Shi Heng Yi

Guided Meditation

Hay Festival 2025, 

Online sensation Master Shi Heng Yi leads this guided workshop, revealing the wisdom of Shaolin teachings for modern life. Shi Heng Yi founded the Shaolin Temple Europe. He will share powerful exercises in breathwork, movement and mindfulness to help release tension, build body awareness and access hidden layers of your being.

Reflecting the teachings in his new book Shaolin Spirit, these tried and tested routines are the foundations of Zen Buddhism as well as the source of power for Kung Fu warriors – and you can master them too, unlocking the potential hidden inside you.
