Qigong: Yi Jin Jing - Shaolin Yoga
Yi Jin Jing means Muscle-Tendon metamorphosis. It's an ancient fusion of Yoga and Qigong dating back to c500AD. Around that time, Bodhidharma, an Indian monk, travelled to the Shaolin Temple and shared his Yogic practices with the Shaolin Monks who combined it with their existing Qigong practice to create 'Shaolin Yoga'.
FRIDAY 1pm EGGBOROUGH will be continuing this set in 2025 and other classes will learn / revisit it later in 2025
