"Profound changes in my life in terms of my physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing."

Shifu has opened a whole new world to me: the world of Shaolin Arts. They have brought profound changes to my life in terms of my physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Qigong has improved my mobility greatly, given me a stronger and healthier body and makes my yoga practice more fluid, too. The best news for me is that my most recent MRI scan shows no spinal stenosis anymore. Shifu’s teaching has helped me stay grounded, peaceful and stable to cope with the challenges life is throwing at me.

Tuong-Vi Black - 67 years - England - Yoga teacher

- The Self-Mastery program has been a revelation, unlocking layers of understanding within me. -

I'm Yuni Sriwitono, 42, from Indonesia, happily single, and immersed in the worlds of dance and design. The Self-Mastery program has been a revelation, unlocking layers of understanding within me. As I delved deeper into the exercises and discussions, I realized that the more I explore my breath, the more space I find within myself a space I can share with others, especially my parents. This course has shown me the importance of nurturing 'me' before extending it to others.
It introduced me to perspectives different from the dogmas of my upbringing essential revelations that challenge my old beliefs. I often found myself lost in thought during practice, grappling with this new language and its impact on my body. At 40, I've come to realize that it's time to deconstruct the systems I spent my childhood mastering. I'm in the process of building something new, and the journey is unfolding.
In practical terms, this expanded understanding of our bodies and energy development has significantly enriched my work in dance. The course compelled me to release prior judgments, allowing me to perceive my students in new ways. I've become a better guide, assisting them in uncovering hidden abilities. Recently, I successfully mentored a young dancer, even though our genres differed. As a dancer, I've learned to be kinder to myself while maintaining high expectations. I'm deeply grateful for the profound lessons this course continues to impart.

Yuni Sriwitono - Dancer & Designer, Indonesia

"I love the concept of self mastery introduced by Shifu."

When I first saw Shifu Shi Heng Yi online, I was very impressed by his martial arts skills. His physical abilities equate to that of a professional athlete. But at the same time, the way he carries himself and the way he talks, there's a lot of compassion, humilty, peace and authenticity. I love the concept of self mastery introduced by Shifu. I can't solve my problems by externalizing. It's all about the inner work; it's purely an inside job. We have this amazing mind and a powerful body. With the right training, we can become the best version of ourself. I definetely would recommend Shifu and the teachings of Shaolin Online.

"I noticed some changes even within a month or two."

After practicing regularly I noticed some changes even within a month or two. The most important thing I'd say is the general feeling of calmness. I began to feel more grounded, more relaxed, easy going, and less affected by the constant overwhelming things that are happening in the world in general, and also at my work. The biggest improvement would be that I finally managed to create a daily routine and stick to it. Also physically I started to have more energy and strength. What surprised me the most was the feeling of connection with my body. My trust in the practice has grown very much.

Ena Dobraca - 38 years - Bosnia and Herzegovina - Electrical engineer

"My physical strength is marvelously improved."

Firstly, my physical strength is marvelously improved. My legs are a lot stronger and firmer. My breaths are deeper and my inner power is so strong. My body feels so light. And since I watch and practice more with Shifu's videos, I meditate a lot more on everything I do. I also perform common tasks with a calmer mind and a deeper connection. Shifu gives what's good to people, what he thinks would bring the most benefits to humanity. Shifu cares, too. Every time I listen to Shifu's teachings, I feel awake and want to do good things, or if I was lost some times, I found my way back to what I was doing with a better mood.

Hy Phung - 39 years - Vietnam - Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Yoga instructor

- Taking part in the online Mastery Course, I find immense satisfaction in the program's structure -

I, Yehoshua Zohar, at 69 years old, hailing from Israel, married, a father of 4 adult children, and a proud grandfather of 7, want to share my transformative journey with Shaolin Online. It all began at the end of 2020 during a lockdown when, while engaging in calisthenics and Yoga on YouTube, I stumbled upon the Shaolin Temple Europe through a fortuitous recommendation. Despite being 67, retired, and in good health, my understanding of Buddhism was not profound.
Taking part in the Self Mastery Course, I find immense satisfaction in the program's structure. As a lifelong amateur athlete, I sense that I've embarked on a new phase of development with the internal Shaolin arts. The timing aligns perfectly with the changes in my aging body, and being a retiree allows me the luxury of almost daily practice. The discovery of Qi Gong during the pandemic has been a delightful addition, bringing joy to my practice, especially as I progress with the soft fist form. Various practices, including breath training, crouched monkey, power workouts, and flexibility, have greatly benefited me.
While I recognize the mental and spiritual aspects, my primary focus lies on the physical program. With multiple university degrees and being autodidactic, I appreciate the mind-physical connection in Shaolin arts, particularly in areas like static training, strengthening, and their positive impact on willpower

Yehoshua Zohar - High school principal, Israel

- The course deepened my appreciation for Shaolin Arts, broadened my understanding of Buddhism, and shifted my perspective on life. -

The Shaolin Online Self Mastery Course has been a transformative journey for me. Initially hesitant, I sought advice, and an insightful dream featuring Shi Heng Yi reinforced the decision. The mental aspects were somewhat familiar, drawn from my life experiences, but the course significantly impacted my external body. I gained strength, balance, flexibility, and improved cardio condition. As my external body strengthened, so did my internal chi body—a perfect foundation.
Observing Shi Heng Yi's teaching methods, his responses to student questions, and the development of the Shaolin community platform provided valuable insights. The course deepened my appreciation for Shaolin Arts, broadened my understanding of Buddhism, and shifted my perspective on life. Now, I have a clear direction for my journey, focusing on specializing in medical Qigong while continuing my lifelong practice of Shaolin Kung Fu. I'm passionate about sharing the valuable lessons learned from the Shaolin Temple as an instructor.

Joyce Doeve - Qigong instructor & Administrator, Netherlands

- A gift for yourself and all the people around yourself -

I have found more peace and balance, which affects all areas of my life. I have become more flexible and lost some excess kilos, although I was not concerned with that. I run faster (and I think this is because I train more varied, not more volume). Balance and tranquility, more flexible, more energetic, I sleep better. The integrated approach that highlights all domains and the simplicity with which things are explained with deeper layers. You can follow even if you don't understand it. You can train at the moments that suit you best and get enough tools to organize. Everyone can train at his or her level and grow.
Very sure I would recommend, a gift for yourself and all the people around yourself. Very helpful employees. Very user-friendly program and so much to discover. A living helpline if you wouldn't find it anyway that always kindly and patiently shows the way. A blessing.

Verle Kiebooms - Social Worker, Belgium

- I get great response from my surroundings. -

As I enrolled in the Selfmastery I have changed from being tense controlling and forceful in relations to be more relaxed happy and calm. In bigger groups before I would feel much pressure to do better. Now I enjoy more, I feel more confident and connected with everybody. My perspective has changed. I observe more and Release. I feel in general more connected and confident. I can say yes without worry and enjoy. What before made me panic I can smile and Release. I get great response from my surroundings.
I really like to participate with the Shaolin community in the live zoom. I have this feeling of the global Qi Gong family in every repeat. Every month the practice videos exceed my expectations I enjoy the creative Way our teacher balance and share the Shaolin fundamentals. I will recommend Shaolin Online. I feel so fortunate that The Shaolin Temple Europe sharing online teachings globally. Shaolin Methods really meet our need for being connected. We dont have to think much, just follow the teachings, the breathing, the moves, rest will reveal in time.

Lone Bording Jensen - Pensioner, Denmark

- The program helped me finding answers, opening new routes & enlarging my vision -

I wanted to deepen my knowledge of the martial arts. The program helped me finding answers. It also helped opening new routes, enlarging my vision. The program gave me a structure, a little sense of belonging to a kind community. It impacted my whole life, my health, my state of mind, my interactions with people and my work.
I really appreciated the rhythm: practice, theory, live sessions, bonus sessions and so on. Everything was worth focusing and doing the homeworks. If I had to choose, I think the best is the Chan Gong Rou Quan form we were grateful to learn. Variety in the program exceeded my expectations.
I would absolutely recommend this training. Self-mastery is a beautiful method more people should endeavour.

Nicolas Bergé - Community Business Owner, France

- I suspected that there would be some kind of change, but that it would be like this, I didn't even think about it -

I signed up for self-mastery because I wanted to change my life, especially in terms of self-control and my health. During that year, from the beginning of self-mastery to the end, I changed above all myself. From my point of view, my biggest change is that I am much calmer, and I wonder about it myself. :-D Things that would have thrown me off or pissed me off a year ago leave me cold today. I stopped dealing with nonsense. To my delight, today I can deal better with the people around me. Especially at work. In terms of my health, it has improved in that my asthma has improved and it's probably weird, but my hair is falling out a lot less. :-) I learned to focus more on what I'm doing. I perceive more my every movement, breath, touch with the surroundings. So, to sum it up, I am much more sensitive, both to myself and to those around me, for which I am incredibly grateful to all of Shaolin Temple Europe, because without self-mastery, my life would be the same as before.
I don't know if I can say what I liked the most. Because I liked everything I learned all year. The most relaxing and calming thing for me is meditation. I really fell in love with you. It's my nightly bedtime routine. Above all, my expectations were exceeded by the fact that I can be much calmer than I was a year ago. I suspected that there would be some kind of change, but that it would be like this, I didn't even think about it. :-) Also, feeling the qi flowing inside my body. I didn't know that before and it's a wonderful and interesting feeling. I still enjoy the sensations of my body during any exercise, whether static or moving. New experiences and feelings keep appearing. I think my journey after a year is just beginning and I am looking forward to what is next in my life. :-)
I definitely recommend Shaolin.Online. I actually do it in practice. Mostly at work when people ask me about the changes they have noticed in me. I work as a librarian in a library that is visited by many people every day. Some will ask what's going on that I'm different, so I'll tell them and give them a link to the Shaolin website or YouTube and tell them what it's doing for me in my personal life. Why would I recommend Shaolin? Well, that's clear. :-D Because it's an amazing way to achieve something better. Better health, wiser decision-making, behavior, whole life. I feel much more calm and well-being within myself. I think that every person who wants a change will find that change at Shaolin Temple Europe. Be it physical exercise, mental exercise, meditation or the theory of Buddhism. All in all, for me, it's a wonderful journey that I want to continue on as long as I can. Thank you to everyone who accompanies me on this wonderful journey from start to finish and to everyone who participates in Self-Mastery. I got much more here than I expected. :-)

Judita Křížová - Librarian, Czech Republic

- Master Shi Heng Yi's teachings on living, mindset, problem-solving, and Shaolin arts resonated deeply with me -

Master Shi Heng Yi's teachings on living, mindset, problem-solving, and Shaolin arts resonated deeply with me. His authenticity was evident as he embodied the principles he shared. Upon incorporating his video presentations into my routine, I experienced unexpected relief from persistent hip pain that had troubled me for two years. This newfound physical well-being translated into a calmer, happier, and more agile version of myself, with improved clarity of thought. Engaging in daily exercises, sometimes twice a day, brought about numerous positive changes that would take hours to enumerate, reinstating my confidence in human kindness.

Ivana Stamenković Ziva - Belgrade, Serbia - Professor of flute and chamber music

- Following the practices, I feel energized, younger and strong -

On the physical level I was struggling with the degenerative effects of Sjögren's syndrome and Raynauld phenomenon, in addition to lower back problems. On the mental level, I received a diagnosis of PTSD, which could be the cause of constant anxiety and sporadic episodes of depressive mood. I had difficulty to deal with the loss of loved ones, and for over two decades I watched the negative mental activity (guilty, grief) worsening with time.
Following the course I can feel improvements in every single aspect. Despite the struggles with disciplining and creating a routine (which I am still working on) I was able to develop my practice enough to stop feeling the pain in the back, and to align my whole body structure, to develop my muscles, my posture has improved immensely - and I feel that it will become perfect once I manage to follow a constant routine of daily practice. My flexibility is returning and, as long as I am constant with the practice, the pain and stiffness in the joints stay away.

I am also amazed to see how we can regain energy. Following the practices, all of this is over, I feel energized, younger and strong. People here in Brazil even stop calling "senhora" (old lady) and started calling me você (you). :) The theory classes reminded me of important lessons that I have been receiving in my journey, and also brought new insights specially about Buddhism, which I did not know much. I would love to keep learning from Abbot Shi Heng Zong. The meditation sessions also have been fantastic, even though I have been trying to explore the subject for ages, I am now finally incorporating them into my daily routine, thanks to the encouragement of Shi Miao Hai. He enlightened me about the practical effects of meditation in our mind and behaviour.

Instead of feeling hopeless as it happened before, now I am able to remind myself that progress is not a straight line up, but a journey made of many ups and downs, and I am looking forward to keep advancing each day more towards my goal. Everything in the course exceeded my expectations. What I liked best was to be able to dive openly in it, knowing and feeling that everyone involved in this project is working with the genuine intention to enable us to reach our full potential. There are no hidden intentions, like we find in many other courses: "buy this and at the end we will sell you something more", as if life was an eternal search. There is no catch, it is all here. This course offers all we need to develop our full potential.
I definitely recommend Shaolin.Online. As Master Shi Heng Yi points in his Final Talk, this course presents the foundation for living a health and fulfilling life. He beautifully managed to summarize in one year the most essential methods learnt in a lifelong of intensive training. I feel blessed and lucky for having found him. Thank you for the amazing work you are doing for humanity, Sifu!

Karla Grünewald Hollamby - Brazil / Australia

- There is nothing like it -

For me the most important aspect about the Self-Mastery Program is that there is nothing like it. It really offers the full package for body, mind and spirit with such a great structure. The commitment and care that was put into creating this program from all the people involved can be felt in every video.
The Program has become a kind of compass for me in all imaginable life areas. My physical fitness has without doubt improved a lot. Thanks to the variety of exercises and how the program is structured it has become “easy” to integrate the practices into daily life. Also my mind has become much calmer and focused which benefits me in my work-life and personal life. In general I just feel a lot more balanced and calm especially in unexpected situations that would normally shake things up. I have now also found information about nutrition and healthy eating that feels doable which is something I have been looking for. My life has changed so much in a positive way. With every new lesson my trust in myself grows and also in the teachings.
Shaolin Online gives such a high quality of teachings and without doubt is improving my life in all areas, the Online Platform does offer all you need. I would definitely recommend Shaolin Online. It is a bundle of knowledge that I am sure everyone can benefit from.

