Robin Linde: Tai Chi Instructor

Robin Linde began her tai chi journey in 1992. Her fascination with this internal martial art was immediate. "I've never studied anything that captured me as fully as tai chi. It is a complete system that emphasizes a calm mind, balance, strength and flexibility. It has been an excellent path toward improving my health and vitality."

After several years of studying tai chi, she was led to seek out additional training to augment her tai chi practice -- including chi kung and push hands. In 1997, she began studying with Sifu Norm Burland who emphasized martial applications of the tai chi form. With Sifu Burland, she also studied Five-Animal kung fu, Ba Gua Fan, Tai Chi Sword, and Chen Style Tai Chi.

Robin has recently attended workshops with Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming, focusing on his traditional tai chi form, chi kung and push hands. She also has attended seminars on 24 and 42 standardized tai chi forms with Professor Li DeYin; and seminars with Master Tony Yang on Yin Fu Ba Gua.

Robin is very motivated to help those who want to improve their health through tai chi. "Tai chi continues to improve my state of being. I am eager to share this art with others because I have witnessed its excellent effects first hand." She teaches regularly at the clinic, and has held special seminars at Eckerd College and gives tai chi demonstrations locally.

In addition to her martial arts study, Robin also is completing coursework with the East West School of Herbology with Michael Tierra in Santa Cruz, CA. She is a member of the American Herbalist Guild and attends local and national seminars on various aspects of herbalism.
