Shaolin Spirit

The Way to Self-Mastery

  • Shi Heng Yi



The life-changing guide to living with strength, purpose and clarity, from the contemporary Shaolin master whose teachings have become an online sensation

Shi Heng Yi is the founder of Shaolin Temple Europe and lay disciple of the Songshan Shaolin Temple in China – the birthplace of Kung Fu. In this book he introduces us to the contemplative practice that underpins the physical training of the world renowned warriors and shows how this ancient way of life can help us today.

Rooted in Zen Buddhism and Tao philosophy, Shaolin offers a powerful way of reconnecting our minds with our bodies through meditative movement. This book highlights twelve key practices that help to improve sleep, relationships and decision-making, as much as balance, flexibility and strength; bringing mental clarity and physical confidence to tackle life’s challenges at any age.