Claire Käfer - IT Procurement Analyst, Germany

- I like everything about this Program -

I like everything about this Program. From the content to its organization of lessons and materials is just unbelievable. I’ve noticed that my sleep has been better, and the anxieties have subsided a bit. Also, there have been situations that I was less reactive than I tended to be in the past. On the martial art training side, I have now returned to my own practice and it has definitely improved.
I can tell Sifu Shi Heng Yi and his team have put a lot of thought and planning into it. There is a progression of the curriculum. Also, the downloadable notes / questions section is just amazing. It has definitely helped me to learn better. Typically, it is the students who will need to take notes from the lessons. In this Program, all the notes are being provided to us. The Ritual section of the Program has also helped me tremendously. It provides a way for me to remember the information after the lesson and even after the Program is finished.
At the end of the day, Sifu Shi Heng Yi has thought of every aspect of our learning, not just for the 12-month period; but for our lifetime. If I had to pinpoint the one thing. It will be the holistic approach that it combines the physical, the mental and the body. I would definitely recommend this Program to anyone.

Jo - Portfolio Manager & CCO, Canada

"I feel more energetic, positive and loving than before."

The Temple’s online training and talks motivated me to achieve something remarkable. The Shaolin way helped me to become more centered, balanced, mindful, patient and compassionate – I feel more energetic, positive and loving than before – my mind and heart open up. I feel stronger and able to deal with whatever life brings me. And my social interactions healed and improved – spreading focus and joy to others.

- My entire world inside myself has changed .. inside and outside -

I was looking for my path and needed some guidance. My entire world inside myself has changed .. inside and outside. The amount of self growth the course provided me exceeded my expectations.
I would recommend Shaolin.online mainly for anyone wanting to deepen and enrich themselves through the ancient arts.

Michael Iavarone - Acupuncturist, Switzerland

- I didn't think that it would have such impact on the way of apprehending life -

Since starting this program I feel better in my body, I have getting more stability in Tai chi. I get a better breathing. I have a better organization in my daily life and I'm more dynamic. I have forgiven a lot of things so I feel more free in my mind.
I like very much the form we learn in live training but all the program is very good and I wait for every session. I didn't think that it would have such impact on the way of apprehending life.
The Self Mastery program is useful for everyone, it is very complete, every month brings something new. I feel well, I'm on a new way and I'm very grateful for the Shaolin teachings.

Marie France Duvic - Pensioner, France

"Through the Shaolin teachings I achieved everything and beyond."

My problem was that I suffered from repeated extreme violence, capture and torture in my childhood. These teachings completed my healing - which is often considered not possible for this type of early traumatic events. Through the Shaolin teachings I achieved everything and beyond. Physical health first, all blockages were released. I don’t need to go to physiotherapy anymore, to get manipulated or to have needles stuck in me. I can feel my body, I can be autonomous and in charge of my health. I also achieved a calm mind, peace and stability. I would most definitely recommend Shifu’s online teachings.

Gabriella Aebischer - Switzerland - Chemical risk engineer

- You can feel the love for Shaolin Arts in every word, movement, video, workbook and in the way how well this course is planned and implemented -

When starting the Self-Mastery course, our Dojo had been closed down because of the pandemic. This was the problem outside. My personal problem was that I was not strong enough to go my own way through all influences from outside.
As hoped, I could develop independancy in the mind and also was able to find the time only for the training, keeping all other external demands out. The Self-Mastery course touched every life area in a very deep way. Physically and mentally I see and feel a big difference since the start towards a higher level of strength and resilience. There is also a remarkable progress in dealing with other people in a way to accept anyone including myself better and be more patient and relaxed in every situation.
The best thing about this course was that my lifelong dream of learning about Shaolin Arts finally came true and I enjoyed and loved every second of practice and theory !!! My expectations are exceeded in the way that the course was structured so well and the instructions are so fine and clear that it was easy to keep up the training inmidst a very busy daily life of a working and single educating mom. You can feel the love for Shaolin Arts in every word, movement, video, workbook and in the way how well this course is planned and implemented. Special thanks to every person who invested time and mindfulness into the Self-Mastery program, it is the greatest gift I ever received. Be blessed for sharing all this knowledge with us !!!
To anyone who likes to improve physical resistance, a healthy mind, better personal relationships, and is looking for wisdom even in daily life, I recommend the teachings of Shaolin.Online. No matter what age or what the circumstances are, I am sure that everybody can participate in the benefits of this universal teachings by great masters and instructors.

Anja Clemens - Carpenter, Germany

- I pursued my life goals with increased acuity and performed at my best in the goals I set for myself -

By starting the self-mastery program, I engaged in the practice in order to improve my physical form, to open my body, to strengthen my legs, to work on the alignment of the spine. I intended to mobilize, to focus attention; I targeted self-control through life's challenges. I was already on this path and I was looking to continue with a practice and a guide that inspired me. I wanted to access energy practices of millennial tradition, which I sensed for me. It was.
My physical condition has improved, my legs have gained strength. My will to always go further has been maintained. The ability to mobilize and concentrate energy unfolded in me. My mind has sharpened, or finally, something in me has gained in awareness, in finesse, in sensitivity, in fluidity. I pursued my life goals with increased acuity and performed at my best in the goals I set for myself. I continue.
I was, on several occasions, delighted and surprised that an exercise fell at the right time and was exactly in phase with what I needed to continue to evolve. What exceeded my expectations were the discoveries, the passages where my body unblocked, where my organism expanded its possibilities. Breathing has greatly amplified, “the core” (abdominal region) has strengthened. My body opened up more and more and the alignment of the skeleton became straighter. The work is not finished..
The program has been beneficial for me. The commitment of Shi Heng Yi and his team at Shaolin Temple Europe is clear and honest. I encourage this vision that I feel is mine. Everyone has to find their way.

Rosa Zacharie - Actress & Naturopath, Canada

"Simply impressive! It's like magic."

I would suggest it to everyone who is interested to go further with Shi Heng Yi. The changes in me were so noticeable that in such a short time, I became much calmer and more relaxed, found answers within myself, felt physically more comfortable and it just created this balance in me. I will probably never be a Kung Fu fighter in this life, but with Qi Gong, the Shaolin/Buddha teachings and meditation, the so-called self-healing powers have been activated. Simply impressive! It's like magic 😉 - And thank you with all of my heart.

Elena Tilemeni - 42 years - Cologne, Germany - Receptionist

- My testimony is a living example of the transformative power of Shaolin martial arts, fostering physical well-being, mental resilience, and heightened mindfulness. -

Hello, I'm Hanny (J.M.) Keulers, 74 years old, residing here in Greece. Today, I'd like to share my profound experience with Shaolin Online. As a thinker, translator, and writer, I've led a life in solitude, grappling with depression. Yet, recently, I made a decisive choice to break free from its grip.
Chronic back pain and my history as a smoker presented additional challenges. However, in Greece, I discovered the healing power of Iyengar Yoga, particularly in breath control and relaxing tense body parts. In my quest for more energy, I found a companion in Jan Evers, a disciple of Ip Man, who introduced me to Tai Chi. The pandemic led me to Shaolin Temple Europe, and in 2021, I deepened my understanding through the online courses of Shifu Shi Heng Yi.
For me, the essence of Shaolin martial arts lies in the significance of breath and self-awareness. Though I align with Buddhist principles, I do not practice any religion. Health tests in 2021 attest to my outstanding physical condition, credited to my martial arts practice. The heightened awareness during training and controlled breathing impart a sense of lightness.
I share a poignant anecdote about a wooden spoon that has faithfully served me for half a century. This spoon bears the marks of my daily use and serves as a reminder of how we often overlook the subtle imprints of our lives. It has become a cherished possession symbolizing the fleeting nature of life. My testimony is a living example of the transformative power of Shaolin martial arts, fostering physical well-being, mental resilience, and heightened mindfulness.

- I feel a huge overall transformation on every level -

I feel a huge overall transformation on every level. Thanks to the exercises, I have experienced complete peace and focus before a concert, that before was stress and anxiety. On the body level, I have lost the doubts, and now I feel confident and calm when it comes to the health of my body. I am full of energy and I feel great. On emotional level, I feel deeper peace and self-love, on mindset level I have more patience and courage to take risks and to approach problem solving with peace and no stress. I feel more balanced from nutritional aspect. I have deeper understanding of other people since my listening skills have increased. I completely recommend Shaolin online!

Aneta Milcent - Musician, France

- I am more confident, more joyful. In general, I have become more efficient -

Through the Self Mastery course, the movement in the shoulder girdle has become freer and I am beginning to notice an opening of the chest, and an increase in my breathing volume. I feel more stable and can walk with a slightly longer stride. I have the impression that blockages are loosening. My "mood" has improved. I gradually see things in my personal environment more clearly and recognize and understand connections better. This has an influence on my behavior. I am more confident, more joyful. In general, I have become more efficient.
I was and am extremely enthusiastic about the entire course, be it the organization, the timing, the content, the workbooks, the lists, the live sessions, the constant information via emails ... I am extremely enthusiastic and feel an unspeakable gratitude that I had the opportunity to participate.
What I found very helpful, to name a few points more specifically:
- the always same routine every month and therefore every week, helped me a lot to develop routine and to keep track.
- The routine schedules with indication of the type of task and practice period have saved a lot of "you have to think about it" saved.
- the exact task like "8 times a day for the next 21 days" gave me the chance to spend more time on one exercise. This way I was never under time pressure and learned how rewarding it is to dwell on one thing.
What was not expected was the actual variety of what the course offered. What I liked most was the passion and good intentions behind everything. I can (have) highly recommend Shaolin.Online. Why: For a very long time I was looking for help, exercises, instructions, teachings, in fact for "instruments" or a teacher with whose help I could improve my personal situation. With Shaolin.online I have found all this. My main argument is: Shaolin.online is absolutely authentic and credible. You can turn to it with confidence. And I would like to thank all contributors most sincerely.

Christine Klein - Retired teacher, Germany

- I am calmer and much more controlled when encountering difficult people or situations and find my level of awareness of my surroundings, noises, colours etc much sharper. -

Shaolin Self Mastery Course - physical level - I have been amazed by the rapid increase in weight loss, endurance and ability to endure with the physical exercises as the course has progressed. I have firmed up and toned a great deal of my muscles, especially in my legs. Mentally - I am finding I have much more self discipline and focus. I am an artist, and since starting this course, I am finding it much easier to connect with my intuition and create paintings borne from my spirit. I am able to access a meditative state much easier even when I am painting. I am calmer and much more controlled when encountering difficult people or situations and find my level of awareness of my surroundings, noises, colours etc much sharper.
Since encountering SHY and STE, my life as drastically changed. I sadly lost my mother in August 2021 and I sincerely feel that if it were not for your teachings, this deep pain would have been much much more difficult to endure and come out the other end. It is the very practises themselves and Shifu's most beautiful way of teaching them, which has allowed them to become embedded within my being. I am a much more calm, conscious and intentional person now.
Realising the power we have access to within ourselves is a huge asset and gift to me. What really touched my heart is the way SHY carries himself and his voice has such deep contemplation attached to every answer.
Also, I am finding that I am consciously planning my life for the first time in my life. Before, I was on the reactive foot - always in a stress situation as I was not in control - low confidence and feeling like an item stuck in a stormy sea. Now, I feel my inner energy and outer aura becoming stronger and more grounded. I am writing my own life story and trusting that this is a good Universe.

Vanessa Penman - Artist, New Zealand

- It’s an investment that is available to you for life -

From the very first exercise I experienced deep relief in the form of clarity. I felt my functioning improve as I became more mentally alert, less agitated and more patient. This simple yet profound breakthrough experience fueled my desire to continue again and again, driven by satisfaction through direct experience.
My sense of compassion towards others has noticeably increased. I also love the aspect of the community, going through transformation, together. The best part for me was the authenticity of the program. It’s not just about kicking and punching but there’s a sacredness about the intention behind this program that can be felt. The level of detail that Sifu Heng Yi put into every movement and repeated it so that beginners like me could follow along and see improvement. The content is set up where it is not too long and not rushed either.
I would recommend Shaolin Online to anyone seeking a deeper connection within themselves or those who are curious exploring a different perspective on life. This program is different, in that respect, in that it recognizes the importance of left and right hemispheres of the brain to develop a sensitivity of yourself in relation to the environment. This is the first program that has an app and allows you to download everything to your content. The truth is, it’s not just a program, it’s a commitment to yourself. It’s an investment that is available to you for life.

Robbie Singh - Mental Health Therapist, USA

- These last four months have transformed me in ways I could not have imagined -

Whatever work the week's lesson demanded, it brought me a certain well-being: intellectual satisfaction, emotional calm, physical improvement, and even almost childlike feelings of happiness by learning Chan Gong Rou Quan or Rei Men Shou. I so appreciate the sessions of Master Shi Heng Zong, the abbot of the monastery. I love his way of presenting things, through some kind of parables and some humour. Knowledge that I used to have on a purely abstract level has now become more concrete in my days.
These last four months have transformed me in ways I could not have imagined. I have found the courage to take on things that I had been procrastinating on for many months, even years. The video courses, the workbooks, the FB community, the rhythm, the live sessions, etc., each of the aspects and tools that I have access to since my enrollment all contribute to the evolution that I experience day by day.

