Pin-Pin teaches Tai Chi in conjunction with Chi Gong as mind, body, spirit are all inter-related. When not in a classroom, she has private patients that come to her for one-on-one expressive therapy. Here also, she combines her eastern medicinal healing roots with a western twist for a wholly, all-encompassing mind/body experience.
Pin Pin was first and foremost a mother of four kids and housewife to Dr. Wu Hsuing Su. Because of her nursing degree from the University of Taiwan in Taipei, she was instrumental in collaborating in all aspects of her husband's medical center in Taipei and later on in Providence, Rhode Island when the family immigrated to United States in the mid 70's.
When her kids were teenagers, Pin Pin went back to school at Lesley College in Boston, Massachusetts and attained a Masters of Arts/Expressive Therapy. Her roots in traditional Chinese medicine, Buddhism, and Tai Chi blended well with her additional western training. Pin Pin then turned to teaching and healing full-time when her kids headed off to college. At Brown University in Providence where her husband was a member of the faculty, her teaching career took off as her students flocked to her east/west fusion of Tai Chi training that is grounded in the thousand year old tradition, combining it with modern humor, wisdom and spirit. Due to the growing popularity of her classes, she founded the Southeastern New England Tai Chi Association in the late 80's.
After she and her husband separated over ten years ago, Pin Pin moved to New York City to be closer to her grown children who all live in the metropolitan area. With solid teaching experiences from a top ivy-league school, it wasn't long before she found herself teaching in the big city. New York University, Presbyterian Hospital, YMHA (YWHA) in Inwood, and Grand Street Settlement are just a few places where you can find Pin Pin teaching on a regular basis.
Today, Pin Pin is a true-New Yorker living in upper Manhattan. When she is not teaching, healing, or helping others, she enjoys Lincoln Center, downtown theatres, dancing and practicing her hobbies of ikebana ( flower-arranging) and calligraphy. How does she do all this well into her 60's? When you are centered in mind and body, anything is possible!
