Course Overview
Shaolin Strength and Longevity Qi Gong
Yi Jin Jing (Muscle Tendon Change)
3 Year Apprenticeship Program
Begins March 19, 2025
Shaolin Strength and Longevity Qi Gong is a very effective and enjoyable way to strengthen your muscles, nerves, fascia, and bones, as well as ensure you do not lose your muscle mass as you age.
Although most Qi Gong exercises look very relaxed and effortless, they can still improve your fitness because they activate, stretch, and tone almost every muscle and membrane in your body. If you think of your Qi and Meridians like electricity and the thickness of a wire, the more abundant your ‘wires’ are the stronger the Qi you can experience.

Six Initial Grottos of Nei Gong
A Grotto, in Daoist practice, is a metaphoric cave of safety, beauty, and silence; or a crypt to place the aspects of oneself that have died away in meditation. A Grotto can also mean an inner chamber of evolution – you only go in if you are committed to coming out transformed.
Each stage of this Inner Cultivation process is referred to as a Grotto because of the implication of change, the completion of a step on the journey of creative evolution, and the awareness that when you are ready, you can enter the next Grotto. And so it continues forever. The Six Grottos are sourced in the ancient source text of the Yi Dao Huan Yuan tradition of TCM and Daoist Cultivation.
The First Grotto – Life (Qi) exists between Yin and Yang (Sky and Land)
The Second Grotto – Who is Meditating on an Inner Landscape?
The Third Grotto – Many Minds, Many Bodies, and Many Ways of Coming into Being
Fourth Grotto – TCM Physiology of Inner Cultivation and Nei Gong Inductions
Fifth Grotto – Narrow Passes and Inner Openings
Sixth Grotto – Coming Home – Returning to the Source – (Huan Yuan)
Getting to this level of Qi Gong practice and experience usually takes a few years of dedicated and professionally guided practice. This course will give you the tools and guidance to begin and personalize this life-changing and life-extending practice.