Céline Benninger - Associate Professor, France

- The course has enabled me to develop life long techniques that I found easily explained and are beneficial to my health and well being -

I am a 69 year old retiree. In my middle years I had been an avid wushu practitioner. Since retiring I had found it difficult to get back into an exercise routine, until I found Shaolin.Online. I began learning the Qi Gong routines until the Self Mastery course became available. The course has enabled me to develop life long techniques that I found easily explained and are beneficial to my health and well being.
Thanks to the course structure, I have developed a training routine that I find full filling. I find that I can easily assimilate the practice into my daily life. It is a habit that I will endeavour to grow for as long as I can. Age has certainly not been a barrier!
I enjoyed the way the course was structured. Each Sunday afternoon a new challenge presented itself via my email. I had time to assimilate this new challenge into my routine, yet also allow me to continue working on and practicing techniques from past lessons. I really enjoyed the step by step learning of Chan gong rou quan and Wu xing quan. I found these in particular improved my over-all balance. When enrolling in an on line course such as this, one must expect the unexpected! And this I certainly got! Techniques that will be beneficial to my health and general well-being going forward.
I would recommend Shaolin.Online to all ages. The course is well structured - enabling even elderly students to involve themselves in most of the practices. I congratulate those that designed the course and presented the online content - I found it both challenging and rewarding. Well done to you all! To the Master - A personal thank you for your investment and dedication in what you have achieved and are achieving.

Phil Woolley - Retired Deputy Principal, New Zealand

- My mind is clearer and body is stronger -

By the 3rd month my body has gotten used to waking at the same time everyday that I did not need an alarm clock anymore. My mind is clearer and body is stronger. Shaolin teachings change my life for the better because just like the title of this program: Self-Mastery, I learn a lot about myself that I never imagine I would venture out. I truly enjoy the power workouts in the program. The theory sessions are the ones that exceeded my expectations because they truly give me a deeper insights to what I learned before but never in this much depth.
I recommend Shaolin online program to anyone who wants to learn about him/herself from the inside out. Whenever my patients ask me how I can utter my advice to them in such a beautiful flow, I owe this ability to the Shaolin Self Mastery program. My mind becomes much calmer and my thoughts are clearer that I do not hesitate to execute whatever tasks at hand with confidence.

- Experiencing a profound integration of mind and body, my mental outlook has become more positive, less prone to anger. -

Since starting with Shifu’s 2019 Ba Duan Jin video, I've experienced profound changes in both my body and mind. Almost immediately, I noticed my body realigning, with growing endurance and focus. It's an ongoing process, and each day seems to reveal a new "clue."
Shifu's emphasis on structure, strength, endurance, relaxation, and breathing initiated a self-healing process. My spine is straighter, and proper alignment in MaBu, GongBu, and DunHouShi is realigning my feet, legs, and hips, leading to significant improvements. My entire structure is changing.
Experiencing a profound integration of mind and body, my mental outlook has become more positive, less prone to anger. I frequently contemplate the Wu De (Martial Virtues) before acting, shifting from morning sluggishness to enthusiasm by following Shifu's guidance. While becoming physically stronger and more aware through the Self-Mastery course, I maintain peace, patience, and growing willpower. This transformative practice is beneficial for individuals of any age and skill level, offering power workouts, Monkey postures, self-massage, and meditation for strength, stamina, coordination, and realignment. Shifu stands out among the best teachers I've encountered over the past 50 years.

Trudy Paul - Retired Attorney, USA

- As if I was actually at the temple -

Being just four months into the Shaolin Self-Mastery program, I already notice a shift in my focus, my nutritional choices, my physical strength and stamina, my mental and emotional awareness and I know that upon completion, I will be a finer version of myself in all these areas and others that I can ever imagine or think. The Buddhist philosophy that I had no understanding before now, especially as a Westerner, has influenced my awareness significantly.The lessons and the manner in which the lessons are presented are straightforward and it feels to me that I am sitting, standing, practicing with the teacher as if I was actually at the temple.
I highly recommend the Self-Mastery program because it is a rare opportunity to be introduced and offered the training and heritage of the lineage of the Shaolin teachings as well as connect with like-minded individuals in an online community who support, offer practices and reflections on their own journey to self-mastery.

Kathy Swanson - Executive Manager, USA

- I now have a set of lifelong tools for my personal growth and wellbeing -

I have created a solid, regular daily routine. Even though I am going through a quite stressful period at work, I am applying as much as possible a ‘letting go’ attitude. While doing qigong sequences, and standing positions, I have started noticing some amount of qi flow. My nutrition turned much more towards the vegetarian side of the spectrum (but it is not vegetarian). My life changed for the better as, already in the middle of the course, I have the feeling that I now have a set of lifelong tools for my personal growth and wellbeing.
I would recommend Shaolin Online without any doubt. Because it works, because there is a vibrant and supportive online community, because master Shi Heng Yi and all the people involved really care about this and it brings and extra energy to the experience.

Marco Cariglia - Financial Services, Italy

- I no longer struggle against racing thoughts, and I no longer slip into rumination -

When I started the Self-Mastery program, I was dealing with a lot of anxiety, rumination and racing thoughts. I suffered from shallow breathing and would sometimes stop breathing for a few moments in stressful situations. I was also just learning about Buddhism and Daoism, but I didn't have a teacher or curriculum to follow, so I was not getting much benefit from those teachings. I was lost in a sea of information with no guidance on how the different bits of knowledge fit together.
Since the start of the program, my mental state is much calmer and clearer. I no longer struggle against racing thoughts, and I no longer slip into rumination. My anxiety has been greatly reduced and people around me have noticed my progress in that area of my life. I have noticed that my natural way of breathing is deeper and that in moments where I would normally stop breathing, I instead take a deep breath and become aware of my breath. Every time that happens, I am reminded of how grateful I am to have learned the breathing techniques from the program. In the area of spirituality, I have progressed in my understanding of the Buddhist and Daoist teachings, and thanks to the Self-Mastery program, I understand how they work together. The program gave me an understanding of how those teachings can be applied to life and now I am on the road to a better quality of life because I am gradually seeing benefits of following these dharma teachings. I have also benefitted a lot from the online community and their answers to my many questions about Buddhism and Daoism, so I am very grateful for the opportunity to join the Self-Mastery Program Facebook group.
My favorite part of the program was the breathing lesson because it made such a huge impact on my day-to-day life--mentally and physically. The online Facebook community exceeded my expectations because the other members are so helpful and knowledgeable. Also, because the Facebook community members offer their good will and inspiration freely to other group members to encourage everyone to thrive in life.
I definitely recommend Shaolin.Online because it is a platform where students can learn authentic ancient teachings from teachers who thoughtfully cultivate that knowledge and provide it with the intention that all their students live well. The courses on Shaolin.Online offer knowledge and methods that help students build their character, understand their mind and emotions, and discipline their minds and bodies.

Courtney madise - Software Engineer from the U.S.

- It's a valuable asset for the well-being of individuals and society as a whole. -

My main hurdle was bolstering self-discipline and carving out time for daily meditation. Since integrating meditation into my routine, I've witnessed a transformation in my body, state of mind, and emotional stability. The course itself, from start to finish, stands out as a comprehensive journey. It provides a solid theoretical foundation in Shaolin philosophy, akin to a versatile Swiss army knife, easily comprehensible and applicable. Notably, the program establishes a robust physical foundation with sustainable maintenance methods.
For me, the program has ushered in unity, harmony, and a joyous mindset. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone, as it brings attention back to the vital aspects of self-discipline and responsibility that society often overlooks. In an age where we've lost touch with natural self-care methods and harmony, where anger prevails over happiness, and physical fitness wanes in the digital era, the Self-Mastery program is a beacon guiding us back to these essential principles. It's a valuable asset for the well-being of individuals and society as a whole.

Veli-Matti Viinikainen - Lifeguard in Finland

- The self-mastery program has the potential to help everyone -

Having the chance to directly learn from the temple every week, getting such a variety of insights into the Shaolin practices and being looked after by the whole Shaolin Online community during the whole program is a huge gift and a true blessing. The curriculum is very well planned, addressing all aspects of life with practical and theoretical weekly tasks.
I observe more, I know what to focus on and do not feel overwhelmed that easily anymore. I found stability within myself, yet I’m still learning and evolving. I notice how it has changed me and my life as I very frequently get positive feedback from family, friends, colleagues, neighbours and sometimes even strangers. Every week I’m curious and excited which content will be presented next. Being part of the Shaolin Online community and following the self-mastery course is a huge enrichment for my everyday life.
I can only speak for myself but I believe that the self-mastery program has the potential to help everyone who is willing to trust, open up and learn. I dearly recommend to give it a try and maybe we’ll meet along the way to self-mastery soon.

Victoria Allcock - Primary School Teacher, Germany

- I wholeheartedly recommend Shaolin.Online for a transformative and joyful journey. -

Embarking on the Self-Mastery program, I faced initial challenges: a lack of motivation for Qi Gong and meditation, coupled with a firm commitment to stay in the IT sector until retirement. Rediscovering my "inner warrior" marked a pivotal shift, leading to a career change after 26 years and defiance of age-related stereotypes.
Despite health setbacks, including a kidney stone, I opted for self-healing without invasive medical interventions. The program, covering breathwork, stability, meditation, and more, surpassed expectations. Shifu Shi Heng Yi's inspiring teachings and the diversity of movements not only brought joy but elevated my flexibility and self-awareness to new heights.
In today's tumultuous Western society, Shaolin teachings offer stability, inner peace, and a fulfilling life, countering disruptions to self-integrity and inner balance. I wholeheartedly recommend Shaolin.Online for a transformative and joyful journey.

Miroslav Pospisek - IT security specialist and TCM therapist

"I would recommend with my whole heart."

I now see the importance of taking responsibility for myself and have the confidence to stand up for what is right even when that means standing alone without support. This may not seem significant to some but to me, it has been life changing. I cannot thank The Shaolin Temple Europe enough. Their generosity and compassion has changed so many lives for the better. To provide this to the world is truly amazing and I would recommend with my whole heart.

Hannah Tyas - 34 years - Yorkshire, UK - English tutoring teacher

This program is literally just a guide to get you to whatever journey you want to see in your lifetime.

Since I started the program, it taught me a lot of patience and a lot of discipline. You understand why you’re doing these techniques. It’s to help end suffering and help you become better, stronger, and successful in your life. The program itself and this journey to understanding the teachings has made me a lot more open minded throughout life. Because of that I don’t think life has gotten any easier. I honestly just think I have become stronger, and I have reawoken. I’m like reborn into this stronger, disciplined, and open-minded person. I really enjoyed this change I’ve gone through.
What I liked best about the course was how easily accessible it was. Its right on your phone or your computer - wherever you need it. All these teachings and methods that I’m learning they are applicable to anyone of any age. So I taught this my grandma, my little brothers, even some clients. It’s just whoever wants to benefit from it, just has to practice it.
If you’re at a point in your life where you are not sure what you wanna do or you’re very stressed and need some directionality: I think you will benefit from this program if you come in open minded. These teachings are very therapeutic, very calming and reassuring. This program is literally just a guide to get you to whatever journey, manifestation, wish or change you want to see in your lifetime.

Alex Rascol - Personal Trainer & Student, USA

"In fact I cannot imagine my life without the Shaolin practices."

The results caught me by surprise. My body shape is transformed. My body joints work way much better, much less pain and stiffness. Strength and endurance are very satisfying for my standards. Maybe most important of all, I feel internal stability and strength. Shaolin virtues and above all focus on conciensce in every move and breath is a modus operandi that follows me in all I do. In fact I cannot imagine my life without the Shaolin practices. Would I recommend? Wholeheartedly.

- I suspected that there would be some kind of change, but that it would be like this, I didn't even think about it -

I signed up for self-mastery because I wanted to change my life, especially in terms of self-control and my health. During that year, from the beginning of self-mastery to the end, I changed above all myself. From my point of view, my biggest change is that I am much calmer, and I wonder about it myself. :-D Things that would have thrown me off or pissed me off a year ago leave me cold today. I stopped dealing with nonsense. To my delight, today I can deal better with the people around me. Especially at work. In terms of my health, it has improved in that my asthma has improved and it's probably weird, but my hair is falling out a lot less. :-) I learned to focus more on what I'm doing. I perceive more my every movement, breath, touch with the surroundings. So, to sum it up, I am much more sensitive, both to myself and to those around me, for which I am incredibly grateful to all of Shaolin Temple Europe, because without self-mastery, my life would be the same as before.
I don't know if I can say what I liked the most. Because I liked everything I learned all year. The most relaxing and calming thing for me is meditation. I really fell in love with you. It's my nightly bedtime routine. Above all, my expectations were exceeded by the fact that I can be much calmer than I was a year ago. I suspected that there would be some kind of change, but that it would be like this, I didn't even think about it. :-) Also, feeling the qi flowing inside my body. I didn't know that before and it's a wonderful and interesting feeling. I still enjoy the sensations of my body during any exercise, whether static or moving. New experiences and feelings keep appearing. I think my journey after a year is just beginning and I am looking forward to what is next in my life. :-)
I definitely recommend Shaolin.Online. I actually do it in practice. Mostly at work when people ask me about the changes they have noticed in me. I work as a librarian in a library that is visited by many people every day. Some will ask what's going on that I'm different, so I'll tell them and give them a link to the Shaolin website or YouTube and tell them what it's doing for me in my personal life. Why would I recommend Shaolin? Well, that's clear. :-D Because it's an amazing way to achieve something better. Better health, wiser decision-making, behavior, whole life. I feel much more calm and well-being within myself. I think that every person who wants a change will find that change at Shaolin Temple Europe. Be it physical exercise, mental exercise, meditation or the theory of Buddhism. All in all, for me, it's a wonderful journey that I want to continue on as long as I can. Thank you to everyone who accompanies me on this wonderful journey from start to finish and to everyone who participates in Self-Mastery. I got much more here than I expected. :-)

- I get great response from my surroundings. -

As I enrolled in the Selfmastery I have changed from being tense controlling and forceful in relations to be more relaxed happy and calm. In bigger groups before I would feel much pressure to do better. Now I enjoy more, I feel more confident and connected with everybody. My perspective has changed. I observe more and Release. I feel in general more connected and confident. I can say yes without worry and enjoy. What before made me panic I can smile and Release. I get great response from my surroundings.
I really like to participate with the Shaolin community in the live zoom. I have this feeling of the global Qi Gong family in every repeat. Every month the practice videos exceed my expectations I enjoy the creative Way our teacher balance and share the Shaolin fundamentals. I will recommend Shaolin Online. I feel so fortunate that The Shaolin Temple Europe sharing online teachings globally. Shaolin Methods really meet our need for being connected. We dont have to think much, just follow the teachings, the breathing, the moves, rest will reveal in time.

