New! Shaolin Fitness and Flexibility - Live Zoom Masterclass

All Levels. Promotes flexibility . Starts July 27th . Ends August 21st.

Shaolin Temple monks are famous for their incredible flexibility,  yet they don't stretch to gain flexibility. In Shaolin training, every movement has a dual purpose. We use both  dynamic and static stretching. Dynamic stretching  helps our body reach the optimal temperature to stretch, preparing the muscles and joints for deeper movement. No need for hot yoga, your body can generate its own heat! 

Whatever level of flexibility you are, the movements can be adapted to improve your personal potential. "I always ask my students to do the splits. I'm not interested in how close to the floor you are near. The splits are beneficial because they open your hips and are a good demonstration of the level of your flexibility. "

We are as young as our suppleness. Flexibility helps maintain healthy joints, reduce the risk of injury and enhance  martial arts or athletic performance. But flexibility alone is not enough.  

A Shaolin Monk develops flexibility alongside stamina, strength, balance and coordination. A body that is only strong can become stiff. A body that is only flexible can lack power. Shaolin training develops both, creating a body that is strong, supple and resilient.  

This Live Zoom Masterclass combines flexibility training with authentic Shaolin fitness methods. Through dynamic kicks, stretches and conditioning exercises, you’ll improve mobility, cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance and overall wellbeing. The aim is not simply to look fit, but to feel healthy from the inside out.

Simply turn up with your camera on or off depending on how comfortable you feel, and train with Shifu. If you can’t make the live sessions, that’s not a problem, there’ll be a recording the next day. 

If you've already done Ultimate Flexibility, you can use these live session as a top up to what you've learned. already

Shifu's students are all ages, all levels,  from all over the world. The sessions are positive, non-competitive and supportive. This is feedback from  previous Zoom sessions:

 “I started to believe I could not do some things anymore because I’m getting old, but now I’m looking at everything a different way. I am amazed at how I am gaining more strength and flexibility, and relaxing at it. “ Annie.

 “This is exciting! I did this transformation with my partner and we are both transformed!  I would love to thank Shifu Yan Lei for continually going beyond his comfort level. This recent class surpassed in many ways. The LIVE aspect kept us dedicated and engaged.  I appreciate Shifu’s dedication to bringing this teaching to us. “David.
