It traces the powerful legacy of Nobel laureate and polymath Rabindranath Tagore, whose ideas on humanity, spirituality, and creativity resonated far beyond his homeland and influenced the global literary imagination.

He is one of the formal disciples of Master Yang Jun, who is the direct descendent (sixth-generation) of Yang Cheng Fu and of Yang Lu Chan, the creator of Yang Style Tai Chi. Huang is an authorized instructor of Yang Family Tai Chi Association and is currently teaching Tai Chi classes in Bridgewater. <a href="https://events.wmlnj.org/event/16621599" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Register for June 18</a>.