- I didn't think that it would have such impact on the way of apprehending life -

Since starting this program I feel better in my body, I have getting more stability in Tai chi. I get a better breathing. I have a better organization in my daily life and I'm more dynamic. I have forgiven a lot of things so I feel more free in my mind.
I like very much the form we learn in live training but all the program is very good and I wait for every session. I didn't think that it would have such impact on the way of apprehending life.
The Self Mastery program is useful for everyone, it is very complete, every month brings something new. I feel well, I'm on a new way and I'm very grateful for the Shaolin teachings.

"Simply impressive! It's like magic."

I would suggest it to everyone who is interested to go further with Shi Heng Yi. The changes in me were so noticeable that in such a short time, I became much calmer and more relaxed, found answers within myself, felt physically more comfortable and it just created this balance in me. I will probably never be a Kung Fu fighter in this life, but with Qi Gong, the Shaolin/Buddha teachings and meditation, the so-called self-healing powers have been activated. Simply impressive! It's like magic 😉 - And thank you with all of my heart.

Shifu's emphasis on structure, strength, endurance, relaxation, and breathing initiated a self-healing process. My spine is straighter, and proper alignment in MaBu, GongBu, and DunHouShi is realigning my feet, legs, and hips, leading to significant improvements. My entire structure is changing.
Experiencing a profound integration of mind and body, my mental outlook has become more positive, less prone to anger. I frequently contemplate the Wu De (Martial Virtues) before acting, shifting from morning sluggishness to enthusiasm by following Shifu's guidance. While becoming physically stronger and more aware through the Self-Mastery course, I maintain peace, patience, and growing willpower. This transformative practice is beneficial for individuals of any age and skill level, offering power workouts, Monkey postures, self-massage, and meditation for strength, stamina, coordination, and realignment. Shifu stands out among the best teachers I've encountered over the past 50 years.

"Through the Shaolin teachings I achieved everything and beyond."

My problem was that I suffered from repeated extreme violence, capture and torture in my childhood. These teachings completed my healing - which is often considered not possible for this type of early traumatic events. Through the Shaolin teachings I achieved everything and beyond. Physical health first, all blockages were released. I don’t need to go to physiotherapy anymore, to get manipulated or to have needles stuck in me. I can feel my body, I can be autonomous and in charge of my health. I also achieved a calm mind, peace and stability. I would most definitely recommend Shifu’s online teachings.

- I wholeheartedly recommend Shaolin.Online for a transformative and joyful journey. -

Embarking on the Self-Mastery program, I faced initial challenges: a lack of motivation for Qi Gong and meditation, coupled with a firm commitment to stay in the IT sector until retirement. Rediscovering my "inner warrior" marked a pivotal shift, leading to a career change after 26 years and defiance of age-related stereotypes.
Despite health setbacks, including a kidney stone, I opted for self-healing without invasive medical interventions. The program, covering breathwork, stability, meditation, and more, surpassed expectations. Shifu Shi Heng Yi's inspiring teachings and the diversity of movements not only brought joy but elevated my flexibility and self-awareness to new heights.
In today's tumultuous Western society, Shaolin teachings offer stability, inner peace, and a fulfilling life, countering disruptions to self-integrity and inner balance. I wholeheartedly recommend Shaolin.Online for a transformative and joyful journey.

- The course deepened my appreciation for Shaolin Arts, broadened my understanding of Buddhism, and shifted my perspective on life. -

The Shaolin Online Self Mastery Course has been a transformative journey for me. Initially hesitant, I sought advice, and an insightful dream featuring Shi Heng Yi reinforced the decision. The mental aspects were somewhat familiar, drawn from my life experiences, but the course significantly impacted my external body. I gained strength, balance, flexibility, and improved cardio condition. As my external body strengthened, so did my internal chi body—a perfect foundation.
Observing Shi Heng Yi's teaching methods, his responses to student questions, and the development of the Shaolin community platform provided valuable insights. The course deepened my appreciation for Shaolin Arts, broadened my understanding of Buddhism, and shifted my perspective on life. Now, I have a clear direction for my journey, focusing on specializing in medical Qigong while continuing my lifelong practice of Shaolin Kung Fu. I'm passionate about sharing the valuable lessons learned from the Shaolin Temple as an instructor.

This program is literally just a guide to get you to whatever journey you want to see in your lifetime.

Since I started the program, it taught me a lot of patience and a lot of discipline. You understand why you’re doing these techniques. It’s to help end suffering and help you become better, stronger, and successful in your life. The program itself and this journey to understanding the teachings has made me a lot more open minded throughout life. Because of that I don’t think life has gotten any easier. I honestly just think I have become stronger, and I have reawoken. I’m like reborn into this stronger, disciplined, and open-minded person. I really enjoyed this change I’ve gone through.
What I liked best about the course was how easily accessible it was. Its right on your phone or your computer - wherever you need it. All these teachings and methods that I’m learning they are applicable to anyone of any age. So I taught this my grandma, my little brothers, even some clients. It’s just whoever wants to benefit from it, just has to practice it.
If you’re at a point in your life where you are not sure what you wanna do or you’re very stressed and need some directionality: I think you will benefit from this program if you come in open minded. These teachings are very therapeutic, very calming and reassuring. This program is literally just a guide to get you to whatever journey, manifestation, wish or change you want to see in your lifetime.

- My mind is clearer and body is stronger -

By the 3rd month my body has gotten used to waking at the same time everyday that I did not need an alarm clock anymore. My mind is clearer and body is stronger. Shaolin teachings change my life for the better because just like the title of this program: Self-Mastery, I learn a lot about myself that I never imagine I would venture out. I truly enjoy the power workouts in the program. The theory sessions are the ones that exceeded my expectations because they truly give me a deeper insights to what I learned before but never in this much depth.
I recommend Shaolin online program to anyone who wants to learn about him/herself from the inside out. Whenever my patients ask me how I can utter my advice to them in such a beautiful flow, I owe this ability to the Shaolin Self Mastery program. My mind becomes much calmer and my thoughts are clearer that I do not hesitate to execute whatever tasks at hand with confidence.

"In fact I cannot imagine my life without the Shaolin practices."

The results caught me by surprise. My body shape is transformed. My body joints work way much better, much less pain and stiffness. Strength and endurance are very satisfying for my standards. Maybe most important of all, I feel internal stability and strength. Shaolin virtues and above all focus on conciensce in every move and breath is a modus operandi that follows me in all I do. In fact I cannot imagine my life without the Shaolin practices. Would I recommend? Wholeheartedly.

- I am more confident, more joyful. In general, I have become more efficient -

Through the Self Mastery course, the movement in the shoulder girdle has become freer and I am beginning to notice an opening of the chest, and an increase in my breathing volume. I feel more stable and can walk with a slightly longer stride. I have the impression that blockages are loosening. My "mood" has improved. I gradually see things in my personal environment more clearly and recognize and understand connections better. This has an influence on my behavior. I am more confident, more joyful. In general, I have become more efficient.
I was and am extremely enthusiastic about the entire course, be it the organization, the timing, the content, the workbooks, the lists, the live sessions, the constant information via emails ... I am extremely enthusiastic and feel an unspeakable gratitude that I had the opportunity to participate.
What I found very helpful, to name a few points more specifically:
- the always same routine every month and therefore every week, helped me a lot to develop routine and to keep track.
- The routine schedules with indication of the type of task and practice period have saved a lot of "you have to think about it" saved.
- the exact task like "8 times a day for the next 21 days" gave me the chance to spend more time on one exercise. This way I was never under time pressure and learned how rewarding it is to dwell on one thing.
What was not expected was the actual variety of what the course offered. What I liked most was the passion and good intentions behind everything. I can (have) highly recommend Shaolin.Online. Why: For a very long time I was looking for help, exercises, instructions, teachings, in fact for "instruments" or a teacher with whose help I could improve my personal situation. With Shaolin.online I have found all this. My main argument is: Shaolin.online is absolutely authentic and credible. You can turn to it with confidence. And I would like to thank all contributors most sincerely.

Christine Klein - Retired teacher, Germany

"I would recommend with my whole heart."

I now see the importance of taking responsibility for myself and have the confidence to stand up for what is right even when that means standing alone without support. This may not seem significant to some but to me, it has been life changing. I cannot thank The Shaolin Temple Europe enough. Their generosity and compassion has changed so many lives for the better. To provide this to the world is truly amazing and I would recommend with my whole heart.

Hannah Tyas - 34 years - Yorkshire, UK - English tutoring teacher

- I am calmer and much more controlled when encountering difficult people or situations and find my level of awareness of my surroundings, noises, colours etc much sharper. -

Shaolin Self Mastery Course - physical level - I have been amazed by the rapid increase in weight loss, endurance and ability to endure with the physical exercises as the course has progressed. I have firmed up and toned a great deal of my muscles, especially in my legs. Mentally - I am finding I have much more self discipline and focus. I am an artist, and since starting this course, I am finding it much easier to connect with my intuition and create paintings borne from my spirit. I am able to access a meditative state much easier even when I am painting. I am calmer and much more controlled when encountering difficult people or situations and find my level of awareness of my surroundings, noises, colours etc much sharper.
Since encountering SHY and STE, my life as drastically changed. I sadly lost my mother in August 2021 and I sincerely feel that if it were not for your teachings, this deep pain would have been much much more difficult to endure and come out the other end. It is the very practises themselves and Shifu's most beautiful way of teaching them, which has allowed them to become embedded within my being. I am a much more calm, conscious and intentional person now.
Realising the power we have access to within ourselves is a huge asset and gift to me. What really touched my heart is the way SHY carries himself and his voice has such deep contemplation attached to every answer.
Also, I am finding that I am consciously planning my life for the first time in my life. Before, I was on the reactive foot - always in a stress situation as I was not in control - low confidence and feeling like an item stuck in a stormy sea. Now, I feel my inner energy and outer aura becoming stronger and more grounded. I am writing my own life story and trusting that this is a good Universe.

Vanessa Penman - Artist, New Zealand

"I feel more energetic, positive and loving than before."

The Temple’s online training and talks motivated me to achieve something remarkable. The Shaolin way helped me to become more centered, balanced, mindful, patient and compassionate – I feel more energetic, positive and loving than before – my mind and heart open up. I feel stronger and able to deal with whatever life brings me. And my social interactions healed and improved – spreading focus and joy to others.

- Following the practices, I feel energized, younger and strong -

On the physical level I was struggling with the degenerative effects of Sjögren's syndrome and Raynauld phenomenon, in addition to lower back problems. On the mental level, I received a diagnosis of PTSD, which could be the cause of constant anxiety and sporadic episodes of depressive mood. I had difficulty to deal with the loss of loved ones, and for over two decades I watched the negative mental activity (guilty, grief) worsening with time.
Following the course I can feel improvements in every single aspect. Despite the struggles with disciplining and creating a routine (which I am still working on) I was able to develop my practice enough to stop feeling the pain in the back, and to align my whole body structure, to develop my muscles, my posture has improved immensely - and I feel that it will become perfect once I manage to follow a constant routine of daily practice. My flexibility is returning and, as long as I am constant with the practice, the pain and stiffness in the joints stay away.

I am also amazed to see how we can regain energy. Following the practices, all of this is over, I feel energized, younger and strong. People here in Brazil even stop calling "senhora" (old lady) and started calling me você (you). :) The theory classes reminded me of important lessons that I have been receiving in my journey, and also brought new insights specially about Buddhism, which I did not know much. I would love to keep learning from Abbot Shi Heng Zong. The meditation sessions also have been fantastic, even though I have been trying to explore the subject for ages, I am now finally incorporating them into my daily routine, thanks to the encouragement of Shi Miao Hai. He enlightened me about the practical effects of meditation in our mind and behaviour.

Instead of feeling hopeless as it happened before, now I am able to remind myself that progress is not a straight line up, but a journey made of many ups and downs, and I am looking forward to keep advancing each day more towards my goal. Everything in the course exceeded my expectations. What I liked best was to be able to dive openly in it, knowing and feeling that everyone involved in this project is working with the genuine intention to enable us to reach our full potential. There are no hidden intentions, like we find in many other courses: "buy this and at the end we will sell you something more", as if life was an eternal search. There is no catch, it is all here. This course offers all we need to develop our full potential.
I definitely recommend Shaolin.Online. As Master Shi Heng Yi points in his Final Talk, this course presents the foundation for living a health and fulfilling life. He beautifully managed to summarize in one year the most essential methods learnt in a lifelong of intensive training. I feel blessed and lucky for having found him. Thank you for the amazing work you are doing for humanity, Sifu!

"Profound changes in my life in terms of my physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing."

Shifu has opened a whole new world to me: the world of Shaolin Arts. They have brought profound changes to my life in terms of my physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Qigong has improved my mobility greatly, given me a stronger and healthier body and makes my yoga practice more fluid, too. The best news for me is that my most recent MRI scan shows no spinal stenosis anymore. Shifu’s teaching has helped me stay grounded, peaceful and stable to cope with the challenges life is throwing at me.

