Overview

An immersive 5-day retreat into the internal art of Shaolin White Crane.

At the heart of this practice lies

Shuang Yang Pei Ho Rou Rouan Chien — “Sun Frost White Crane Soft and Gentle Art.”

• A rare and subtle system where movement becomes a way to listen inward.

• Each movement invites you to slow down and feel more.

• To reconnect with your breath, your body, and your mind—not as separate parts, but as one continuous unit.

• As the breath deepens, the body begins to open.

• Tension softens, awareness expands, and a quiet, natural strength emerges from within.

• Gentle on the outside, yet deeply transformative.
  
  

This retreat offers a space to step away from noise, to refine perception, and to rediscover the natural sensitivity of the body.

What You Will Practice

Each day is structured to support both learning and integration.

You will explore:

• Breath-led movement

• Deep relaxation and release of tension

• Whole-body coordination

• Fascia awareness and elasticity

• Opening joints and internal pathways

• Subtle perception of movement and energy

The practice is supported by:

• Qi Gong movements

• Seated and standing meditation

• Integration and guided awareness practices
  
  

This is a practice of refinement, sensitivity, and presence.

About the Practice

​

Shuang Yang Pei Ho Rou Rouan Chien, or “Sun Frost White Crane Soft and Gentle Art,” is an internal form of Shaolin White Crane consisting of sixty-six movements.

It is at once:

• a martial art

• a form of qigong

• a moving meditation
  
  

Each movement becomes a point of focus for the breath, body, and mind.

By learning to guide the breath through the whole body, the practice begins to nourish the internal systems—including the organs and the brain. With time and attention, the body opens systematically with the breath. Joints release, tissues soften, and circulation of blood and energy increases.

This process supports:

• The opening of joints and fascia

• Improved flow of chi and blood

• Gentle detoxification

• The development of elasticity and coordination

• At the same time, the mind learns to rest on each part of the body.

• It becomes more focused, more spacious, and more aware.
  
  

Flexible body, flexible mind.

During this retreat, we will work with a selected part of the form, allowing time to explore these internal principles in depth—beyond surface movement and into direct experience
