For instructors and beginners. Intensive Program. Meals included.
The healthiest year of your life starts with the healthiest you. Kick start the New Year with an intensive program that will energise you internally and externally to help you reach the potential in yourself you only dreamt of before.
From Monday 30th January – Saturday 4th February I’m teaching a Longevity Qigong and Fitness Intensive Program at the Shaolin Temple UK in North London. This program is the same as my live Zoom masterclass with the addition of learning Kung Fu forms; Wu Bu Quan ( 5 stance form) and Si Bi Quan ( stamp block punch), which we don't have room for online. There'll be the opportunity for lots of feedback so you can really master yourself
If you already know the movements then this program will deepen your understanding and you will learn how to pass these valuable teachings to other students. If you’re just beginning and you don’t want to teach, you can use this program to learn.
The focus will be on wellness and fitness through Longevity Qigong and Kung Fu forms so that what you learn is suitable for health seekers as well as martial artists. If you’re already a personal trainer or a yoga teacher, you can use these teachings as another strand to help your clients gain total mind and body wellness.
The Shaolin Temple is a temple of Zen therefore the classes are not theoretical. Theory doesn’t transform. You’ll be taught through body language so that you gain personal experience and muscle memory. This is not about reading a menu, it’s about tasting the food.
If you’ve ever been to China, you’ll see elderly people in the park in the early morning practicing some of these movements. And if you go to the Shaolin Temple in China, you’ll see young disciples practicing the same movements. The elderly people do the movements slower and practice more Qigong where as the young disciples will be fast and do less Qigong. It’s about adapting these time-tested movements so that they are suitable for all ages.