Tuong-Vi Black - 67 years - England - Yoga teacher

- Taking part in the online Mastery Course, I find immense satisfaction in the program's structure -

I, Yehoshua Zohar, at 69 years old, hailing from Israel, married, a father of 4 adult children, and a proud grandfather of 7, want to share my transformative journey with Shaolin Online. It all began at the end of 2020 during a lockdown when, while engaging in calisthenics and Yoga on YouTube, I stumbled upon the Shaolin Temple Europe through a fortuitous recommendation. Despite being 67, retired, and in good health, my understanding of Buddhism was not profound.
Taking part in the Self Mastery Course, I find immense satisfaction in the program's structure. As a lifelong amateur athlete, I sense that I've embarked on a new phase of development with the internal Shaolin arts. The timing aligns perfectly with the changes in my aging body, and being a retiree allows me the luxury of almost daily practice. The discovery of Qi Gong during the pandemic has been a delightful addition, bringing joy to my practice, especially as I progress with the soft fist form. Various practices, including breath training, crouched monkey, power workouts, and flexibility, have greatly benefited me.
While I recognize the mental and spiritual aspects, my primary focus lies on the physical program. With multiple university degrees and being autodidactic, I appreciate the mind-physical connection in Shaolin arts, particularly in areas like static training, strengthening, and their positive impact on willpower

Yehoshua Zohar - High school principal, Israel

- A gift for yourself and all the people around yourself -

I have found more peace and balance, which affects all areas of my life. I have become more flexible and lost some excess kilos, although I was not concerned with that. I run faster (and I think this is because I train more varied, not more volume). Balance and tranquility, more flexible, more energetic, I sleep better. The integrated approach that highlights all domains and the simplicity with which things are explained with deeper layers. You can follow even if you don't understand it. You can train at the moments that suit you best and get enough tools to organize. Everyone can train at his or her level and grow.
Very sure I would recommend, a gift for yourself and all the people around yourself. Very helpful employees. Very user-friendly program and so much to discover. A living helpline if you wouldn't find it anyway that always kindly and patiently shows the way. A blessing.

Verle Kiebooms - Social Worker, Belgium

- The Self-Mastery program has been a revelation, unlocking layers of understanding within me. -

I'm Yuni Sriwitono, 42, from Indonesia, happily single, and immersed in the worlds of dance and design. The Self-Mastery program has been a revelation, unlocking layers of understanding within me. As I delved deeper into the exercises and discussions, I realized that the more I explore my breath, the more space I find within myself a space I can share with others, especially my parents. This course has shown me the importance of nurturing 'me' before extending it to others.
It introduced me to perspectives different from the dogmas of my upbringing essential revelations that challenge my old beliefs. I often found myself lost in thought during practice, grappling with this new language and its impact on my body. At 40, I've come to realize that it's time to deconstruct the systems I spent my childhood mastering. I'm in the process of building something new, and the journey is unfolding.
In practical terms, this expanded understanding of our bodies and energy development has significantly enriched my work in dance. The course compelled me to release prior judgments, allowing me to perceive my students in new ways. I've become a better guide, assisting them in uncovering hidden abilities. Recently, I successfully mentored a young dancer, even though our genres differed. As a dancer, I've learned to be kinder to myself while maintaining high expectations. I'm deeply grateful for the profound lessons this course continues to impart.

- I no longer struggle against racing thoughts, and I no longer slip into rumination -

When I started the Self-Mastery program, I was dealing with a lot of anxiety, rumination and racing thoughts. I suffered from shallow breathing and would sometimes stop breathing for a few moments in stressful situations. I was also just learning about Buddhism and Daoism, but I didn't have a teacher or curriculum to follow, so I was not getting much benefit from those teachings. I was lost in a sea of information with no guidance on how the different bits of knowledge fit together.
Since the start of the program, my mental state is much calmer and clearer. I no longer struggle against racing thoughts, and I no longer slip into rumination. My anxiety has been greatly reduced and people around me have noticed my progress in that area of my life. I have noticed that my natural way of breathing is deeper and that in moments where I would normally stop breathing, I instead take a deep breath and become aware of my breath. Every time that happens, I am reminded of how grateful I am to have learned the breathing techniques from the program. In the area of spirituality, I have progressed in my understanding of the Buddhist and Daoist teachings, and thanks to the Self-Mastery program, I understand how they work together. The program gave me an understanding of how those teachings can be applied to life and now I am on the road to a better quality of life because I am gradually seeing benefits of following these dharma teachings. I have also benefitted a lot from the online community and their answers to my many questions about Buddhism and Daoism, so I am very grateful for the opportunity to join the Self-Mastery Program Facebook group.
My favorite part of the program was the breathing lesson because it made such a huge impact on my day-to-day life--mentally and physically. The online Facebook community exceeded my expectations because the other members are so helpful and knowledgeable. Also, because the Facebook community members offer their good will and inspiration freely to other group members to encourage everyone to thrive in life.
I definitely recommend Shaolin.Online because it is a platform where students can learn authentic ancient teachings from teachers who thoughtfully cultivate that knowledge and provide it with the intention that all their students live well. The courses on Shaolin.Online offer knowledge and methods that help students build their character, understand their mind and emotions, and discipline their minds and bodies.

- I pursued my life goals with increased acuity and performed at my best in the goals I set for myself -

By starting the self-mastery program, I engaged in the practice in order to improve my physical form, to open my body, to strengthen my legs, to work on the alignment of the spine. I intended to mobilize, to focus attention; I targeted self-control through life's challenges. I was already on this path and I was looking to continue with a practice and a guide that inspired me. I wanted to access energy practices of millennial tradition, which I sensed for me. It was.
My physical condition has improved, my legs have gained strength. My will to always go further has been maintained. The ability to mobilize and concentrate energy unfolded in me. My mind has sharpened, or finally, something in me has gained in awareness, in finesse, in sensitivity, in fluidity. I pursued my life goals with increased acuity and performed at my best in the goals I set for myself. I continue.
I was, on several occasions, delighted and surprised that an exercise fell at the right time and was exactly in phase with what I needed to continue to evolve. What exceeded my expectations were the discoveries, the passages where my body unblocked, where my organism expanded its possibilities. Breathing has greatly amplified, “the core” (abdominal region) has strengthened. My body opened up more and more and the alignment of the skeleton became straighter. The work is not finished..
The program has been beneficial for me. The commitment of Shi Heng Yi and his team at Shaolin Temple Europe is clear and honest. I encourage this vision that I feel is mine. Everyone has to find their way.

- These last four months have transformed me in ways I could not have imagined -

Whatever work the week's lesson demanded, it brought me a certain well-being: intellectual satisfaction, emotional calm, physical improvement, and even almost childlike feelings of happiness by learning Chan Gong Rou Quan or Rei Men Shou. I so appreciate the sessions of Master Shi Heng Zong, the abbot of the monastery. I love his way of presenting things, through some kind of parables and some humour. Knowledge that I used to have on a purely abstract level has now become more concrete in my days.
These last four months have transformed me in ways I could not have imagined. I have found the courage to take on things that I had been procrastinating on for many months, even years. The video courses, the workbooks, the FB community, the rhythm, the live sessions, etc., each of the aspects and tools that I have access to since my enrollment all contribute to the evolution that I experience day by day.

Céline Benninger - Associate Professor, France

- The self-mastery program has the potential to help everyone -

Having the chance to directly learn from the temple every week, getting such a variety of insights into the Shaolin practices and being looked after by the whole Shaolin Online community during the whole program is a huge gift and a true blessing. The curriculum is very well planned, addressing all aspects of life with practical and theoretical weekly tasks.
I observe more, I know what to focus on and do not feel overwhelmed that easily anymore. I found stability within myself, yet I’m still learning and evolving. I notice how it has changed me and my life as I very frequently get positive feedback from family, friends, colleagues, neighbours and sometimes even strangers. Every week I’m curious and excited which content will be presented next. Being part of the Shaolin Online community and following the self-mastery course is a huge enrichment for my everyday life.
I can only speak for myself but I believe that the self-mastery program has the potential to help everyone who is willing to trust, open up and learn. I dearly recommend to give it a try and maybe we’ll meet along the way to self-mastery soon.

Victoria Allcock - Primary School Teacher, Germany

- My entire world inside myself has changed .. inside and outside -

I was looking for my path and needed some guidance. My entire world inside myself has changed .. inside and outside. The amount of self growth the course provided me exceeded my expectations.
I would recommend Shaolin.online mainly for anyone wanting to deepen and enrich themselves through the ancient arts.

Michael Iavarone - Acupuncturist, Switzerland

"I love the concept of self mastery introduced by Shifu."

When I first saw Shifu Shi Heng Yi online, I was very impressed by his martial arts skills. His physical abilities equate to that of a professional athlete. But at the same time, the way he carries himself and the way he talks, there's a lot of compassion, humilty, peace and authenticity. I love the concept of self mastery introduced by Shifu. I can't solve my problems by externalizing. It's all about the inner work; it's purely an inside job. We have this amazing mind and a powerful body. With the right training, we can become the best version of ourself. I definetely would recommend Shifu and the teachings of Shaolin Online.

Kate Nguyen - 42 years - Portland, USA - Clinical pharmacist

- I now have a set of lifelong tools for my personal growth and wellbeing -

I have created a solid, regular daily routine. Even though I am going through a quite stressful period at work, I am applying as much as possible a ‘letting go’ attitude. While doing qigong sequences, and standing positions, I have started noticing some amount of qi flow. My nutrition turned much more towards the vegetarian side of the spectrum (but it is not vegetarian). My life changed for the better as, already in the middle of the course, I have the feeling that I now have a set of lifelong tools for my personal growth and wellbeing.
I would recommend Shaolin Online without any doubt. Because it works, because there is a vibrant and supportive online community, because master Shi Heng Yi and all the people involved really care about this and it brings and extra energy to the experience.

Marco Cariglia - Financial Services, Italy

- The program helped me finding answers, opening new routes & enlarging my vision -

I wanted to deepen my knowledge of the martial arts. The program helped me finding answers. It also helped opening new routes, enlarging my vision. The program gave me a structure, a little sense of belonging to a kind community. It impacted my whole life, my health, my state of mind, my interactions with people and my work.
I really appreciated the rhythm: practice, theory, live sessions, bonus sessions and so on. Everything was worth focusing and doing the homeworks. If I had to choose, I think the best is the Chan Gong Rou Quan form we were grateful to learn. Variety in the program exceeded my expectations.
I would absolutely recommend this training. Self-mastery is a beautiful method more people should endeavour.

Nicolas Bergé - Community Business Owner, France

"I noticed some changes even within a month or two."

After practicing regularly I noticed some changes even within a month or two. The most important thing I'd say is the general feeling of calmness. I began to feel more grounded, more relaxed, easy going, and less affected by the constant overwhelming things that are happening in the world in general, and also at my work. The biggest improvement would be that I finally managed to create a daily routine and stick to it. Also physically I started to have more energy and strength. What surprised me the most was the feeling of connection with my body. My trust in the practice has grown very much.

Ena Dobraca - 38 years - Bosnia and Herzegovina - Electrical engineer

- There is nothing like it -

For me the most important aspect about the Self-Mastery Program is that there is nothing like it. It really offers the full package for body, mind and spirit with such a great structure. The commitment and care that was put into creating this program from all the people involved can be felt in every video.
The Program has become a kind of compass for me in all imaginable life areas. My physical fitness has without doubt improved a lot. Thanks to the variety of exercises and how the program is structured it has become “easy” to integrate the practices into daily life. Also my mind has become much calmer and focused which benefits me in my work-life and personal life. In general I just feel a lot more balanced and calm especially in unexpected situations that would normally shake things up. I have now also found information about nutrition and healthy eating that feels doable which is something I have been looking for. My life has changed so much in a positive way. With every new lesson my trust in myself grows and also in the teachings.
Shaolin Online gives such a high quality of teachings and without doubt is improving my life in all areas, the Online Platform does offer all you need. I would definitely recommend Shaolin Online. It is a bundle of knowledge that I am sure everyone can benefit from.

- My testimony is a living example of the transformative power of Shaolin martial arts, fostering physical well-being, mental resilience, and heightened mindfulness. -

Hello, I'm Hanny (J.M.) Keulers, 74 years old, residing here in Greece. Today, I'd like to share my profound experience with Shaolin Online. As a thinker, translator, and writer, I've led a life in solitude, grappling with depression. Yet, recently, I made a decisive choice to break free from its grip.
Chronic back pain and my history as a smoker presented additional challenges. However, in Greece, I discovered the healing power of Iyengar Yoga, particularly in breath control and relaxing tense body parts. In my quest for more energy, I found a companion in Jan Evers, a disciple of Ip Man, who introduced me to Tai Chi. The pandemic led me to Shaolin Temple Europe, and in 2021, I deepened my understanding through the online courses of Shifu Shi Heng Yi.
For me, the essence of Shaolin martial arts lies in the significance of breath and self-awareness. Though I align with Buddhist principles, I do not practice any religion. Health tests in 2021 attest to my outstanding physical condition, credited to my martial arts practice. The heightened awareness during training and controlled breathing impart a sense of lightness.
I share a poignant anecdote about a wooden spoon that has faithfully served me for half a century. This spoon bears the marks of my daily use and serves as a reminder of how we often overlook the subtle imprints of our lives. It has become a cherished possession symbolizing the fleeting nature of life. My testimony is a living example of the transformative power of Shaolin martial arts, fostering physical well-being, mental resilience, and heightened mindfulness.

- Master Shi Heng Yi's teachings on living, mindset, problem-solving, and Shaolin arts resonated deeply with me -

Master Shi Heng Yi's teachings on living, mindset, problem-solving, and Shaolin arts resonated deeply with me. His authenticity was evident as he embodied the principles he shared. Upon incorporating his video presentations into my routine, I experienced unexpected relief from persistent hip pain that had troubled me for two years. This newfound physical well-being translated into a calmer, happier, and more agile version of myself, with improved clarity of thought. Engaging in daily exercises, sometimes twice a day, brought about numerous positive changes that would take hours to enumerate, reinstating my confidence in human kindness.

