chi and develop a genuine love for it.

I am confident that I will continue practicing Tai Chi for many years to come and allow it to accompany me through every stage of my life.

堅持，讓生命改變
Perseverance Changes Lives

一直以來，我對黃先生的印象，是一位非常謙卑、話不多的人。他總是默默地學習，認真練習太極，從不張揚自己。

直到一次太極圓緣活動，我們邀請他分享學習心得，我才驚訝地發現，平時沉默寡言的他，竟然娓娓道來三年來的太極心路歷程，分享得真摯而深刻，讓在場的人都深受感動。

原來，真正的改變，不需要華麗的言語，而是來自每天默默的堅持。

黃先生的故事再次印證：只要願意相信、願意堅持，太極真的可以改變健康，也能改變人生。

Perseverance Changes Lives

For a long time, my impression of Mr. Huang has been that he is a very humble, soft-spoken person. He has always learned quietly, practiced Tai Chi diligently, and never sought attention.
It was not until a Tai Chi reunion event, when we invited him to share his learning experience, that I was surprised to discover that this usually quiet man could speak so eloquently about his three-year Tai Chi journey. His sharing was sincere and profound, deeply moving everyone present.
It turns out that real change does not require grand words, but comes from quiet persistence every day.
Mr. Huang’s story once again proves that as long as we are willing to believe and willing to persevere, Tai Chi can truly improve health and transform lives.