- I like everything about this Program -

I like everything about this Program. From the content to its organization of lessons and materials is just unbelievable. I’ve noticed that my sleep has been better, and the anxieties have subsided a bit. Also, there have been situations that I was less reactive than I tended to be in the past. On the martial art training side, I have now returned to my own practice and it has definitely improved.
I can tell Sifu Shi Heng Yi and his team have put a lot of thought and planning into it. There is a progression of the curriculum. Also, the downloadable notes / questions section is just amazing. It has definitely helped me to learn better. Typically, it is the students who will need to take notes from the lessons. In this Program, all the notes are being provided to us. The Ritual section of the Program has also helped me tremendously. It provides a way for me to remember the information after the lesson and even after the Program is finished.
At the end of the day, Sifu Shi Heng Yi has thought of every aspect of our learning, not just for the 12-month period; but for our lifetime. If I had to pinpoint the one thing. It will be the holistic approach that it combines the physical, the mental and the body. I would definitely recommend this Program to anyone.

Jo - Portfolio Manager & CCO, Canada

- You can feel the love for Shaolin Arts in every word, movement, video, workbook and in the way how well this course is planned and implemented -

When starting the Self-Mastery course, our Dojo had been closed down because of the pandemic. This was the problem outside. My personal problem was that I was not strong enough to go my own way through all influences from outside.
As hoped, I could develop independancy in the mind and also was able to find the time only for the training, keeping all other external demands out. The Self-Mastery course touched every life area in a very deep way. Physically and mentally I see and feel a big difference since the start towards a higher level of strength and resilience. There is also a remarkable progress in dealing with other people in a way to accept anyone including myself better and be more patient and relaxed in every situation.
The best thing about this course was that my lifelong dream of learning about Shaolin Arts finally came true and I enjoyed and loved every second of practice and theory !!! My expectations are exceeded in the way that the course was structured so well and the instructions are so fine and clear that it was easy to keep up the training inmidst a very busy daily life of a working and single educating mom. You can feel the love for Shaolin Arts in every word, movement, video, workbook and in the way how well this course is planned and implemented. Special thanks to every person who invested time and mindfulness into the Self-Mastery program, it is the greatest gift I ever received. Be blessed for sharing all this knowledge with us !!!

No matter what age or what the circumstances are, I am sure that everybody can participate in the benefits of this universal teachings by great masters and instructors.

"My physical strength is marvelously improved."

Firstly, my physical strength is marvelously improved. My legs are a lot stronger and firmer. My breaths are deeper and my inner power is so strong. My body feels so light. And since I watch and practice more with Shifu's videos, I meditate a lot more on everything I do. I also perform common tasks with a calmer mind and a deeper connection. Shifu gives what's good to people, what he thinks would bring the most benefits to humanity. Shifu cares, too. Every time I listen to Shifu's teachings, I feel awake and want to do good things, or if I was lost some times, I found my way back to what I was doing with a better mood.

- I didn't think that it would have such impact on the way of apprehending life -

Since starting this program I feel better in my body, I have getting more stability in Tai chi. I get a better breathing. I have a better organization in my daily life and I'm more dynamic. I have forgiven a lot of things so I feel more free in my mind.
I like very much the form we learn in live training but all the program is very good and I wait for every session. I didn't think that it would have such impact on the way of apprehending life.
The Self Mastery program is useful for everyone, it is very complete, every month brings something new. I feel well, I'm on a new way and I'm very grateful for the Shaolin teachings.

Marie France Duvic - Pensioner, France

- I wholeheartedly recommend Shaolin.Online for a transformative and joyful journey. -

Embarking on the Self-Mastery program, I faced initial challenges: a lack of motivation for Qi Gong and meditation, coupled with a firm commitment to stay in the IT sector until retirement. Rediscovering my "inner warrior" marked a pivotal shift, leading to a career change after 26 years and defiance of age-related stereotypes.
Despite health setbacks, including a kidney stone, I opted for self-healing without invasive medical interventions. The program, covering breathwork, stability, meditation, and more, surpassed expectations. Shifu Shi Heng Yi's inspiring teachings and the diversity of movements not only brought joy but elevated my flexibility and self-awareness to new heights.
In today's tumultuous Western society, Shaolin teachings offer stability, inner peace, and a fulfilling life, countering disruptions to self-integrity and inner balance. I wholeheartedly recommend Shaolin.Online for a transformative and joyful journey.

Miroslav Pospisek - IT security specialist and TCM therapist

"I feel more energetic, positive and loving than before."

The Temple’s online training and talks motivated me to achieve something remarkable. The Shaolin way helped me to become more centered, balanced, mindful, patient and compassionate – I feel more energetic, positive and loving than before – my mind and heart open up. I feel stronger and able to deal with whatever life brings me. And my social interactions healed and improved – spreading focus and joy to others.

Alexandra Landmann PhD - 46 years - Bali - Translator

- The self-mastery program has the potential to help everyone -

Having the chance to directly learn from the temple every week, getting such a variety of insights into the Shaolin practices and being looked after by the whole Shaolin Online community during the whole program is a huge gift and a true blessing. The curriculum is very well planned, addressing all aspects of life with practical and theoretical weekly tasks.
I observe more, I know what to focus on and do not feel overwhelmed that easily anymore. I found stability within myself, yet I’m still learning and evolving. I notice how it has changed me and my life as I very frequently get positive feedback from family, friends, colleagues, neighbours and sometimes even strangers. Every week I’m curious and excited which content will be presented next. Being part of the Shaolin Online community and following the self-mastery course is a huge enrichment for my everyday life.
I can only speak for myself but I believe that the self-mastery program has the potential to help everyone who is willing to trust, open up and learn. I dearly recommend to give it a try and maybe we’ll meet along the way to self-mastery soon.

Victoria Allcock - Primary School Teacher, Germany

- My mind is clearer and body is stronger -

By the 3rd month my body has gotten used to waking at the same time everyday that I did not need an alarm clock anymore. My mind is clearer and body is stronger. Shaolin teachings change my life for the better because just like the title of this program: Self-Mastery, I learn a lot about myself that I never imagine I would venture out. I truly enjoy the power workouts in the program. The theory sessions are the ones that exceeded my expectations because they truly give me a deeper insights to what I learned before but never in this much depth.
I recommend Shaolin online program to anyone who wants to learn about him/herself from the inside out. Whenever my patients ask me how I can utter my advice to them in such a beautiful flow, I owe this ability to the Shaolin Self Mastery program. My mind becomes much calmer and my thoughts are clearer that I do not hesitate to execute whatever tasks at hand with confidence.

Susanti Cai - Acupuncturist & Herbalist, USA

- I now have a set of lifelong tools for my personal growth and wellbeing -

I have created a solid, regular daily routine. Even though I am going through a quite stressful period at work, I am applying as much as possible a ‘letting go’ attitude. While doing qigong sequences, and standing positions, I have started noticing some amount of qi flow. My nutrition turned much more towards the vegetarian side of the spectrum (but it is not vegetarian). My life changed for the better as, already in the middle of the course, I have the feeling that I now have a set of lifelong tools for my personal growth and wellbeing.
I would recommend Shaolin Online without any doubt. Because it works, because there is a vibrant and supportive online community, because master Shi Heng Yi and all the people involved really care about this and it brings and extra energy to the experience.

Marco Cariglia - Financial Services, Italy

"Through the Shaolin teachings I achieved everything and beyond."

My problem was that I suffered from repeated extreme violence, capture and torture in my childhood. These teachings completed my healing - which is often considered not possible for this type of early traumatic events. Through the Shaolin teachings I achieved everything and beyond. Physical health first, all blockages were released. I don’t need to go to physiotherapy anymore, to get manipulated or to have needles stuck in me. I can feel my body, I can be autonomous and in charge of my health. I also achieved a calm mind, peace and stability. I would most definitely recommend Shifu’s online teachings.

Gabriella Aebischer - Switzerland - Chemical risk engineer

- I pursued my life goals with increased acuity and performed at my best in the goals I set for myself -

By starting the self-mastery program, I engaged in the practice in order to improve my physical form, to open my body, to strengthen my legs, to work on the alignment of the spine. I intended to mobilize, to focus attention; I targeted self-control through life's challenges. I was already on this path and I was looking to continue with a practice and a guide that inspired me. I wanted to access energy practices of millennial tradition, which I sensed for me. It was.
My physical condition has improved, my legs have gained strength. My will to always go further has been maintained. The ability to mobilize and concentrate energy unfolded in me. My mind has sharpened, or finally, something in me has gained in awareness, in finesse, in sensitivity, in fluidity. I pursued my life goals with increased acuity and performed at my best in the goals I set for myself. I continue.
I was, on several occasions, delighted and surprised that an exercise fell at the right time and was exactly in phase with what I needed to continue to evolve. What exceeded my expectations were the discoveries, the passages where my body unblocked, where my organism expanded its possibilities. Breathing has greatly amplified, “the core” (abdominal region) has strengthened. My body opened up more and more and the alignment of the skeleton became straighter. The work is not finished..
The program has been beneficial for me. The commitment of Shi Heng Yi and his team at Shaolin Temple Europe is clear and honest. I encourage this vision that I feel is mine. Everyone has to find their way.

Rosa Zacharie - Actress & Naturopath, Canada

- It’s an investment that is available to you for life -

From the very first exercise I experienced deep relief in the form of clarity. I felt my functioning improve as I became more mentally alert, less agitated and more patient. This simple yet profound breakthrough experience fueled my desire to continue again and again, driven by satisfaction through direct experience.
My sense of compassion towards others has noticeably increased. I also love the aspect of the community, going through transformation, together. The best part for me was the authenticity of the program. It’s not just about kicking and punching but there’s a sacredness about the intention behind this program that can be felt. The level of detail that Sifu Heng Yi put into every movement and repeated it so that beginners like me could follow along and see improvement. The content is set up where it is not too long and not rushed either.
I would recommend Shaolin Online to anyone seeking a deeper connection within themselves or those who are curious exploring a different perspective on life. This program is different, in that respect, in that it recognizes the importance of left and right hemispheres of the brain to develop a sensitivity of yourself in relation to the environment. This is the first program that has an app and allows you to download everything to your content. The truth is, it’s not just a program, it’s a commitment to yourself. It’s an investment that is available to you for life.

Robbie Singh - Mental Health Therapist, USA

- Following the practices, I feel energized, younger and strong -

On the physical level I was struggling with the degenerative effects of Sjögren's syndrome and Raynauld phenomenon, in addition to lower back problems. On the mental level, I received a diagnosis of PTSD, which could be the cause of constant anxiety and sporadic episodes of depressive mood. I had difficulty to deal with the loss of loved ones, and for over two decades I watched the negative mental activity (guilty, grief) worsening with time.
Following the course I can feel improvements in every single aspect. Despite the struggles with disciplining and creating a routine (which I am still working on) I was able to develop my practice enough to stop feeling the pain in the back, and to align my whole body structure, to develop my muscles, my posture has improved immensely - and I feel that it will become perfect once I manage to follow a constant routine of daily practice. My flexibility is returning and, as long as I am constant with the practice, the pain and stiffness in the joints stay away.

I am also amazed to see how we can regain energy. Following the practices, all of this is over, I feel energized, younger and strong. People here in Brazil even stop calling "senhora" (old lady) and started calling me você (you). :) The theory classes reminded me of important lessons that I have been receiving in my journey, and also brought new insights specially about Buddhism, which I did not know much. I would love to keep learning from Abbot Shi Heng Zong. The meditation sessions also have been fantastic, even though I have been trying to explore the subject for ages, I am now finally incorporating them into my daily routine, thanks to the encouragement of Shi Miao Hai. He enlightened me about the practical effects of meditation in our mind and behaviour.

Instead of feeling hopeless as it happened before, now I am able to remind myself that progress is not a straight line up, but a journey made of many ups and downs, and I am looking forward to keep advancing each day more towards my goal. Everything in the course exceeded my expectations. What I liked best was to be able to dive openly in it, knowing and feeling that everyone involved in this project is working with the genuine intention to enable us to reach our full potential. There are no hidden intentions, like we find in many other courses: "buy this and at the end we will sell you something more", as if life was an eternal search. There is no catch, it is all here. This course offers all we need to develop our full potential.
I definitely recommend Shaolin.Online. As Master Shi Heng Yi points in his Final Talk, this course presents the foundation for living a health and fulfilling life. He beautifully managed to summarize in one year the most essential methods learnt in a lifelong of intensive training. I feel blessed and lucky for having found him. Thank you for the amazing work you are doing for humanity, Sifu!

Karla Grünewald Hollamby - Brazil / Australia

- It's a valuable asset for the well-being of individuals and society as a whole. -

My main hurdle was bolstering self-discipline and carving out time for daily meditation. Since integrating meditation into my routine, I've witnessed a transformation in my body, state of mind, and emotional stability. The course itself, from start to finish, stands out as a comprehensive journey. It provides a solid theoretical foundation in Shaolin philosophy, akin to a versatile Swiss army knife, easily comprehensible and applicable. Notably, the program establishes a robust physical foundation with sustainable maintenance methods.
For me, the program has ushered in unity, harmony, and a joyous mindset. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone, as it brings attention back to the vital aspects of self-discipline and responsibility that society often overlooks. In an age where we've lost touch with natural self-care methods and harmony, where anger prevails over happiness, and physical fitness wanes in the digital era, the Self-Mastery program is a beacon guiding us back to these essential principles. It's a valuable asset for the well-being of individuals and society as a whole.

Veli-Matti Viinikainen - Lifeguard in Finland

- The program helped me finding answers, opening new routes & enlarging my vision -

I wanted to deepen my knowledge of the martial arts. The program helped me finding answers. It also helped opening new routes, enlarging my vision. The program gave me a structure, a little sense of belonging to a kind community. It impacted my whole life, my health, my state of mind, my interactions with people and my work.
I really appreciated the rhythm: practice, theory, live sessions, bonus sessions and so on. Everything was worth focusing and doing the homeworks. If I had to choose, I think the best is the Chan Gong Rou Quan form we were grateful to learn. Variety in the program exceeded my expectations.
I would absolutely recommend this training. Self-mastery is a beautiful method more people should endeavour.

Nicolas Bergé - Community Business Owner, France

- Experiencing a profound integration of mind and body, my mental outlook has become more positive, less prone to anger. -

Since starting with Shifu’s 2019 Ba Duan Jin video, I've experienced profound changes in both my body and mind. Almost immediately, I noticed my body realigning, with growing endurance and focus. It's an ongoing process, and each day seems to reveal a new "clue."
Shifu's emphasis on structure, strength, endurance, relaxation, and breathing initiated a self-healing process. My spine is straighter, and proper alignment in MaBu, GongBu, and DunHouShi is realigning my feet, legs, and hips, leading to significant improvements. My entire structure is changing.
Experiencing a profound integration of mind and body, my mental outlook has become more positive, less prone to anger. I frequently contemplate the Wu De (Martial Virtues) before acting, shifting from morning sluggishness to enthusiasm by following Shifu's guidance. While becoming physically stronger and more aware through the Self-Mastery course, I maintain peace, patience, and growing willpower. This transformative practice is beneficial for individuals of any age and skill level, offering power workouts, Monkey postures, self-massage, and meditation for strength, stamina, coordination, and realignment. Shifu stands out among the best teachers I've encountered over the past 50 years.

Trudy Paul - Retired Attorney, USA

- I feel a huge overall transformation on every level -

I feel a huge overall transformation on every level. Thanks to the exercises, I have experienced complete peace and focus before a concert, that before was stress and anxiety. On the body level, I have lost the doubts, and now I feel confident and calm when it comes to the health of my body. I am full of energy and I feel great. On emotional level, I feel deeper peace and self-love, on mindset level I have more patience and courage to take risks and to approach problem solving with peace and no stress. I feel more balanced from nutritional aspect. I have deeper understanding of other people since my listening skills have increased. I completely recommend Shaolin online!

Aneta Milcent - Musician, France

- You can feel the love for Shaolin Arts in every word, movement, video, workbook and in the way how well this course is planned and implemented -

When starting the Self-Mastery course, our Dojo had been closed down because of the pandemic. This was the problem outside. My personal problem was that I was not strong enough to go my own way through all influences from outside.
As hoped, I could develop independancy in the mind and also was able to find the time only for the training, keeping all other external demands out. The Self-Mastery course touched every life area in a very deep way. Physically and mentally I see and feel a big difference since the start towards a higher level of strength and resilience. There is also a remarkable progress in dealing with other people in a way to accept anyone including myself better and be more patient and relaxed in every situation.
The best thing about this course was that my lifelong dream of learning about Shaolin Arts finally came true and I enjoyed and loved every second of practice and theory !!! My expectations are exceeded in the way that the course was structured so well and the instructions are so fine and clear that it was easy to keep up the training inmidst a very busy daily life of a working and single educating mom. You can feel the love for Shaolin Arts in every word, movement, video, workbook and in the way how well this course is planned and implemented. Special thanks to every person who invested time and mindfulness into the Self-Mastery program, it is the greatest gift I ever received. Be blessed for sharing all this knowledge with us !!!
To anyone who likes to improve physical resistance, a healthy mind, better personal relationships, and is looking for wisdom even in daily life, I recommend the teachings of Shaolin.Online. No matter what age or what the circumstances are, I am sure that everybody can participate in the benefits of this universal teachings by great masters and instructors.

Anja Clemens - Carpenter, Germany

- As if I was actually at the temple -

Being just four months into the Shaolin Self-Mastery program, I already notice a shift in my focus, my nutritional choices, my physical strength and stamina, my mental and emotional awareness and I know that upon completion, I will be a finer version of myself in all these areas and others that I can ever imagine or think. The Buddhist philosophy that I had no understanding before now, especially as a Westerner, has influenced my awareness significantly.The lessons and the manner in which the lessons are presented are straightforward and it feels to me that I am sitting, standing, practicing with the teacher as if I was actually at the temple.
I highly recommend the Self-Mastery program because it is a rare opportunity to be introduced and offered the training and heritage of the lineage of the Shaolin teachings as well as connect with like-minded individuals in an online community who support, offer practices and reflections on their own journey to self-mastery.

Kathy Swanson - Executive Manager, USA

- I get great response from my surroundings. -

As I enrolled in the Selfmastery I have changed from being tense controlling and forceful in relations to be more relaxed happy and calm. In bigger groups before I would feel much pressure to do better. Now I enjoy more, I feel more confident and connected with everybody. My perspective has changed. I observe more and Release. I feel in general more connected and confident. I can say yes without worry and enjoy. What before made me panic I can smile and Release. I get great response from my surroundings.
I really like to participate with the Shaolin community in the live zoom. I have this feeling of the global Qi Gong family in every repeat. Every month the practice videos exceed my expectations I enjoy the creative Way our teacher balance and share the Shaolin fundamentals. I will recommend Shaolin Online. I feel so fortunate that The Shaolin Temple Europe sharing online teachings globally. Shaolin Methods really meet our need for being connected. We dont have to think much, just follow the teachings, the breathing, the moves, rest will reveal in time.

Lone Bording Jensen - Pensioner, Denmark

"My physical strength is marvelously improved."

Firstly, my physical strength is marvelously improved. My legs are a lot stronger and firmer. My breaths are deeper and my inner power is so strong. My body feels so light. And since I watch and practice more with Shifu's videos, I meditate a lot more on everything I do. I also perform common tasks with a calmer mind and a deeper connection. Shifu gives what's good to people, what he thinks would bring the most benefits to humanity. Shifu cares, too. Every time I listen to Shifu's teachings, I feel awake and want to do good things, or if I was lost some times, I found my way back to what I was doing with a better mood.

Hy Phung - 39 years - Vietnam - Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Yoga instructor

"I love the concept of self mastery introduced by Shifu."

When I first saw Shifu Shi Heng Yi online, I was very impressed by his martial arts skills. His physical abilities equate to that of a professional athlete. But at the same time, the way he carries himself and the way he talks, there's a lot of compassion, humilty, peace and authenticity. I love the concept of self mastery introduced by Shifu. I can't solve my problems by externalizing. It's all about the inner work; it's purely an inside job. We have this amazing mind and a powerful body. With the right training, we can become the best version of ourself. I definetely would recommend Shifu and the teachings of Shaolin Online.

Kate Nguyen - 42 years - Portland, USA - Clinical pharmacist

"I noticed some changes even within a month or two."

After practicing regularly I noticed some changes even within a month or two. The most important thing I'd say is the general feeling of calmness. I began to feel more grounded, more relaxed, easy going, and less affected by the constant overwhelming things that are happening in the world in general, and also at my work. The biggest improvement would be that I finally managed to create a daily routine and stick to it. Also physically I started to have more energy and strength. What surprised me the most was the feeling of connection with my body. My trust in the practice has grown very much.

Ena Dobraca - 38 years - Bosnia and Herzegovina - Electrical engineer

- I like everything about this Program -

I like everything about this Program. From the content to its organization of lessons and materials is just unbelievable. I’ve noticed that my sleep has been better, and the anxieties have subsided a bit. Also, there have been situations that I was less reactive than I tended to be in the past. On the martial art training side, I have now returned to my own practice and it has definitely improved.
I can tell Sifu Shi Heng Yi and his team have put a lot of thought and planning into it. There is a progression of the curriculum. Also, the downloadable notes / questions section is just amazing. It has definitely helped me to learn better. Typically, it is the students who will need to take notes from the lessons. In this Program, all the notes are being provided to us. The Ritual section of the Program has also helped me tremendously. It provides a way for me to remember the information after the lesson and even after the Program is finished.
At the end of the day, Sifu Shi Heng Yi has thought of every aspect of our learning, not just for the 12-month period; but for our lifetime. If I had to pinpoint the one thing. It will be the holistic approach that it combines the physical, the mental and the body. I would definitely recommend this Program to anyone.

Jo - Portfolio Manager & CCO, Canada

"Simply impressive! It's like magic."

I would suggest it to everyone who is interested to go further with Shi Heng Yi. The changes in me were so noticeable that in such a short time, I became much calmer and more relaxed, found answers within myself, felt physically more comfortable and it just created this balance in me. I will probably never be a Kung Fu fighter in this life, but with Qi Gong, the Shaolin/Buddha teachings and meditation, the so-called self-healing powers have been activated. Simply impressive! It's like magic 😉 - And thank you with all of my heart.

Elena Tilemeni - 42 years - Cologne, Germany - Receptionist

- The course has enabled me to develop life long techniques that I found easily explained and are beneficial to my health and well being -

I am a 69 year old retiree. In my middle years I had been an avid wushu practitioner. Since retiring I had found it difficult to get back into an exercise routine, until I found Shaolin.Online. I began learning the Qi Gong routines until the Self Mastery course became available. The course has enabled me to develop life long techniques that I found easily explained and are beneficial to my health and well being.
Thanks to the course structure, I have developed a training routine that I find full filling. I find that I can easily assimilate the practice into my daily life. It is a habit that I will endeavour to grow for as long as I can. Age has certainly not been a barrier!
I enjoyed the way the course was structured. Each Sunday afternoon a new challenge presented itself via my email. I had time to assimilate this new challenge into my routine, yet also allow me to continue working on and practicing techniques from past lessons. I really enjoyed the step by step learning of Chan gong rou quan and Wu xing quan. I found these in particular improved my over-all balance. When enrolling in an on line course such as this, one must expect the unexpected! And this I certainly got! Techniques that will be beneficial to my health and general well-being going forward.
I would recommend Shaolin.Online to all ages. The course is well structured - enabling even elderly students to involve themselves in most of the practices. I congratulate those that designed the course and presented the online content - I found it both challenging and rewarding. Well done to you all! To the Master - A personal thank you for your investment and dedication in what you have achieved and are achieving.

Phil Woolley - Retired Deputy Principal, New Zealand

This program is literally just a guide to get you to whatever journey you want to see in your lifetime.

Since I started the program, it taught me a lot of patience and a lot of discipline. You understand why you’re doing these techniques. It’s to help end suffering and help you become better, stronger, and successful in your life. The program itself and this journey to understanding the teachings has made me a lot more open minded throughout life. Because of that I don’t think life has gotten any easier. I honestly just think I have become stronger, and I have reawoken. I’m like reborn into this stronger, disciplined, and open-minded person. I really enjoyed this change I’ve gone through.
What I liked best about the course was how easily accessible it was. Its right on your phone or your computer - wherever you need it. All these teachings and methods that I’m learning they are applicable to anyone of any age. So I taught this my grandma, my little brothers, even some clients. It’s just whoever wants to benefit from it, just has to practice it.
If you’re at a point in your life where you are not sure what you wanna do or you’re very stressed and need some directionality: I think you will benefit from this program if you come in open minded. These teachings are very therapeutic, very calming and reassuring. This program is literally just a guide to get you to whatever journey, manifestation, wish or change you want to see in your lifetime.

Alex Rascol - Personal Trainer & Student, USA

- The course deepened my appreciation for Shaolin Arts, broadened my understanding of Buddhism, and shifted my perspective on life. -

The Shaolin Online Self Mastery Course has been a transformative journey for me. Initially hesitant, I sought advice, and an insightful dream featuring Shi Heng Yi reinforced the decision. The mental aspects were somewhat familiar, drawn from my life experiences, but the course significantly impacted my external body. I gained strength, balance, flexibility, and improved cardio condition. As my external body strengthened, so did my internal chi body—a perfect foundation.
Observing Shi Heng Yi's teaching methods, his responses to student questions, and the development of the Shaolin community platform provided valuable insights. The course deepened my appreciation for Shaolin Arts, broadened my understanding of Buddhism, and shifted my perspective on life. Now, I have a clear direction for my journey, focusing on specializing in medical Qigong while continuing my lifelong practice of Shaolin Kung Fu. I'm passionate about sharing the valuable lessons learned from the Shaolin Temple as an instructor.

Joyce Doeve - Qigong instructor & Administrator, Netherlands

- A gift for yourself and all the people around yourself -

I have found more peace and balance, which affects all areas of my life. I have become more flexible and lost some excess kilos, although I was not concerned with that. I run faster (and I think this is because I train more varied, not more volume). Balance and tranquility, more flexible, more energetic, I sleep better. The integrated approach that highlights all domains and the simplicity with which things are explained with deeper layers. You can follow even if you don't understand it. You can train at the moments that suit you best and get enough tools to organize. Everyone can train at his or her level and grow.
Very sure I would recommend, a gift for yourself and all the people around yourself. Very helpful employees. Very user-friendly program and so much to discover. A living helpline if you wouldn't find it anyway that always kindly and patiently shows the way. A blessing.

Verle Kiebooms - Social Worker, Belgium

- My testimony is a living example of the transformative power of Shaolin martial arts, fostering physical well-being, mental resilience, and heightened mindfulness. -

Hello, I'm Hanny (J.M.) Keulers, 74 years old, residing here in Greece. Today, I'd like to share my profound experience with Shaolin Online. As a thinker, translator, and writer, I've led a life in solitude, grappling with depression. Yet, recently, I made a decisive choice to break free from its grip.
Chronic back pain and my history as a smoker presented additional challenges. However, in Greece, I discovered the healing power of Iyengar Yoga, particularly in breath control and relaxing tense body parts. In my quest for more energy, I found a companion in Jan Evers, a disciple of Ip Man, who introduced me to Tai Chi. The pandemic led me to Shaolin Temple Europe, and in 2021, I deepened my understanding through the online courses of Shifu Shi Heng Yi.
For me, the essence of Shaolin martial arts lies in the significance of breath and self-awareness. Though I align with Buddhist principles, I do not practice any religion. Health tests in 2021 attest to my outstanding physical condition, credited to my martial arts practice. The heightened awareness during training and controlled breathing impart a sense of lightness.
I share a poignant anecdote about a wooden spoon that has faithfully served me for half a century. This spoon bears the marks of my daily use and serves as a reminder of how we often overlook the subtle imprints of our lives. It has become a cherished possession symbolizing the fleeting nature of life. My testimony is a living example of the transformative power of Shaolin martial arts, fostering physical well-being, mental resilience, and heightened mindfulness.

"Profound changes in my life in terms of my physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing."

Shifu has opened a whole new world to me: the world of Shaolin Arts. They have brought profound changes to my life in terms of my physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Qigong has improved my mobility greatly, given me a stronger and healthier body and makes my yoga practice more fluid, too. The best news for me is that my most recent MRI scan shows no spinal stenosis anymore. Shifu’s teaching has helped me stay grounded, peaceful and stable to cope with the challenges life is throwing at me.

Tuong-Vi Black - 67 years - England - Yoga teacher

"I would recommend with my whole heart."

I now see the importance of taking responsibility for myself and have the confidence to stand up for what is right even when that means standing alone without support. This may not seem significant to some but to me, it has been life changing. I cannot thank The Shaolin Temple Europe enough. Their generosity and compassion has changed so many lives for the better. To provide this to the world is truly amazing and I would recommend with my whole heart.

Hannah Tyas - 34 years - Yorkshire, UK - English tutoring teacher

"In fact I cannot imagine my life without the Shaolin practices."

The results caught me by surprise. My body shape is transformed. My body joints work way much better, much less pain and stiffness. Strength and endurance are very satisfying for my standards. Maybe most important of all, I feel internal stability and strength. Shaolin virtues and above all focus on conciensce in every move and breath is a modus operandi that follows me in all I do. In fact I cannot imagine my life without the Shaolin practices. Would I recommend? Wholeheartedly.

- Taking part in the online Mastery Course, I find immense satisfaction in the program's structure -

I, Yehoshua Zohar, at 69 years old, hailing from Israel, married, a father of 4 adult children, and a proud grandfather of 7, want to share my transformative journey with Shaolin Online. It all began at the end of 2020 during a lockdown when, while engaging in calisthenics and Yoga on YouTube, I stumbled upon the Shaolin Temple Europe through a fortuitous recommendation. Despite being 67, retired, and in good health, my understanding of Buddhism was not profound.
Taking part in the Self Mastery Course, I find immense satisfaction in the program's structure. As a lifelong amateur athlete, I sense that I've embarked on a new phase of development with the internal Shaolin arts. The timing aligns perfectly with the changes in my aging body, and being a retiree allows me the luxury of almost daily practice. The discovery of Qi Gong during the pandemic has been a delightful addition, bringing joy to my practice, especially as I progress with the soft fist form. Various practices, including breath training, crouched monkey, power workouts, and flexibility, have greatly benefited me.
While I recognize the mental and spiritual aspects, my primary focus lies on the physical program. With multiple university degrees and being autodidactic, I appreciate the mind-physical connection in Shaolin arts, particularly in areas like static training, strengthening, and their positive impact on willpower

Yehoshua Zohar - High school principal, Israel

- I am more confident, more joyful. In general, I have become more efficient -

Through the Self Mastery course, the movement in the shoulder girdle has become freer and I am beginning to notice an opening of the chest, and an increase in my breathing volume. I feel more stable and can walk with a slightly longer stride. I have the impression that blockages are loosening. My "mood" has improved. I gradually see things in my personal environment more clearly and recognize and understand connections better. This has an influence on my behavior. I am more confident, more joyful. In general, I have become more efficient.
I was and am extremely enthusiastic about the entire course, be it the organization, the timing, the content, the workbooks, the lists, the live sessions, the constant information via emails ... I am extremely enthusiastic and feel an unspeakable gratitude that I had the opportunity to participate.
What I found very helpful, to name a few points more specifically:
- the always same routine every month and therefore every week, helped me a lot to develop routine and to keep track.
- The routine schedules with indication of the type of task and practice period have saved a lot of "you have to think about it" saved.
- the exact task like "8 times a day for the next 21 days" gave me the chance to spend more time on one exercise. This way I was never under time pressure and learned how rewarding it is to dwell on one thing.
What was not expected was the actual variety of what the course offered. What I liked most was the passion and good intentions behind everything. I can (have) highly recommend Shaolin.Online. Why: For a very long time I was looking for help, exercises, instructions, teachings, in fact for "instruments" or a teacher with whose help I could improve my personal situation. With Shaolin.online I have found all this. My main argument is: Shaolin.online is absolutely authentic and credible. You can turn to it with confidence. And I would like to thank all contributors most sincerely.

Christine Klein - Retired teacher, Germany

- The Self-Mastery program has been a revelation, unlocking layers of understanding within me. -

I'm Yuni Sriwitono, 42, from Indonesia, happily single, and immersed in the worlds of dance and design. The Self-Mastery program has been a revelation, unlocking layers of understanding within me. As I delved deeper into the exercises and discussions, I realized that the more I explore my breath, the more space I find within myself a space I can share with others, especially my parents. This course has shown me the importance of nurturing 'me' before extending it to others.
It introduced me to perspectives different from the dogmas of my upbringing essential revelations that challenge my old beliefs. I often found myself lost in thought during practice, grappling with this new language and its impact on my body. At 40, I've come to realize that it's time to deconstruct the systems I spent my childhood mastering. I'm in the process of building something new, and the journey is unfolding.
In practical terms, this expanded understanding of our bodies and energy development has significantly enriched my work in dance. The course compelled me to release prior judgments, allowing me to perceive my students in new ways. I've become a better guide, assisting them in uncovering hidden abilities. Recently, I successfully mentored a young dancer, even though our genres differed. As a dancer, I've learned to be kinder to myself while maintaining high expectations. I'm deeply grateful for the profound lessons this course continues to impart.

- Master Shi Heng Yi's teachings on living, mindset, problem-solving, and Shaolin arts resonated deeply with me -

Master Shi Heng Yi's teachings on living, mindset, problem-solving, and Shaolin arts resonated deeply with me. His authenticity was evident as he embodied the principles he shared. Upon incorporating his video presentations into my routine, I experienced unexpected relief from persistent hip pain that had troubled me for two years. This newfound physical well-being translated into a calmer, happier, and more agile version of myself, with improved clarity of thought. Engaging in daily exercises, sometimes twice a day, brought about numerous positive changes that would take hours to enumerate, reinstating my confidence in human kindness.

Ivana Stamenković Ziva - Belgrade, Serbia - Professor of flute and chamber music

- I suspected that there would be some kind of change, but that it would be like this, I didn't even think about it -

I signed up for self-mastery because I wanted to change my life, especially in terms of self-control and my health. During that year, from the beginning of self-mastery to the end, I changed above all myself. From my point of view, my biggest change is that I am much calmer, and I wonder about it myself. :-D Things that would have thrown me off or pissed me off a year ago leave me cold today. I stopped dealing with nonsense. To my delight, today I can deal better with the people around me. Especially at work. In terms of my health, it has improved in that my asthma has improved and it's probably weird, but my hair is falling out a lot less. :-) I learned to focus more on what I'm doing. I perceive more my every movement, breath, touch with the surroundings. So, to sum it up, I am much more sensitive, both to myself and to those around me, for which I am incredibly grateful to all of Shaolin Temple Europe, because without self-mastery, my life would be the same as before.
I don't know if I can say what I liked the most. Because I liked everything I learned all year. The most relaxing and calming thing for me is meditation. I really fell in love with you. It's my nightly bedtime routine. Above all, my expectations were exceeded by the fact that I can be much calmer than I was a year ago. I suspected that there would be some kind of change, but that it would be like this, I didn't even think about it. :-) Also, feeling the qi flowing inside my body. I didn't know that before and it's a wonderful and interesting feeling. I still enjoy the sensations of my body during any exercise, whether static or moving. New experiences and feelings keep appearing. I think my journey after a year is just beginning and I am looking forward to what is next in my life. :-)
I definitely recommend Shaolin.Online. I actually do it in practice. Mostly at work when people ask me about the changes they have noticed in me. I work as a librarian in a library that is visited by many people every day. Some will ask what's going on that I'm different, so I'll tell them and give them a link to the Shaolin website or YouTube and tell them what it's doing for me in my personal life. Why would I recommend Shaolin? Well, that's clear. :-D Because it's an amazing way to achieve something better. Better health, wiser decision-making, behavior, whole life. I feel much more calm and well-being within myself. I think that every person who wants a change will find that change at Shaolin Temple Europe. Be it physical exercise, mental exercise, meditation or the theory of Buddhism. All in all, for me, it's a wonderful journey that I want to continue on as long as I can. Thank you to everyone who accompanies me on this wonderful journey from start to finish and to everyone who participates in Self-Mastery. I got much more here than I expected. :-)

- I am calmer and much more controlled when encountering difficult people or situations and find my level of awareness of my surroundings, noises, colours etc much sharper. -

Shaolin Self Mastery Course - physical level - I have been amazed by the rapid increase in weight loss, endurance and ability to endure with the physical exercises as the course has progressed. I have firmed up and toned a great deal of my muscles, especially in my legs. Mentally - I am finding I have much more self discipline and focus. I am an artist, and since starting this course, I am finding it much easier to connect with my intuition and create paintings borne from my spirit. I am able to access a meditative state much easier even when I am painting. I am calmer and much more controlled when encountering difficult people or situations and find my level of awareness of my surroundings, noises, colours etc much sharper.
Since encountering SHY and STE, my life as drastically changed. I sadly lost my mother in August 2021 and I sincerely feel that if it were not for your teachings, this deep pain would have been much much more difficult to endure and come out the other end. It is the very practises themselves and Shifu's most beautiful way of teaching them, which has allowed them to become embedded within my being. I am a much more calm, conscious and intentional person now.
Realising the power we have access to within ourselves is a huge asset and gift to me. What really touched my heart is the way SHY carries himself and his voice has such deep contemplation attached to every answer.
Also, I am finding that I am consciously planning my life for the first time in my life. Before, I was on the reactive foot - always in a stress situation as I was not in control - low confidence and feeling like an item stuck in a stormy sea. Now, I feel my inner energy and outer aura becoming stronger and more grounded. I am writing my own life story and trusting that this is a good Universe.

Vanessa Penman - Artist, New Zealand

- There is nothing like it -

For me the most important aspect about the Self-Mastery Program is that there is nothing like it. It really offers the full package for body, mind and spirit with such a great structure. The commitment and care that was put into creating this program from all the people involved can be felt in every video.
The Program has become a kind of compass for me in all imaginable life areas. My physical fitness has without doubt improved a lot. Thanks to the variety of exercises and how the program is structured it has become “easy” to integrate the practices into daily life. Also my mind has become much calmer and focused which benefits me in my work-life and personal life. In general I just feel a lot more balanced and calm especially in unexpected situations that would normally shake things up. I have now also found information about nutrition and healthy eating that feels doable which is something I have been looking for. My life has changed so much in a positive way. With every new lesson my trust in myself grows and also in the teachings.
Shaolin Online gives such a high quality of teachings and without doubt is improving my life in all areas, the Online Platform does offer all you need. I would definitely recommend Shaolin Online. It is a bundle of knowledge that I am sure everyone can benefit from.

Claire Käfer - IT Procurement Analyst, Germany

- These last four months have transformed me in ways I could not have imagined -

Whatever work the week's lesson demanded, it brought me a certain well-being: intellectual satisfaction, emotional calm, physical improvement, and even almost childlike feelings of happiness by learning Chan Gong Rou Quan or Rei Men Shou. I so appreciate the sessions of Master Shi Heng Zong, the abbot of the monastery. I love his way of presenting things, through some kind of parables and some humour. Knowledge that I used to have on a purely abstract level has now become more concrete in my days.
These last four months have transformed me in ways I could not have imagined. I have found the courage to take on things that I had been procrastinating on for many months, even years. The video courses, the workbooks, the FB community, the rhythm, the live sessions, etc., each of the aspects and tools that I have access to since my enrollment all contribute to the evolution that I experience day by day.

Céline Benninger - Associate Professor, France

- My entire world inside myself has changed .. inside and outside -

I was looking for my path and needed some guidance. My entire world inside myself has changed .. inside and outside. The amount of self growth the course provided me exceeded my expectations.
I would recommend Shaolin.online mainly for anyone wanting to deepen and enrich themselves through the ancient arts.

Michael Iavarone - Acupuncturist, Switzerland

- I no longer struggle against racing thoughts, and I no longer slip into rumination -

When I started the Self-Mastery program, I was dealing with a lot of anxiety, rumination and racing thoughts. I suffered from shallow breathing and would sometimes stop breathing for a few moments in stressful situations. I was also just learning about Buddhism and Daoism, but I didn't have a teacher or curriculum to follow, so I was not getting much benefit from those teachings. I was lost in a sea of information with no guidance on how the different bits of knowledge fit together.
Since the start of the program, my mental state is much calmer and clearer. I no longer struggle against racing thoughts, and I no longer slip into rumination. My anxiety has been greatly reduced and people around me have noticed my progress in that area of my life. I have noticed that my natural way of breathing is deeper and that in moments where I would normally stop breathing, I instead take a deep breath and become aware of my breath. Every time that happens, I am reminded of how grateful I am to have learned the breathing techniques from the program. In the area of spirituality, I have progressed in my understanding of the Buddhist and Daoist teachings, and thanks to the Self-Mastery program, I understand how they work together. The program gave me an understanding of how those teachings can be applied to life and now I am on the road to a better quality of life because I am gradually seeing benefits of following these dharma teachings. I have also benefitted a lot from the online community and their answers to my many questions about Buddhism and Daoism, so I am very grateful for the opportunity to join the Self-Mastery Program Facebook group.
My favorite part of the program was the breathing lesson because it made such a huge impact on my day-to-day life--mentally and physically. The online Facebook community exceeded my expectations because the other members are so helpful and knowledgeable. Also, because the Facebook community members offer their good will and inspiration freely to other group members to encourage everyone to thrive in life.
I definitely recommend Shaolin.Online because it is a platform where students can learn authentic ancient teachings from teachers who thoughtfully cultivate that knowledge and provide it with the intention that all their students live well. The courses on Shaolin.Online offer knowledge and methods that help students build their character, understand their mind and emotions, and discipline their minds and bodies.
